Nelson Alexander Fitzroy agent Rick Daniel said the grand home had turned the heads of families, professional couples and investors as soon as it was listed with a $2.2-$2.42 million price guide.
“It’s in a premier precinct of Fitzroy North, near the Edinburgh Gardens … it’s a very recognisable property in the neighbourhood,” Mr Daniel said.
“The look of the home really changes with the seasons, which is another thing to love about it.”
Contemporary style has been injected into two light-filled living areas and a modern kitchen via a series of minor renovations since the 1990s. Lush rows of vines are above an easy-care outdoor terrace, creating a charming space to entertain.
Multiple first-floor verandas and deep arched windows frame Edinburgh Gardens across the road.
CoreLogic records show the property previously changed hands for $1.012 million in 2006.
The Fitzroy North pad is scheduled for auction on April 4.
