‘Royal Terrace’ c. 1855, 68 Nicholson Street, Fitzroy, VIC 3065

Part of the iconic and heritage-listed ‘Royal Terrace’, a magnificent row of ten Victorian Regency-style triple-storey terrace houses, 68 Nicholson Street offers the rare opportunity to secure a piece of Melbourne’s architectural history. Completely intact, its design is attributed to artist John Gill, and is recognised as the most significant remaining terrace row in Melbourne.⁠ Steeped in character and perfectly positioned on the city fringe, this grand three-level terrace is defined by its timeless elegance and modern liveability.

Behind its stately facade, the ground floor showcases two elegant formal rooms, offering excellent flexibility as extra living, dining, bedroom or dedicated home office space, each with soaring ceilings, ornate fireplaces, and hardwood timber flooring, creating a true sense of period grandeur. Toward the rear, a galley kitchen complete with stainless-steel appliances joins an informal meals area and lounge, where raked ceilings and skylights bathe the space in natural light, illuminating the exposed bluestone walls, ceiling beams, freestanding fireplace, and polished concrete floors.

Upstairs, the first and second levels host four spacious and comfortable bedrooms, including the sprawling primary suite which occupies the entire first level and boasts a luxurious walk-in robe and ensuite, and the remaining three bedrooms on the second level, all serviced by the home’s chic main bathrooms.

Meanwhile outside, a grassy garden and undercover alfresco area invite year-round entertaining, perfectly private thanks to mature screening trees and with secure off-street parking for two cars via Royal Lane’s rear access. Set across from the Carlton Gardens, within minutes of Fitzroy’s renowned cafes and boutiques, and walking distance from the Melbourne CBD, this landmark home delivers lifestyle, legacy, and location in equal measure.
