An Enticing Blend Of House And Warehouse!!
Tucked away in European style mews that strikes a balance between active building frontages and a private laneway with a courtyard feel is the discrete entry to "The Barley Store", a vertical three-bedroom, two-bathroom house cleverly within a warehouse.
A stunning transformation has converted this 160-year-old former distillery into a landmark city-fringe precinct. Just a short stroll to cafes, restaurants, art galleries, trams, the Fitzroy Gardens and Smith Street, voted the coolest street in the world in June 2021, it's the perfect hideaway in the middle of it all. The very best of Collingwood is at your doorstep.
Timber floors, exposed brick, steel beams, timber-lined ceilings, and arched windows respect the legacy of the original spaces, while a team of architects and artisan tradespeople have adapted it for the demands of contemporary living and lifestyle.
Across four surprisingly spacious levels, it now introduces open plan living anchored by a stone finished Smeg equipped soft close kitchen with a breakfast bench under handcrafted chandeliers from Murano, a generous lounge dining, and three bedrooms. Two share a luxurious floor to ceiling tiled stone finished bathroom on their own level, while the main enjoys the deserved luxury of its own level. Served by an equally sumptuous ensuite and bespoke built-in wardrobes, it enjoys access to a parental retreat. Opening to a rooftop deck with an outlook to the Dandenong's, it creates an indulgent 5-star hotel feel every time you head upstairs.
Hydronic heating, multiple split system units, garage accessed via a remote door from a rear laneway, extra parking on title, cleverly integrated storage solutions, NBN connection, Vintec wine fridge, security cameras, and alarm enhance a premium lifestyle package.
An exciting bonus is flexible zoning allowing for a mix of commercial and residential uses. (STCA) This is a family home like no other!
