42 Rae Street, Fitzroy North, Vic 3068

Setting a new benchmark for modern living, this stunning home offers relaxed luxury, sophisticated style, and practical functionality in spades. Completely turnkey, every inch of this property, expertly renovated by Architecture Architecture, whispers elegant, thoughtful design, while the coveted location is steps from the Brunswick Street tram and entertainment district, and minutes’ walk from the local Fitzroy North Village and idyllic Edinburgh Gardens.

Beyond the charmingly restored front, you'll find the cozy formal living area or optional third bedroom with wood-burning fireplace, before reaching the inviting heart of the home. Anchored by rich timber floors that meld seamlessly with the external deck, the kitchen/dining and living space showcases custom joinery cabinets and seating, premium integrated appliances including Fisher and Paykel fridge and Smeg induction cooktop, a statement-making, waterfall island bench, built-in blackbutt dining table, and concealed TV. Joining the brick-paved courtyard through a full-height glass pivot door, the entire space provides for effortless entertaining, also offering on-title laneway access to York Street.

The inviting atmosphere continues upstairs, where two spacious bedrooms with bespoke built-in robes, including the primary with private balcony and exposed brick fireplace, are serviced by the stunning central bathroom, complete with walk-in shower, separate tub, large floating vanity with storage, and electric-opening skylight. In addition, a dedicated study space offers welcome flexibility as a separate retreat, or maybe another bedroom with the simple inclusion of a wall.

For ultimate ease, added features include underfloor heating and panel heaters downstairs, ducted heating and cooling and ceiling fans upstairs, a wealth of storage options including outdoor shed, and exceptionally high ceilings throughout, enhancing the sense of space.
