159 Leicester Street, FITZROY VIC 3065

Constructed within the shell of a former water filtration factory, this superbly designed residence, zoned over several levels, offers secluded living just minutes from Brunswick and Smith Street cafes and shopping. Set behind a handsome iron grille, double doors open to a wide lobby, which leads to an expansive ground floor living space, comprising a large sitting room or work-from-home space, three double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a porcelain-tiled bathroom and separate powder room. A door to the rear accesses the double remote garage, with a stair to the upper level deck. The central level houses a superbly proportioned Great Room living and dining area, open on one side to a smart timber-finished kitchen (with 5-burner range, pantries and reconstituted stone benchtops), and flowing through a wall of north-facing glass to a huge entertaining deck with mains-connected gas BBQ and stainless steel benchtops. Mellow brick walls, here and elsewhere in the house, testify to the buildings industrial origins, and provide a pleasing contrast to the sleek interior finishes. The southern end of the living room leads to a full-size laundry/utility room and a powder room. A metal staircase ascends to a sunlit study with Fitzroy and CBD views, and to the vast main bedroom, with luxurious ensuite spa bathroom, walk-in wardrobe, and private balcony.

Designed to maximise views and airflows, this exceptional city haven features hydronic heating and air conditioning, polished stringybark and concrete floors, double glazing, video security and cabling systems. For Further Information please visit: www.159leicesterst.com.
