The former dairy at 40 Scotchmer St, Fitzroy North.
It’s the cream of the Fitzroy North crop: a former dairy turned Art Deco-style house for sale with a $2.5m-$2.7m asking range.
Jellis Craig Fitzroy partner Charles Atkins said the building at 40 Scotchmer St retained period features including a sawtooth roof, clinker brickwork, high ceilings, large steel-framed windows and exposed beams.
“It’s an iconic property for Fitzroy North, and looking at the home you can see it’s unique features,” Mr Atkins said.
“It is rich with history and character given it was once an old dairy, it dates back to 1910.”

According to a Yarra Council 2007 heritage review, the four-bedroom house “is meaningful to the local area as a former retail dairy, now rare in Fitzroy North”.
It was originally known as the Richard Dunell and Sons Dairy and later All Nations Dairy.
Mr Atkins said the former dairy, now transformed into a warehouse-style home, boasts more than 350sq m of living space.
It is set on a corner block and has two street frontages, plus two living areas and two kitchens each with SMEG and Miele gas cookers, Miele dishwashers and stone benchtops.
High ceilings and polished timber floors inside.
It’s located in a one-way, tree-lined street.
There’s two kitchens equipped with SMEG and Miele gas cookers, Miele dishwashers and stone benchtops.
Mr Atkins said the owners of more than 20 years had renovated the kitchens and bathrooms.
The latter include showers, toilets, dual basins and European-style laundries, while the main upstairs bedroom adjoins an ensuite and another room, which could serve as a sunroom or home office.
Mr Atkins said that house’s set-up would work well for a home-based business, or for a buyer who wants to live in one side of the house and rent out the opposite side.
A carport provides off-street parking.
Angled ceilings and high windows in a bed room.
An original sign from the former dairy remains in the home.
The house is on the corner of Scotchmer and Batman streets.
The pad is close to the Batman Street Reserve, St Georges Road tramline, Nicholson St’s cafes and shops, the Edinburgh Gardens and Piedimontes supermarket.
“You’re smack bang in the middle of everything that makes Fitzroy North, Fitzroy North,” Mr Atkins said.
The residence will be auctioned at 1.30pm on Saturday.
