5 Hotham Street, South Melbourne

Subscribe to regular market updates. An architectural triumph by the acclaimed Nicholas Murray, this multi-level residence is an extraordinary expression of inner-city living, hidden within a discreet lane steps from the South Melbourne Market. Unmatched in its position and material depth, its industrial-esque façade reveals little of the series of light-filled spaces within, encompassing a private garage and a spectacular layout that captures the essence of contemporary design. Here, walls of full-height glass embrace the living areas across three sides, creating the impression of a floating ceiling above the vaulted, blonde-plywood expanse. Polished concrete and corten steel surfaces add tactile warmth against the clean architectural lines, complemented by a wood-burning fireplace and an expansive al-fresco terrace that feels both private and immersed in the city’s pulse. The sleek stone kitchen, appointed with AEG and Liebherr appliances, sits alongside custom joinery that extends through the living space, capturing endless views that stretch toward the skyline on one side. The ground floor offers remarkable flexibility, featuring a street-front office, guest bedroom/lounge, and powder room, which create the perfect base for an at-home business or accommodating visiting guests. Above, two additional bedrooms each feature built-in robes, with the main suite offering an indulgent open en-suite layout, with a deep bath, dual vanity, and access to a tranquil courtyard terrace. Features include a European laundry, abundant concealed storage, hydronic heating, hydronic heated towel rails, ducted air conditioning, ducted vacuum, ceiling fans, a motorised dumbwaiter, motorised external louvre blinds, keypad entry, and a remote-controlled double garage via Francis Street. Positioned moments from Clarendon Street dining, Crown Entertainment Precinct, Albert Park Lake, and the CBD, this is a residence without compromise, in one of Melbourne’s most dynamic urban settings.
