1 Hopetoun Place, FITZROY NORTH VIC 3068

Be prepared to be surprised and delighted! On a vast island site (480 sq.m approx) potentially a site for one or more new dwellings STCA) -- this large residential and studio complex is a microcosm of North Fitzroy history. Built in the 1880s as the livery stables for Thomas Coles Carlton grocery, the site has been variously a fish and rabbit market, joiners premises, and motor repairers workshop. The well-known artist and current owner, Murray Walker, has developed the historic building for three-unit residential and work from home occupancy. The eclectic principal warehouse includes connected studio and living zones under a gabled ceiling, several bedrooms, library space and mezzanines. Apartment 3 features a dramatic long-gallery with mellow Baltic floors, mezzanine and a second living zone; Apartment 2 contains 3-4 bedrooms. Here is a once-in-a decade opportunity to acquire a remarkable historic property or to execute a contemporary grand design.
