18 Park Parade, Fitzroy North, Vic 3068

This handsome freestanding Victorian residence in the heart of North Fitzroy has so much to offer - a large block in a charming cul de sac location, carefully designed floorplan with large light-filled rooms, and a combination of period grace with modern lifestyle amenity. Entry from the lace-trimmed verandah is to a hallway, opening to two double bedrooms (both with BIRs, one with OFP) overlooking the cottage garden. A former bedroom has been converted into an ultra-large tiled bathroom, complete with spa and ample storage space.

A well-proportioned sitting room with tiled fire-surround precedes the expansive L-shaped informal dining and living area, open on one side to a large kitchen with timber cabinetry. A full wall of timber-framed windows looks out over the leafy brick-paved courtyard, which has ROW access. A large study, lined with Baltic pine, with a fireplace and French doors to a light court, opens from the kitchen. Set to the rear are a second bathroom and laundry, and the huge main bedroom with BIRs and a full wall of windows and French doors opening to the courtyard.

Features of this distinctive property include period-style joinery, heating, security alarm and air conditioning. The address is one of North Fitzroy's best-kept secrets - quiet and secluded, but within a few minutes walk of the Edinburgh Gardens, Queens Parade shopping and public transport. Primary and secondary schools and a kindergarten are close by.
