Hidden away at the end of a private laneway is a secret gem. It is central to all the joys on offer in eclectic bohemian Fitzroy. It is amazingly quiet and private; it is hard to believe that you are so close to the city. Fitzroy, being on the edge of the CBD and the first suburb of Melbourne is a wonderful place to live an international cosmopolitan lifestyle. Ideally suit executive couple.

The secret gem is the developers own home. Not a bland unimaginative furnished investment unit but a modern warehouse apartment purposely built and furnished to be the home of the owner and his wife (the artist). Comprising over 2 levels this penthouse has 3 bedrooms, walk in robe and a separate study. Most rooms have views of the city. Two large decks for entertaining and enjoyment. Less than 250 meters to the restaurant/night life of Brunswick St, the shops/cafes of Smith St or the Fitzroy swimming baths, and only 150 meters to the city tram at the end of the street.

This spacious, light and airy penthouse apartment (over 200 m2) sits above the surrounding houses with true panoramic views of Melbourne city.
