24-26 Taplin Street, Fitzroy North, Vic 3068

More wow-house than warehouse, this reimagined 5 bedroom and study conversion is a vast and versatile light-filled home quietly set on 232sqm approx. between Fitzroy North Village and parkland. Soaring ceilings, whitewashed brickwork and industrial windows frame a creatively converted interior of epic proportions that coupled with hydronic heating and commercial-grade cooling make this expansive single-level warehouse a modern wow-factor haven. Peaceful and private street frontage with a crossover for possible off-street parking introduces the high vine-covered wall entrance to this amazing double-brick home where a large sun-drenched courtyard with raised garden beds is an idyllic place to relax and entertain. Cross the threshold and take a breath as a huge living area with sliding doors to the garden flows to a superb kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and long island breakfast bench before a distinct dining area on eco-friendly timber flooring. Set serenely to the side is a dedicated study/office while each of the 5 bedrooms with ceiling fans and new carpet are substantial and secluded. Complemented by 2 stylish bathrooms, a total of 3 toilets, a laundry and extensive roof storage plus a rear security laneway entry, this fully-insulated residence with its New York loft inspiration is perfect for a range of lifestyle scenarios from a family and downsizers to a work from home business/practice. A rare lifestyle opportunity in the heart of Fitzroy North within easy walking distance to nearby cafes, restaurants, shops, Piedimonte’s supermarket, primary/secondary schools, Deutsche Schule, trams, Rushall train station, Edinburgh Gardens and walking/cycle trails.
