291 Napier Street, Fitzroy, Vic 3065

This tall polychromatic brick balcony terrace has been fastidiously renovated to offer a brilliant fusion of period detail and contemporary style. Its extensive indoor living spaces are complemented by a tranquil courtyard garden, designed for year-round entertaining.

Entrance is to a wide arched hallway, floored like the all of the downstairs rooms in richly-patinated box timber. Linked formal sitting and dining rooms, with fine cornice work and marble fireplaces (coal fire) run to the left of the hall, the dining room having a window opening to a landscaped side courtyard. The hallway opens out to the stairwell, beneath which a stylish powder room has been fitted. To the rear of the house is a pleasant informal living area overlooked by a stylish kitchen, fitted with Caesarstone benchtops, Miele appliances, and finely-crafted cabinetry. The kitchen looks out to pergola covered deck, which contains an outdoor kitchen. This flows down to a beautifully landscaped courtyard enclosed by mellow brick and timber walls, featuring antique metal doors from Buenos Aires and a fountain flanked by stone lions.

A handsome staircase leads up to the bedrooms. The main bedroom, set across the front of the house with views through the balcony over Fitzroy, is superbly proportioned. Like the other two bedrooms, it has quality built-in wardrobes, and bleached Baltic pine floors. The bathroom, tiled in Italian procaine, has a dual shower.

This fine property contains unusual period features such as handmade silvered leadlighting, the original pendant alabaster shades and a delicate French chandelier. Contemporary amenities include gas log fires, sensor controlled Noroit heating and a Zip water filter.

The location is excellent in a quiet street just round the corner from public transport and the vibrant caf life of Brunswick Street. Your inspection will not disappoint!
