Fitzroy

Description of the home

A unique living space right in the heart of artistic Fitzroy. Fantastic location, nestled on the corner of Smith and Johnston Street, above a high end fashion design studio and boutique. The dwelling has it’s own private and secure access via the back, through a lush shared courtyard. This tranquil apartment amid the hustle and bustle, is ideal for a creative working professional. It is also well equipped to be used as a semi-commercial, live and work space. I run the fashion boutique downstairs and there is one large street-facing bedroom and one small, courtyard-facing bedroom and study.

Originally restored to be used as a photography studio and creative workspace, this character-filled period apartment has been fully refurbished to a high standard and comes partially furnished with vintage and antique furniture. The artful restoration also includes hand crafted feature walls in each room. The fully equipped kitchen comes with a luxury fridge, microwave, gas oven/ stove top and art-deco dining table. Beautiful, light and airy spaces featuring period details – large windows, ornamental fireplaces, skylight in the corridor, polished dark hardwood floors. The dwelling also features a luscious courtyard (shared with the shop), which will be great for outdoor entertaining.

A fabulous and very convenient location, with trams and buses right at your doorstep, 15 min walk to Victoria Park station, 8 mins walk to Fitzroy Pools, and local gyms are all nearby. Aldi right across the street, 5 mins walk to Coles or Woolworths on Smith Street, Short walking distance to all Smith Street and Brunswick Street eateries, shopping and nightlife.

There’s no garage available, but the property is valid for parking permits with the Yarra city council for street parking if you have a car. There is always ample permit parking on Gore Street which is very close by.
