14 Hanover Street, Fitzroy, Vic 3065

A city-fringe lifestyle oasis incorporating 2 separate dwellings connected by leafy private garden, this rare opening on 2 titles (to be sold as one) is the highly-coveted jewel of the iconic 'Cairo' flats. Set peacefully to the rear of seminal Modernist architect Best Overend's innovative 1936 apartment block, this fully-renovated freestanding home (once the dining hall of Cairo) plus classic ground-floor Studio apartment represent a remarkably versatile 2-in-1 opportunity on the doorstep of Carlton Gardens, the CBD, Melbourne University, galleries, trams and Brunswick Street. The main 2-level residence with remote-control carport, solar electricity, alarm, vacuum and heating/cooling features 3 bedrooms (main with ensuite and Juliet balcony), light-filled living room overlooking large elm tree shaded entertainment deck, dining area, granite kitchen with stainless steel appliances, modern bath and powder rooms, laundry and lockable storage. An ideal home office, rental or relative's accommodation, the fabulous 'bachelor' apartment at 7/98 Nicholson St, Fitzroy is perfectly modern retaining its warmly characteristic International Style. Immortalized in award-winning author Chris Womersley's popular novel, 'Cairo' captures the romance of the fashionable 1930s and the style of contemporary living expressed at its best in this significant, low-maintenance inner-city package.Land: Strata
