This home, close to the Melbourne CBD, has high ceilings and decorative features from the original house. A modern extension at the rear of the house has been added, as well as a courtyard garden. 

A master bedroom has built-in robes and is semi-ensuited to a bathroom that has plenty of light from the ferny pocket garden and a view from the shower. The second bedroom with built-in robes features landscaped garden views to the front. 

Agent, Roland Paterson, told SCHWARTZWILLIAMS, "We have seen a shift in market demand for premium, high quality architecture and design. Apps such as Pinterest & Houzz, television shows like Grand Designs, have really accelerated buyers' awareness. Fenwick Street features some of the most interesting and appealing architecture I have seen for the quintessential inner city terrace home."

High vaulted ceilings have exposed engineered timber beams and a modern designer kitchen with Miele appliances and integrated fridge. Leading from the living area is an atrium courtyard complete with pond and paved areas, architectural elements. 

Additional features:

• 156 square metres
• Natural light
• Garden views form every room
• Downsizers or a professional retreat

The property is five minutes walk to Clifton Hill station, shops and cafes and 20 minutes to the CBD. The property goes to auction on 18 March at 11am with a price guide of $1,450,000 - $1,500,000.
