166 McKean Street, Fitzroy North

Incredible potential abounds with this grand family home in a prime Fitzroy North position in the same family for over 60 years. Just steps from Queens Parade shops, mere metres from iconic Edinburgh Gardens, and less than 3km from the CBD, this is a rare opportunity to dream big right in inner Melbourne.

The huge corner block offers frontage on both McKean and Delbridge Streets, and 435sqm (approx.) of land. This makes for amazing possibilities for renovation and extension. The home's heritage is well preserved in delightful period details (leadlight, stained glass, decorative cornices), and there’s a true sense of space, with ultra-high 3.6m ceilings throughout.

The residence hosts 4 large bedrooms, study, an expansive kitchen/meals, lounge, bathroom, and storage room. The huge backyard features rear shed/workshop, and a garage with access from Delbridge Street.

The enviable location is situated steps from Queens Parade’s vibrant strip, where the 86 tram runs past cafés, restaurants, and bars. Edinburgh Gardens is a short stroll, and you’re just metres from Darling Gardens and Collingwood Leisure Centre. Convenient Eastern Freeway access makes for easy commutes. Zoned to Clifton Hill Primary School and Fitzroy High School, both of which are but a short walk away.

We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.
