Fitzroy's former Independent Hall converted and listed

The Independent Hall, a former church hall in Melbourne's Fitzroy, has hit the market as a home, listed by the Alexander family.

The iconic 1880s property has previously also been Aboriginal kindergarten. It has been the setting for several television productions such as Jack Irish, Ricky & Pete and The Tenderhook.

It has been renovated for family and work-from-home living since it last traded for $563,000 in 2001.

Its previous owners include the late Australian composer Peter Tahourdin.

Comrpising two bedrooms and a home office, the eclectic property features an expansive living and dining room with beamed ceilings and French doors that open to a deep brick-paved courtyard.

Nelson Alexander agents Rick Daniel and Luke Chisholm have a $1.9 million to $2 million price guide for its March 24 auction.
