Regal, strong, and positioned on the doorstep of the Carlton Gardens, Brunswick Street and the CBD,
this unique wide bluestone terrace home circa 1857 on King William Street is an elegant fusion of the modern and historic.

Nestled in a row of five terraces only, classically Fitzroy and rich with period features, the home welcomes you from the detailed hallway with beautiful ceiling rose to the relaxed family lounge zone. Replete with fire place, bright with views and side access to your bluestone paved rear courtyard garden, this space is excellent for casual entertaining, cosy living and urban garden planting. Beyond, the large provincial country-style kitchen flows neatly into the dining zone, warm with glowing wood cabinetry, plentiful preparation space and storage, plus gas appliances, dishwasher and garden views. A wall of glass provides brilliant natural light and added room for casual seating enables this space to double as a secondary sitting area. Outdoors discover a low-maintenance tiered courtyard, with space for outdoor dining amidst a mature, urban garden.

Each of the three bedrooms in this spacious home has unique features, from the majestic windows and promenade balcony in the master suite to the dramatic marble fireplace in the downstairs bedroom.
Rich with period features such as plaster ceiling roses and massive-height ceilings, each room has something different to charm the eye. There is also an easily accessible attic room, suitable as a study/office, or much sought after extra storage.
The contemporary central bathroom is both beautifully bright and naturally ventilated, comprising
a bath for evening soaks, separate shower and a spacious vanity with room for all the family. There is a second guest powder room downstairs with a
European laundry for convenience.

This wide terrace also has two foot thick walls, ensuring a cosy home in winter and a cool one in summer. Complemented by gas heating, quaint terrace views, a rear pedestrian ROW and superb access to public transport and the lifestyle of Fitzroy and Carlton, it represents both the future and the past of this illustrious neighbourhood.
