264 Park Street, Fitzroy North, Vic 3068

This 1870s double fronted home, the oldest house in the neighbourhood, has been renovated by its architect owner for expansive family living where the modest cottage façade belies the spacious contemporary interior. The charming living room and double large study/fourth bedroom of the original building overlook the green expanse of parkland and the Capitol City trail. Opening from a beautifully designed kitchen, with premium appliances, granite benches and quality cabinetry, the extension to the rear contains an informal living and dining zone, with a large Jetmaster wood-burning fireplace. This elegant high-ceilinged space flows out through a wall of glass to a paved terrace and deep landscaped garden. A smart bathroom, with separate bath and shower, and a full-sized laundry with access to a service area, complete the lower level accommodation. A timber staircase framed by an ingeniously crafted metal 'wall' leads up to the bedroom level. All three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes; like the upper level bathroom, two of them offer glimpses of the city skyline.

Covered parking is provided from a right of way to the rear, and adjoining the carport is a substantial workshop/playroom. This exceptional property features period detail, extensive storage, hydronic heating and an alarm system. The location is one of the finest in North Fitzroy - quiet Park Street Street is a 15-minute tramride from the CBD, and within strolling distance of Nicholson Street, St Georges Rd cafes and the Edinburgh Gardens.
