80 Webb Street, Fitzroy, Vic 3065

Reminiscent of old-world Melbourne and retaining many of its heritage features, this well-preserved Victorian workers’ cottage is brimming with period charm, sure to enchant those seeking a characterful, city-fringe home. Built in 1852, the land on which 80 Webb St resides was originally subdivided from the ‘Gore Estate’, the family for whom Fitzroy’s Gore Street is now named. A significant symbol of the time, the bluestone cottage paints a picture of Melbourne at the time of Victoria’s renowned gold rush.

Move-in ready yet full of potential for future enhancement (STCA), this hidden gem is sure to impress, located minutes from city-bound transport and the increasingly popular Gertrude, Smith and Brunswick St precincts, and walking distance from the scenic Carlton and Fitzroy Gardens.

Just off the beaten path, this promising prospect is heralded by its dramatic bluestone façade, greeting guests upon entry with 2 bright and airy bedrooms enhanced by soaring ceilings and cleverly zoned to the front of the home for privacy. Through the decorative archway of the central corridor, the heart of the home comprises an open plan living/dining area that features an open fireplace, bold bluestone walls, and a central skylight that combines with the rear windows to fill the home with natural light.

Towards the rear of the property, the quaint timber kitchen includes ample cupboard space, while the tidy bathroom houses a shower, timber vanity and storage cupboard. Not done there, the property also boasts Euro laundry, and a generous courtyard garden with ROW access via Little Gore Street.

Regardless of your plans, this exclusive piece of real estate is sure to benefit from the area's amenities, close to premium eateries and bars, transport, and parklands.
