154 Barkly Street, Fitzroy North, Vic 3068

Multiple living areas, elegant character and modern appointments bring flexibility and functionality perfect for today and years ahead to this attractive 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence. Classically Fitzroy North, a beautiful heritage façade and courtyard garden on a plane treelined street introduce this renovated Edwardian’s extensive single-level interior connecting seamlessly out to a leafy rear entertainment courtyard. An arched hallway with a high period ceiling immediately leads to a light-filled parents’ retreat made up of a north-facing bedroom, a walk-in robe and a stylish ensuite including a frameless-glass shower, a heated towel rail and light court access. Next along is a cleverly designed study alcove with a desk and storage for working from home, before a bright central lounge room that’s positioned for parents, kids or all the family to relax and unwind warmed by gas space heating. Additional accommodation of 2 great-sized bedrooms including mirrored built-in robes (split-system air-conditioning) are superbly complemented by a central bathroom with a large bath and heated towel rail, along with a handy sky-lit European laundry. An open concept living and dining room at the rear is a great place to gather with its Bosch-equipped gourmet kitchen (stone-topped waterfall island and walk-in pantry), reverse-cycle heating/cooling, polished hardwood floorboards and expansive glazing including wide French doors. Just outside is a picture of privacy, greenery and serenity with a lush courtyard garden offering wonderful alfresco space to enjoy the company of family and friends in a low-maintenance setting. Confidently look long-term with this exceptional inner-city home that’s perfect for a growing family, or even downsizers, first-time buyers and investors, in a prized lifestyle pocket zoned to Merri Creek Primary and Northcote High schools.
