324 Young Street, Fitzroy VIC 3065

Filled with natural light and situated in one of Fitzroy's most desirable locations, this red brick converted warehouse offers the best of luxurious comfort and inner-city lifestyle. With three levels of quality urban living, clever design, and a lush green private courtyard, this is a rare opportunity to own a quintessential piece of real estate in coveted Fitzroy. The tri-level converted warehouse dates back to 1880, when it was occupied by iron founders Randall Thomas & Co who made cast iron ornamental lace and columns for Melbourne's Victorian-era houses. A massive cast iron column in the courtyard, a century-old chimney and the home's authentic red brick facade are gentle reminders of its fascinating history. A welcoming entry opens to a hallway of Tasmanian oak floorboards. Past a central stairway that leads to the upper levels, you find a spacious bedroom with windows spanning the width of the room looking out on a high-walled private courtyard. While a gorgeous bright bedroom, this would also make a perfect roomy office to work from home. Level one features double-glazed floor-to-ceiling windows with Warwick sheer curtains, new quality carpet and a glowing gas log fire that's located in the centre of a wall of superb custom-built cabinetry. Award-winning kitchen design company Smith & Smith designed and built the kitchen. Featuring stone benchtops, a large porcelain sink, Italian handmade tiles and polished Tasmanian oak floorboards, there's also built-in banquette seating covered in Warwick fabric, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and a top of the range Smeg Victoria cooker with a double oven. Professional design and craftsmanship make this exceptional kitchen a chef's delight. A floor-to-ceiling, full-width, double-glazed industrial panel window opens through a door onto a sunny balcony overlooking the street, along with a nice view of the CBD. The laundry and level one bathroom have brushed nickel tapware, a stone benchtop and beautiful sand-washed porcelain tiles. Two more air-conditioned bedrooms occupy level two with a large light-filled second bathroom that features a walk-in shower with dual showerheads and floor-to-ceiling tiles. There's a secure remote-controlled garage with storage, and you're just moments from Brunswick Street, renowned for its cafes, restaurants and cosmopolitan shopping. Smith Street is a short walk, along with Edinburgh and Carlton gardens. CBD-bound trams and buses are located just a block away or, if you'd rather walk, it's a leisurely stroll into the CBD. Thinking about staying at home? No worries. The renowned Lune Croissanterie is just steps away.
