207 Holden Street, Fitzroy North, Vic 3068

What a transformation! The pretty period faade of this early 20th century terrace gives few clues to what lies within, where an inspired collaboration between architect David Luck and designer Michelle Shannon has produced a light-filled contemporary residence with four bedrooms, a study, and extensive entertaining areas.
Three double bedrooms open from an arched hallway with polished floors; two of these have new full-height Shug windows to the side, and all have built-in storage. An elegant Caesarstone and tile bathroom with underfloor heating also runs off the hall, between a wall of cupboards and a concealed laundry. A tall contemporary doorway heralds the new section of the house. Here, a brilliantly planned kitchen with appliance cabinets, pantry, and Miele appliances separates the generous north-facing living and dining zones. This dramatic space, with soaring ceilings and extensive areas of glass, has been designed to attract maximum light. The living end opens to a wide timber deck set above a landscaped outdoor entertaining area, while the dining zone opens to a large study with fitted storage, and to a deck which wraps around to the side of the house. Stairs ascend to the spacious main bedroom, with high-set north and west facing windows, a sleek ensuite bathroom, and walk-in wardrobes. This meticulously-finished home, featuring craftsman-built storage, hydronic heating, reverse-cycle airconditioning and a security system, is located close to public transport, bike paths, cafes and schools. Note the land size - 6.7m x 46m.
