Held in the same family for more than 65 years, this handsome double storey Victorian terrace is ready for a new generation to embrace an enduring Fitzroy North lifestyle in one of its finest streets, strolling distance to village cafes. Echoing timeless grandeur across vast proportions, it has been tailored for contemporary comfort with beautifully refurbished light-filled accommodation, private alfresco entertaining and ROW access to off-street parking. Set upon land subdivided in 1888, this much-loved home was built as one of six terraces owned by prominent Melbourne businessman, William Charles Angliss, from 1899 to 1936.
Occupying a deep block with a 17ft frontage, it unveils soaring ceilings, ornate roses and picture rails throughout the front of the home. The ground level has a superb living room and an enormous bedroom set off the arched hallway. Freshly tiled at the back is a modern kitchen with stainless steel gas fixtures and plentiful cabinetry, generous dining zone and stylish new bathroom with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and separate w/c. Beyond French doors is a large sun-soaked courtyard, perfect to entertain family and friends. The well-defined layout is completed upstairs by two huge bedrooms (main has a wall of built-ins and a charming north-facing balcony overlooking the leafy setting), plus a rear bedroom and bathroom with a double shower.
In addition, this freshly painted property has a separate laundry with good storage, split system air-conditioning, wall heating, new carpet and an automatic garage (suitable for two small cars if storage shed is removed), which has rear lane access and drive-through access for further parking. It is also enviably placed just a short walk to city-bound trams, Edinburgh Gardens, Capital City Trail, Merri Creek Parklands and Barkly Square shops, and zoned to Merri Creek Primary School and Northcote High School.
