SPLENDIDLY SPACIOUS BLUESTONE LANDMARK
Here is North Fitzroy’s own piece of Gibraltar. Constructed ca 1860, this striking four-bedroom terrace residence, built entirely of bluestone, awaits restoration for another 150 years of rock-solid living! Entry is to an impressively proportioned reception hall, leading to high-ceilinged separate living and dining rooms with 1930 decorative detail. The large updated kitchen/meals area to the rear opens to a full size laundry and bathroom. A doorway under the stair leads to a hotel-size cellar; a box room provides additional storage space.
A wide staircase with curved cedar rails leads to the bedroom level. To the front, overlooking Queens Parade, two bedrooms open from an anteroom, while a further double bedroom has northerly views. (The upper level boxroom could readily become an ensuite bathroom.) On the other side of the landing are a big bathroom, with clawfoot bath and separate shower, and the fourth bedroom.
The north-facing paved courtyard, which contains a quaint bluestone outhouse, offers parking space from a right of way to the rear. This distinguished historic property is superbly located in the heart of Queens Parade Village, close to tram and train transport and Merri Creek.
