66 Gore Street, Fitzroy, Vic 3065

This three-level Victorian balcony terrace requiring complete renovation offers an exciting opportunity to create a large family residence with two street frontages, just round the corner from Gertrude Street and so close to the CBD and the Fitzroy Gardens. The building's former grandeur is signalled by the tall façade, with intricate iron lace and fanlight-topped panelled door. Inside, a very wide arched hallway opens into a reception room/bedroom, a second large bedroom and a series of smaller living and eating spaces. A handsome cedar-balustraded staircase sweeps up the mid-level, where some originally large rooms have been subdivided. The elegantly proportioned balcony bedroom and a smaller bedroom are set on the highest level overlooking Gore Street. High Victorian period detail includes marble fire surrounds, mirrored overmantels and cedar side cabinets. A basement provides extensive cellarage.
The land size is large by city-fringe standards - 5m by 40m approx. The deep rear courtyard, with car access, is spacious enough to permit (STCA) the construction of a studio/residence facing Little Smith Street.
