Fitzroy North VIC 3068

A celebration of sustainability and heritage, this Federation beauty with a self-contained dwelling presents a remarkable 2-in-1 opportunity in the Northcote High School zone. Beautifully renovated by Revival Projects with a forward-thinking focus on eco-conscious design, this craftsman-enhanced solid brick home c1906 with 50-metre Taylor Street frontage combines an elegant 2 bedroom layout with a north-rear courtyard and a separate yet connected 2-level studio that’s fully self-contained and perfectly flexible. Paired with ornate period detail and stylish modern features, reclaimed timber from Fitzroy's iconic Lyric Theatre has been passionately repurposed to enrich a series of spaces across this solar-powered property with storied history and character. The centrepiece of the main residence is an exquisite double-glazed living room with its stunning ceiling crafted in a grand Art Nouveau style that is complemented by 2 great-sized bedrooms with tall built-in robes, a huge central bathroom (clawfoot bath and frameless-glass shower) and a large open-plan kitchen (stainless-steel appliances) and dining room with fitted corner booth. Bathing in brilliant north light, a secluded rear courtyard garden for outdoor entertaining is fringed in greenery and extends to ‘The Stables’, a freestanding double-storey brick studio with separate Taylor Street entry, kitchen, living/dining room, bedroom, bathroom and laundry, as well as reused materials from the Lyric, that’s an ideal extended family/teen retreat, WFH option and income-generating rental or Airbnb. Blending the best of a bygone era and expert curation of sustainably-sourced materials all in two separate dwellings on the one title, this remarkably rare property offers unique flexibility and peace of mind as it looks confidently to the future close to the Nicholson and North Fitzroy Villages, trams, Merri Creek parkland trails and schools including Merri Creek Primary and the Deutsche Schule.
