514 Rae St is part of Fitzplace. Originally a cordial factory it latter became a joinery factory before it closed in the late 90’s. Re-developed in 1998 / 2000 Fitzplace represents the best warehouse conversion in the area, 20 premium townhouses surrounding a peaceful courtyard. The Rae St properties are the most versatile townhouses in the area as they have their own street address and drive in garage. Life in 514 is relaxed; this is a “new” dwelling. Gardening is up to you with a small private are behind the home and a balcony. Despite being close to the action of North Fitzroy once you're inside at the end of the day behind the solid brick facade of the original factory the rest of the world feels miles away. The original architects drawings included balconies on the rear upper levels to the courtyard and to the street. The properties that have a Rae St frontage were part of the initial development and were used by the agents as display homes in order to sell the rest of the homes in the development. Because of this the quality of the workmanship and the design is exemplary. Attention to detail in the initial construction phase meant that the Rae St properties have exceptional sound proofing between each other. Even though this is town house living. The neighbor’s presence never intrudes. This is due to the off set beams used in the floors as well as double sealed walls between the homes which stops sound from being transmitted. Originally established as a home with 2 large home offices. The owners have taken care to make the environment as livable and functional as possible. Shelves, built in robes and storage are all key to the design. Continuing this theme the garage is remote operated and there is an intercom system that allows you to communicate to the front entrance and unlock the security door from both upper floors. Rental |

When space and light matter! Surprising spacious, this tri-level residence is part of a well-designed factory conversion at the northern end of Rae Street, one of North Fitzroy's most prized locations. The slate-grey and terracotta facade is pleasingly set off by timber and concrete finishes on the upper levels. Entrance to No 514 is through a security door to a wide timber-floored vestibule, with access to the remote-controlled garage. The ground level contains a study, a large bathroom with laundry facilities, and a bedroom which looks out over the grassy courtyard to the rear. The first floor comprises a surprisingly large open plan living room, with dining and sitting spaces at the eastern and western ends, overlooking the courtyard to the east and a pleasing vista of rooftops to the west. There is a timber floored balcony which overlooks the street. A well-designed kitchen with a Smeg range and ample storage space separates these zones. There are also extensive views from the two large bedrooms on the upper level, both of which have quality built-in wardrobes. The sleeping areas are well separated by a larger than usual tiled bathroom, with separate bath and shower. The location could not be bettered. The Nicholson Street tram and shops are two minutes away in one direction, and St Georges Road and the Edinburgh Gardens are an easy walk or bike ride along the reserve which was once occupied by the railway line. |
