Now this puts the 'house' in warehouse conversion. Set across three generous levels, this upscale loft in the iconic Foy and Gibson precinct has house-like proportions, just a block from a premium selection of bars, eateries, boutique stores and transport options along the 'World's Coolest Street' - Smith Street.
With a distinct New York vibe anchored by a spectacular feature staircase, this one-off architect-designed fitout has wow-factor and functionality in equal parts. Boasting vaulted ceilings with stunning exposed beams, a clever tempered glass floor/skylight and zoned open plan living, it's bathed in sunshine being one of just two in the building with street frontage.
With a living area on every level for entertaining or quiet respite plus an alfresco area, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment (with a bath/double shower respectively) offers the inner north experience with a healthy dose of inner peace. For the fashion lover there's a huge dressing room. And for the avid reader, a library. While the flexible floorplan could easily be tailored to a third bedroom or mezzanine if desired.
This substantial, unrepeatable property presents a unique opportunity to add your chapter to the storied history of this building. Features include:
- Spacious split-level living zone with sunken dining space takes centre stage, showcasing architectural skylights and an EcoSmart ethanol fireplace.
