145 Westgarth Street, Fitzroy, VIC, 3065

Quietly nestled in a leafy enclave along one of Fitzroy’s most desirable streets, yet steps from its vibrant heart, this gracious double-fronted Edwardian home is being offered for the first time in 30 years. Warm and inviting, character-filled and bathed in natural light, the property reveals generous original proportions, a glorious north aspect and convenient ROW car access. Enviably placed between the lively hubs of Brunswick Street and Smith Street, this much-loved family sanctuary presents a coveted inner city lifestyle and is ready for a new owner to move in and enjoy. Bordered by cobbled laneways on two boundaries, the charming weatherboard façade overlooks lush gardens from its lattice-fringed verandah. Here, a deep entrance hall welcomes with high ceilings, ornate rosettes and polished timber floors that flow into a large front bedroom, or wonderful home office. Nearby are two equally large bedrooms both with expansive built-in robes, serviced by a bright bathroom that has a shower over a bath and separate w/c. Well-defined accommodation includes a spacious living room with a gas fireplace framed by towering bookshelves, while at the back of the home is a marvellous dining zone and neat timber-topped kitchen featuring a St George double oven, dishwasher and good storage. Step outdoors to a private sun-dappled patio set beneath a wisteria-draped pergola – a tranquil haven wrapped in established gardens, ideal for alfresco entertaining with family and friends. In addition, there is a separate laundry, an alarm system, electric heating, decorative wooden mantels, garden storage and off-street parking for one car with secure laneway access. Occupying the ultimate lifestyle location, surrounded by bike paths, this appealing home is placed just a leisurely walk to a plethora of cafes, shops and restaurants, plus city trams, Fitzroy Pool, Edinburgh Gardens and Fitzroy Primary School (zoned), and within easy reach of Melbourne University, major hospitals and the CBD.
