LATE VICTORIAN RESIDENCE IN THRIVING LOCALE - $550000

Description

Blessed with excellent access to Fitzroy North's public transport, parklands, shopping facilities and schools is this circa 1895 single fronted residence. This home has been in the same family since 1942. Nestled in a one-way street opposite Park Street Reserve, it provides an opportunity for comfortable living as is with scope for renovation and extension (STCA). Interestingly, the old Inner Circle passenger railway line that serviced the inner-northern suburbs used to run along the edge of the reserve up until 1948. Inside, this home offers two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, bathroom and study at the rear. Providing added storage space is a deep pantry or linen cupboard adjacent to the kitchen. Leading off from the third bedroom is an enclosed courtyard, with potential to turn into a lovely garden outlook. Period features include a tessellated tile front entry, arched entry hall, high ceilings and ceiling roses. On the west side of the block is a low maintenance rear yard leading to the garage. At the rear of the allotment sits a spacious single garage with an abundance of storage space. Accentuating the appeal of this property is easy ROW access from two laneways.
