10 Percy Street, Fitzroy North, Vic 3068

This late Victorian terrace cottage gem has been burnished to new life by its current owner to offer crisp and elegant living in a prime North Fitzroy location. Its lemon and white facade, bullnose verandah, slate roof and cottage garden provide immediate street appeal. The tessellated verandah opens to a picture-gallery hallway floored in mellow Baltic pine. Two sunny bedrooms lead off to the right; the second, which has a window to a paved lightwell, has been fitted with craftsman-built wardrobes and glass and timber cabinets, making it ideal for use as a home office. The hallway opens out to a delightful sitting room with gas log fire and French doors to one side, and then to a dining room flooded with light from a partially glazed ceiling. The rear area of the house is floored with new Italian ceramic tiles, chosen to complement the brilliant white dcor used throughout. The kitchen, fitted with stainless steel St George appliances, has enamelled cabinetry and Queensland maple benches. It opens to a tiled bathroom, with over-bath shower. Double doors link the dining area to a paved courtyard with elevated garden beds and plantings which complement the style of the house. To one side of the courtyard an outbuilding has been converted to a laundry. Features of this immaculately renovated property include reverse cycle airconditioning, sound wiring, new ceiling fans, and quality carpets. Percy Street offers private and secure living, with ample on-street parking, and is within a few minutes walk to two tram lines, Rathdowne Village, Brunswick Street, and the Edinburgh Gardens.
