This wonderful light filled terrace home is perfect as an inner city pied-a-terre. Located steps from the artistic hub of Gertrude Street, this property caters ideally to those who enjoy being walking distance to the city, however revel in the community feel of a local high street with great cafes and shops.
The home boasts beautifully styled, designer interiors, with exposed brick, warm textiles and modern appliances. The main mezzanine style bedroom offers a comfortable queen size bed plus a daybed in the study area for additional sleeping space or a spot to relax with a book.
This wonderful pad also offers a sleek kitchen with bifold doors opening onto a private courtyard, providing an airy space to enjoy a glass of wine or al fresco dinner.
Fitzroy is known locally as home to Melbourne’s hipster community, with the attraction of Brunswick Street as an institution for cool cocktail bars, fashion stores and excellent vegetarian and mixed cuisine. Nearby Smith Street is home to excellent thrift stores, pubs and fine gelati, as recommendations. Gertrude street, which links the two main streets in the neighbourhood, is known to locals as one of Melbourne’s most eclectic artistic communities. The strip offers a wonderful collection of some of the finest local fashion designers, homewares, galleries and cafes to explore.
Beautiful unit, designed well, as advertised. In a great location.

JacobClose to CBD
I stayed at this property for ~2 months after only booking an initial 2 weeks -- so that in and of itself should say something about how sweet the house is. Working in the CBD, I was able to walk to work through the park in the mornings in ~15 minutes, and at night or on a rainy day could take the bus home in ~5 minutes. How awesome is that? Also, it sits right along the major tram routes on Brunswick and Victoria Parade, so other commuters into the city (or explorers using pubic transport) should be very-well situated from a transport perspective. In terms of nightlife and restaurants, Fitzroy is hard to beat. While not in the "heart" of Fitzroy, this property is only a 5 minute walk to the more "core" areas along Brunswick and Smith. I really enjoyed that my street was super quiet and pretty, but close to the nightlife when I did want to go out. Finally, I was here in Melbourne in winter so could not really take advantage, but the backyard at this property is really cool. Though small, it is well kept and the whole back glass wall of the first floor of the apartment is a sliding door so that the full living room almost turns into an outdoor patio.

JacobSecond Long-term Stay and still Perfect
This was my second long-term stay at the property -- another full month at this Fitzroy gem. I feel like that speaks enough to how awesome this property is.
