7 King St, Fitzroy North will go to auction later this month.


A re-imagining of an Art Deco house in Fitzroy North fusing its original characteristics with modern charm may intrigue buyers with its sub $2m-price tag.

Airy spaces and natural light define the semi-detached home’s interiors with features from Tasmanian oak floors to automated blinds and Phoenix tapware emphasising the high-end finishes.

One lucky buyer will enjoy 7 King St Fitzroy North’s central lounge, a focal point of the house where a decorative feature is retained on the 3.1m ceiling above an electric fire.

It leads to another open area encompassing a dining space and an Italian ILVE-equipped kitchen that connects through sliding glass to an outdoor patio.

Striking tundra grey marble is present throughout the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry, characterised by clouded greys, frosted creams and gunmetal shades; these premium finishes will no doubt be a talking point for friends and family.

Jellis Craig Northern Brunswick agent Elizabeth Kelly says vendors usually remove Art Deco features and decide on an ultra-modern design when renovating.

“It has a perfect mix of classic Art Deco and modern design – I love how they have kept the original Art Deco features on the ceilings,” Ms Kelly says.

“It’s basically a move-in ready home – the quality is sensational; it’s very low-maintenance for buyers.

“The key groups of interested buyers have been downsizers, couples aged 35-45 with no children and empty nesters.”

Upstairs is a large main bedroom featuring a chic ensuite and a study nook.

The other two large bedrooms share the bathroom on the ground floor, which are also perfect for guests or family staying over.

The property also has an integrated irrigation system, security, video intercom and year-round comfort with ducted heating and refrigerated cooling.

Merri Creek reserve, schools, trains and trams to the city, and many food options around Nicholson St make this masterpiece the perfect place to call home.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom property has a $1.8m-$1.95m price guide, and is set to go under the hammer on August 17.
