55 Barkly Street

A revered Fitzroy North neighbourhood zoned to Northcote High School provides the perfect setting for this glamorous Victorian home where contemporary quality and extended versatility combine to deliver a refined lifestyle of family proportions. Introduced by an eternally-attractive facade, the home's interior is surprisingly spacious thanks to its architect-designed double-storey extension where four generous bedrooms (large master with WIR) are all serviced by two stylish bathrooms main with freestanding tub. Central to the home is its full-width lounge which flows through to the light-filled open living/dining area featuring polished concrete floors and custom steel doors and windows accompanied by a stone-top kitchen complete with 900mm cooking appliances and Bosch dishwasher. Ducted heating, split-system air conditioning (both levels), towering ceilings and solid timber floors all add to the appeal, along with stylish plantation shutters, European laundry facilities and handy attic storage space. Complementing the home's impressive interior is a sizeable north-facing backyard where extensive paving, established gardens and high fences for privacy create an idyllic space to relax or entertain, plus direct access to the rear ROW. A short stroll to Nicholson Street trams along with popular cafes, bars and restaurants, it's also close to East Brunswick Village shops, Inner-Circle Rail Trail and local schools (zoned to Merri Creek PS and Northcote HS), as well as easy access to Rushall Station.
