8 Freeman Street, Fitzroy North, Vic 3068

Brilliant natural light and extra space combine throughout this single-level terrace with a large rear courtyard in a quiet inner-city pocket close to cafe and parkland precincts. Ideally located with a decorative period profile on a wide treelined street, this outstanding end terrace is brighter and bigger than similar opportunities coupled with a spacious backyard garden including handy rear access. A lucky discovery for those wanting more, 8 Freeman Street is a Fitzroy North beauty where clever expansion coaxes extra light into an oversized interior merging classical character and modern comfort. Introduced by an arched hallway with a high ceiling, the layout instantly impresses with 2 huge bedrooms including a north-facing main with built-in robes, Nobo heating and an open fireplace. A larger and lighter than expected living room, also with a fireplace, leads to a similarly inspiring dining area with stylish flooring that adjoins an updated kitchen including ample storage, gas stove and dishwasher. Separate are a smart bathroom and a laundry, with a wide passageway flowing directly out to a delightful courtyard garden paved for entertaining amidst layers of leafy greenery that features additional on-title land for easy pedestrian/bike access. Also offers split-system heating and cooling. Totally uplifting with its extra light and space, this captivating home is enviably situated only minutes to the city near Brunswick and Nicholson Streets’ cafes and shopping, Edinburgh Gardens, Rathdowne Village, Curtain Square, trams, schools and Melbourne University.
