1. Church-Turned-Loft Hits Fitzroy Market; Wants High $2 Mils

    A unique church-turned-house in the uber-trendy Fitzroy has hit the market in the past week and is clearly the most expensive property currently on the market in Melbourne’s own hipster-ville. Fitzroyalty will be proud that many period detailing remains from the various incarnations of the bluestone and plaster 1860 structure, and it’s not surprising that the transformation of the church has been featured on several blogs already. The three bedroom home (with one very large master suite) comes with a very rare 6-car garage in the rear.

    The property is cross-listed with RT Edgar Toorak (agents Sarah Case and Warwick Anderson) and Nelson Alexander Fitzroy (agents Rick Daniel and Arch Staver), potentially revealing the owner’s strategy to capture the attention of both Toorak/South Yarra buyer and a Northern ‘burbs buyer. Unfortunately for the hipsters apart of the Fitzroyalty, the asking price in the high-$2mils means that most are priced out. 

    278 Gore Street, Fitzroy
