Home Description

Description of the home

A unique living space right in the heart of artistic Fitzroy. Fantastic location, nestled on the corner of Smith and Johnston Street, above a high end fashion design studio and boutique. The dwelling has it’s own private and secure access via the back, through a lush shared courtyard. This tranquil apartment amid the hustle and bustle, is ideal for a creative working professional. It is also well equipped to be used as a semi-commercial, live and work space. I run the fashion boutique downstairs and there is one large street-facing bedroom sharing the house with one housemate who is living in the small, courtyard-facing bedroom.

Originally restored to be used as a photography studio and creative workspace, this character-filled period apartment has been fully refurbished to a high standard and comes partially furnished with vintage and antique furniture. The artful restoration also includes hand crafted feature walls in each room. The fully equipped kitchen comes with a luxury fridge, microwave, gas oven/ stove top and art-deco dining table. Beautiful, light and airy spaces featuring period details – large windows, ornamental fireplaces, skylight in the corridor, polished dark hardwood floors. The dwelling also features a luscious courtyard (shared with the shop), which will be great for outdoor entertaining.

A fabulous and very convenient location, with trams and buses right at your doorstep, 15 min walk to Victoria Park station, 8 mins walk to Fitzroy Pools, and local gyms are all nearby. Aldi right across the street, 5 mins walk to Coles or Woolworths on Smith Street, Short walking distance to all Smith Street and Brunswick Street eateries, shopping and nightlife.
