97 Best Street, Fitzroy North, Vic 3068

Set behind an ornate Victorian façade in one of Fitzroy North’s most sought-after streets, this beautifully presented two-bedroom terrace pairs enduring period character with an easy contemporary lifestyle, moments from the neighbourhood’s parks, cafes and village life.

Beyond the picket fence and established front garden, a soaring arched hallway introduces the home’s original proportions and details. Two generous double bedrooms sit to the front, each with extensive floor-to-ceiling built-in robes and an original working fireplace, while timber plantation shutters, stained-glass detailing and high ceilings reinforce the home’s period character.

Further along, the living room provides a comfortable retreat with split-system heating and cooling and a connection to a side courtyard, before the home opens into a dedicated dining space with an architect-designed contemporary kitchen. Timber-toned cabinetry, stone benchtops, Bosch appliances and a gas cooktop are complemented by exposed brickwork and a skylight that draws natural light into the heart of the home.

A modern bathroom continues the home’s clean, contemporary finish, while outside, an private rear garden with established trees provides an inviting oasis for long lunches, evening drinks or a quiet morning coffee. Rear laneway access adds everyday convenience.

From this tightly held Fitzroy North address, mornings at Edinburgh Gardens, coffee along St Georges Road and an easy tram ride into the city all become part of the everyday, with Brunswick Street and the wider inner north close by.
