Summary: Architecture that redefines inner-city living
Description: Designed as an architect's own family home, this inspired "black, white, timber house" transforms a unique inner-city corner site (232m2, with wide 6.8m frontage) into a light-filled, easy-living residence that feels both grounded in history and confidently contemporary. The original cottage frontage has been respectfully retained to honour the existing streetscape, while a refined architectural addition unfolds beyond, revealing a flexible and highly liveable TARDIS-like home across two sprawling levels. Living spaces are positioned at the heart of the home to take full advantage of the site's generous width, allowing daylight, views and natural ventilation. In summer, the home opens seamlessly to gardens and decks, capturing cooling cross-breezes, while in winter it remains warm and welcoming, filled with natural light. The superbly appointed kitchen, featuring fully integrated Liebherr fridge and freezer, VZUG, Miele, and Qaisar appliances, anchors the main living zone, combining stone benchtops, black overhead and under-bench cabinetry and warm timber accents, with excellent storage and a strong connection to the dining area. Throughout the home, thoughtful planning delivers adaptable spaces that adapt easily to family living, working from home and entertaining. Upstairs, accommodation is quietly zoned, while the restrained form of the upper level ensures the contemporary addition remains a backdrop to the original cottage. Elevated outlooks and city views further enhance the sense of connection to the surrounding urban landscape. Designed with long-term sustainability in mind, the home incorporates double glazing throughout, hydronic heating, ceiling fans, high levels of insulation to walls, roofs and floors, rainwater harvesting for garden and toilet use, photovoltaic panels, solar hot water and low-energy lighting. All to significantly reduce energy consumption and running costs. Outdoors, generous decking and neatly maintained, low-maintenance gardens create multiple zones for outdoor living, complemented by side access from Batman Street, a secure garage with provision for electric vehicle charging, and a welcoming front porch ideal for morning coffee. Perfectly positioned in a tightly held pocket in the heart of Fitzroy North, the home enjoys easy access to Nicholson and North Fitzroy Villages, with the city centre also within close reach. Excellent public transport options include Tram Routes 96, 1, 6 and 11, all within walking distance. Education options are extensive, with zoning for Fitzroy North Primary School and Fitzroy High School, alongside St Joseph's Primary School and proximity to Melbourne University and RMIT. Outdoor recreation is equally well catered for, with Edinburgh Gardens and the Merri Creek Linear Reserve all nearby, offering green open space, walking trails and community amenity.

Summary: Live Comfortably Now, Reimagine Tomorrow / Immediate Appeal with Outstanding Potential
Description: Behind the charming façade of this classic Victorian cottage lies a substantial home, rich in character and offering both immediate comfort and long-term potential. Larger than its heritage-style frontage suggests, this is a residence that can be enjoyed from day one, while leaving plenty of room to reimagine and modernise over time. The property unfolds across a series of well-proportioned spaces, beginning with two of the three impressively sized bedrooms. Serviced by a functional main bathroom with walk-in shower and plenty of storage, each bedroom benefits from built-in robes with two also boasting original fireplaces with period tiling. High ceilings and natural light reinforce the sense of scale throughout, as you extend through the formal living and dining space toward the rear, where a neatly presented u-shaped kitchen is met by a light-filled informal meals area, complete with breakfast bench and skylight. Outside through the quaint sunroom, a secluded and covered rear courtyard provides year-round entertaining space, offering private access to the third bedroom or optional home office, and the secure single garage, accessed via ROW, adds genuine convenience in this tightly held neighbourhood. Equally compelling is the location, with Nicholson Street and St Georges Road both within easy walking distance, and cafés, specialty stores, trams, and everyday amenities close at hand. The open spaces and trails of the Merri Creek parklands are also just moments away, delivering an enviable balance of urban energy and natural retreat to this enduring residence.
