History, position, potential!
This handsome double-fronted Victorian residence in a commanding position in leafy George Street is thought to have been the residence and consulting rooms of one of Fitzroy's early doctors. Its appearance is deceptive, because the second storey is set back from the street rather than conforming to the balcony or flat-front façade designs common to most double-storey terraces in the area.
Entry is from a verandah protected by tall iron railings. The front door opens into a wide and decorative arched hallway, flanked by two spacious bedrooms retaining fine plaster cornices and ceiling roses. A staircase to the left ascends to two further bedrooms, flooded with natural light - the larger of these has been used as a studio by the present occupant.
On the ground floor, a spacious living room with open fireplace and other period detail is across the hall from a very large kitchen and dining area. This opens into the bathroom, which includes a concealed laundry. Doors in this rear section give access to a sunny north-facing courtyard, complete with mature palm tree.
This well-presented property, sound and liveable in its present condition, offers exciting potential for further renovation in this desirable location, a few minutes walk to the cafes and boutiques of Gertrude, Brunswick and Smith Streets.
