3/363 George Street, Fitzroy, Vic 3065

This 1930s apartment has access to a spacious garden oasis, just round the corner from Brunswick Street! In a well-maintained block of four, it was extended in the 1980s, and has recently gained a stylish upper-level extension designed by Bent Architecture. Entry is to a spacious L-shaped living and dining area, floored in lacquered recycled timber, with a well-designed kitchen and laundry set to one side. Both the living zone and the lower level bedroom open to a wide balcony with views over Fitzroy. The neat bathroom features an etched-glass window depicting the Rochester Castle Hotel.

A design award timber staircase ascends through cutout walls to the spectacular upper level. Overlooking the street is an angled-ceiling bedroom, opposite an expansive living area/studio, with custom-built cabinetry and wide industrial-style windows giving stunning views south over the CBD and to the north. To one side is an elegant tiled bathroom.

Here is a rare combination of period detail (OFP, picture rails, glazing) with sleek modern design and split-system airconditioning. A right of way opening to the lush garden offers off-street parking.
