51 Reid Street, Fitzroy North, Vic 3068

This extra-spacious 2-bedroom Victorian is an attractive residence with single-level interior that merges fabulous period character with an open-plan 70’s extension.  It has a wide frontage, secure driveway parking and direct rear laneway access and features a huge north-facing rear terrace. 

Beyond compare to other homes in the area, this exceptional terrace has extraordinary dimensions and presents a rare city-edge opportunity with an elevated Hawthorn brick façade, broad bluestone wall and double-swing automatic gates that open up to a tree-lined driveway including a well-established lemon tree. With sought-after off-street parking, you can securely park a convoy of cars as well as a trailer or boat. 

At the rear there is a substantial undercover area, ideal for entertaining, a tradie’s nirvana or a playtime saviour for young parents.  The layout is traditional at first with an arched hallway on polished floorboards flowing to 2 great-sized bedrooms including high ceiling roses with the main also offering mirrored built-in robes.  The second bedroom includes (secret) underground storage/wine cellar.  

Whitewashed beamed ceilings, a gas fireplace and a flared central arch shift the vibe as a living room swings into a dining room and a well-appointed kitchen.  With so much potential you might choose to do a simple makeover or a stunning architectural transformation.  Other features include a large, oversized bathroom/ laundry area, split-system heating/cooling units, copious ceiling fans and ample storage. 

This highly-prized, city-edge property in a dynamic community-focused location has easy access to North Fitzroy, Nicholson Village and St Georges Road full of lively cafes, bakeries, restaurants, wine bars and local shops, the Edinburgh Gardens, bicycle trails, trams and a selection of quality schools.
