This historically significant residence, once the home of the prominent ecclesiastical architect J.B Denny, is a Fitzroy landmark.

Featuring opulent neo-Renaissance two-tier arcades and a return verandah, the immaculately presented 1890s home lies in a commanding corner position. Today, the home offers large-scale family living. It has been substantially enlarged from its modest cottage origins, which were built in around 1862. The home now has a highly flexible floor-plan, with up to four bedrooms, splendidly-proportioned formal sitting, living and dining rooms, a stylish kitchen that opens to the informal living room, four bathrooms, a laundry, utility room and two cellars.

Filled with light and opening to a sunny private courtyard, this magnificent city residence features Baltic floors, ornate cornice work and leadlights, alarm system and quality modern appointments.
