Fitzroy VIC 3065

By far Fitzroy's best-kept secret is this historic former-stable and hidden garden oasis that's brilliantly converted into a secluded, light and airy lifestyle sanctuary. An original bluestone wall creates a compelling backdrop to the superbly composed, multi-level interior of this unique, country-style conversion in a relaxed, sun-splashed garden setting privately positioned at the heart of Fitzroy. An absolute one of a kind on a high-walled 136 sq. metre allotment (approx.), this remarkable residence fringed in travertine-paved, garden-set surroundings is capped by a soaring timber-trussed ceiling extending over voluminous light-filled spaces. The vast ground-floor layout includes a substantial living room opening to a wisteria-draped terrace, dining area, spacious kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, main bedroom with doors to the garden, laundry area and a fabulous bathroom. Upstairs is a 2nd bedroom and a storeroom while the home is enhanced by split-system air-conditioning and wood heater. A genuinely rare discovery with an extraordinary sense of space, serenity and seclusion, this stunning converted stable more reminiscent of a Spanish finca or stylish French farmhouse is perfectly located nearby Brunswick and Smith Streets' extensive range of cafs, restaurants and shops, trams, Fitzroy Pool and the Edinburgh Gardens.
