38 Bennett Street, Fitzroy North, Vic 3068

This brilliantly renovated and extended terrace is sure to appeal! Set on a magnificent block (5x50m. approx) in a prime street close to North Fitzroy Village, Queens Parade and the Edinburgh Gardens, it combines Victorian elegance with light-filled contemporary spaces. Entry from the lace-trimmed front verandah is to a wide arched hallway with polished floor boards. Opening from the hall are two large bedrooms, both with new built-in wardrobes, Boom-period plaster detail and open fireplaces, one with a handsome marble overmantel. A well-proportioned formal living room in the centre of the house is flooded with light from a long north-facing internal courtyard. Designed with high ceilings to complement the Victorian structure, the new section of the house incorporates two good-sized bathrooms both with stone benches, one with an overbath shower and a superbly fitted kitchen open to a vast informal living and dining zone which flows through ceiling-high glass to the landscaped courtyard and garden. Ample car parking is accessed from a wide bluestone laneway. Incorporating a concealed laundry, hydronic heating and ample storage, this impressive residence offers executive living at one of North Fitzroy's best addresses.
