45 Fitzgerald Street
South Yarra

An impressively large and character-filled Victorian treasure, this circa 1871, solid Hawthorn brick residence presents a flexible five bedroom floorplan in what is arguably one of the area’s most coveted and tranquil cul de sac settings, just metres from Chapel Street. With a second kitchen and multiple independent entry points, this is an exquisitely detailed home suited to multiple lifestyle scenarios that include multi-generational living, adult children still living at home and all manner of home officing.

Complemented by manicured gardens, the home creates an almost regal street presence and opens to reveal a traditional, double arched hallway, all under soaring ceilings of perfect detail and with Baltic Pine underfoot. Effortlessly, the home flows past a pair of grandly scaled bedrooms, as well as formal dining and a lounge – each with ornate showpiece fireplaces – to a French-inspired kitchen. Arranged around a vast island of polished timber and with a double Lacanche oven, the kitchen extends outdoors to the sun-drawing joy of a paved, north-facing courtyard that is an idyllic backdrop to your home entertaining.

Potentially accessed independently as its own wing, another of the home’s bedrooms is zoned next to a large study / home office, a contemporary kitchen and a bathroom, making the wing well suited to in-law accommodation or some sort of home office. Meanwhile, another pair of bedrooms are set upstairs conveniently adjacent to an impressive bathroom and another living room, all of which is also accessed independently, if needed.

Additional highlights of this unique offering include, a fully secure rear double carport with a workshop, as well as secure parking for a third vehicle at the front of the home, plus there is hydronic heating, reverse cycle heating and air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout.

Merely metres from all the sass and sophistication of Chapel Street, yet with no through traffic, this is a tranquil sanctuary within walking distance of some of Melbourne’s most iconic café culture, fine dining, bars, nightlife and boutique shopping both on Chapel Street and Toorak Road, plus you have Prahran Market just around the corner, multiple tram routes and trains from South Yarra Railway Station.
