Fitzroy VIC 3065

AUTHENTIC WAREHOUSE DESIGN: SO SPACIOUS, SO TRANQUIL
Landscaped gardens seamlessly linked to large free-flowing indoor spaces, handcrafted recycled Oregon, jarrah and eucalyptus timbers, and a double allotment (420 sq.m. approx) in the heart of Fitzroy combine to make this freestanding residence with dual street frontages very special! The creeping fig-clad pedimented facade of the 1870s warehouse (later a fruiterer's storehouse) gives no clues to the transformation which the present owners have worked within. Massive timber doors slide to reveal a Zen-style pebbled courtyard, with a timber bridge leading to a double-door entry into multi-zoned living spaces. Overlooking the courtyard are a music room with sliding circular door, and a large study. The vast double-storey atrium living and dining space draw year-round sunlight from massive timber-framed oriel windows; open to the entertaining area, floored in Indian sandstone, is the kitchen, superbly equipped with 120-year old red gum & Carrara marble benchtops, steel mesh cabinetry, pantry and two stainless steel ovens(gas & electric). A curved wall of shelving in the living area conceals a secret room of compactus storage/cellar. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a stunning bathroom overlooking a private garden with free-standing bath and separate shower, a full-size laundry and WC.
Linking the two levels is a remarkable whale-backbone staircase with wide jarrah treads - a work of art in itself!- leading to three large bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes, retreat/4th bedroom with balcony, second bathroom with bespoke circular shower and powder room/WC.
