179 Mckean Street, Fitzroy North VIC 3068

Situated on a substantial 945sqm allotment in the prestigious Edinburgh Gardens precinct, this expansive residence embodies a rare blend of scale and character, offering a unique opportunity for renovation or redevelopment (subject to council approval). Meticulously maintained since its construction around 1982 by Grollo Homes, the home prioritises practical family living with multiple defined living spaces on the ground floor, including formal living and dining rooms as well as an informal living area adjoining an open-plan meals and kitchen zone.

The timber-appointed kitchen is both warm and functional, providing generous bench space and ample storage, facilitating daily family interaction and ease. Upstairs, four oversized bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation. The king-sized main suite is notably generous, featuring a sitting area, walk-in robe, and private ensuite. Supporting bedrooms each have built-in robes and direct access from two front bedrooms to a balcony, enhancing indoor-outdoor flow.

A centrally located main bathroom with full-size bath, vanity, and separate shower, complemented by two separate toilets, enhances convenience for family routines. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a covered alfresco entertaining space adjoining the home and a large north-facing garden that extends deeply, framed with established vegetation and landscaping. A rear workshop with right of way access adds practical versatility.

Additional features include a full-size laundry with external access, heating and split-system air-conditioning, raised vegetable gardens, a water tank, an outdoor kitchen, and an extra outdoor toilet, all of which augment both lifestyle and functionality. The property's location offers easy walking access to Edinburgh Gardens, Merri Creek trails, local cafes, restaurants, shops, and public transport options, with tram and train services providing straightforward links to the CBD and other suburbs. Zoned for Clifton Hill Primary and Fitzroy High Schools, this substantial estate is suited to families seeking significant scale in a desirable inner-north enclave.
