Hope House—True Victorian meets Urban Living

In the heart of Fitzroy, this timeless Victorian terrace has some of Melbourne’s popular dining hubs on its doorstep, and is a five-minute stroll to public transport. Culture vultures will be spoilt for choice with Johnston, Brunswick and Gertrude streets offering back-to-back cafes and fashion-forward boutiques. The 1880 dual-level home combines character-rich details with modern amenities and includes a leafy alfresco with BBQ, two bathrooms, and a spacious office for those working remotely.
In one of the city's most in-demand enclaves, just a five-minute walk from Melbourne Museum, Hope House's gorgeous old-world charm is met with contemporary updates while allowing ornate features such as indoor fireplaces, classic iron lacework and rich timber to shine. Meanwhile, a quaint courtyard allows guests to soak up the crisp Melbourne air while making use of the BBQ and alfresco seating.

Staged over two levels, there’s plenty of space for families or groups to spread out. The living room on the ground floor creates a cosy space to relax after a busy day with a central TV, then the hallway leads to a well-equipped kitchen with a six-seater dining table for meals at home; you’ll also find some of the city’s most popular cafes, bars and restaurants within walking distance. The charming first bedroom with a double-size bed is located on this level, as well as the shower room. The downstairs toilet is located outside accessible through the courtyard, meant for those who like to hang out in the garden.

Heading upstairs, you'll find a generous office with a sofa and a proper work desk overlooking the street for those needing to catch up on business. There are two other bedrooms here—the primary bedroom is filled with lovely natural light and set with a sumptuous queen-sized bed, while the kids' bedroom features two single beds. They share a bright and modern full bathroom where you can easily refresh and get ready. Guests will also have access to private laundry facilities, including both a washing machine and dryer.

Free street parking is available using the permit provided.
