Embodying the creative spirit and sophistication of its prized city-fringe location, this spectacular warehouse residence offers peaceful privacy and an intelligent layout spanning 3 sensational levels.
Set behind the red-brick c1918 façade of the original Ackman's building-reimagined by Nicholas Murray Architects. It celebrates innovative design and contemporary spaces with an industrial edge, with raw textures and soaring ceilings crowned by a dramatic glass atrium that floods every level with natural light.
The luminous entrance atrium introduces the ground floor, where 2 robed bedrooms rest beneath lofty ceilings alongside a central bathroom appointed with large-format tiles, a hydronic heated towel rail, and a cantilevered vanity. A streamlined study completes the level, finished in deep chocolate-hued timber flooring, and appointed with built-in shelving and a stone-topped desk.
On the 1st floor, an entertainer's domain unfolds. The commercial-style kitchen is a statement in stainless steel, anchored by a centre-piece island with double sink, 900mm SMEG cooking, an integrated fridge and freezer, Westinghouse dishwasher, integrated stainless steel drawers, and an expansive preparation bench that runs the length of the workspace.
Original/reclaimed timber flooring flows into the dining and living area, where a light-filled corner aspect connects seamlessly to the kitchen. A substantial fireplace, integrated stone-topped sideboard/storage, an industrial chrome fan, and the interplay of soaring ceilings with concrete finishes amplify the warehouse character.
The main bedroom suite is generously scaled and light-filled, featuring blackout blinds, a massive galley-style walk-through robe, and a striking ensuite with an inset, floor-level bath, heated towel rail, and a distinctive walk-through double shower oriented to the glass atrium. A powder room enhances everyday amenity on this level.
Above, a private rooftop deck delivers dramatic city views and superb entertaining credentials, complemented by a kitchenette and wet bar with stainless-steel sink and benchtop.
Set behind automatic double roller doors plus a security door, the property includes a double garage with direct internal access, painted floor, and car lift to accommodate 4 cars. There's also hydronic heating throughout, split systems to the bedrooms, evaporative cooling, and under-stair storage rooms.
The setting is whisper-quiet yet brilliantly central-moments from Smith, Brunswick, and Gertrude Street cafés, pubs, restaurants, shops, supermarkets, and tram connections, and close to schools. A warehouse residence that seamlessly pairs historic presence with modern polish in a blue-chip Fitzroy locale.
