LISTING DESCRIPTION
as of June 2010

Bold contemporary lines A stunning contemporary residence, constructed by a design engineer, to optimise light and space, lies beyond the parapet façade of this former Victorian terrace. Located at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac, the house is entered by two sets of French doors opening to a north-facing courtyard, planned for year-round entertaining. Separated by an elevated Ecosmart fireplace, the high-ceilinged living and dining zones are open to an elegant bespoke kitchen, fitted with 5-burner Italian stainless steel range and extensive storage. To the side of the glassed gallery which runs to the rear is a landscaped light court. Opening from the gallery are an elegant bathroom with separate bath and shower and an understair study. A light-filled bedroom overlooks the paved courtyard and concealed laundry. Car access from the right of way is via a custom-built vertical lift door.A 'floating' staircase with recycled jarrah treads ascends to the first floor, where banks of metal-framed windows draw streams of light. The upstairs rooms have gracefully angled ceilings: the bedroom to the front gives pleasing rooftop views to two sides; the large bedroom to the rear has a full wall of glass looking down over the courtyard. A second bathroom has a pebbled floor and a large porthole window.Every inch of space has been used to maximum effect. Generous storage spaces throughout include a huge attic above the original part of the house. With reverse-cycle airconditioning to both levels and state of the art alarm system, this remarkable property features internationally sourced fittings and superbly crafted interior and external detail. The address is one of North Fitzroy's best-kept secrets - quiet and secluded, but within a few minutes walk of the Edinburgh Gardens, Queen's Parade shopping and public transport.Agent: Nelson Alexander Pty Ltd
