Nestled securely on the ground floor and positioned as a prized corner residence, Unit 12 offers a rare blend of heritage charm, intelligent design, and everyday practicality within one of Melbourne's most character-filled historic buildings. Rich in history and originally an early 20th-century showroom for fine leather goods, the building has been beautifully repurposed into a boutique residential address that proudly retains its iconic façade and timeless architectural features. Stepping inside, you are immediately welcomed by an open-plan living space enhanced by solid Australian jarrah wood floors and soaring ceilings that evoke classic "Old New York" loft living. Large windows on two sides flood the apartment with natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere rarely found in ground-floor residences. A ceiling fan has been thoughtfully installed to complement the space, ensuring year-round comfort while maintaining the apartment's relaxed, airy feel. The clever use of vertical space is a standout feature, with unique under-unit storage providing an excellent solution to maximise functionality without compromising living areas. This highly practical inclusion allows for seamless organisation and clutter-free living-ideal for owner-occupiers and investors alike. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring modern finishes, ample cabinetry, and quality appliances designed to meet the demands of everyday living. Adjacent to this, the well-appointed bathroom has been tastefully updated with contemporary fixtures and finishes, with the laundry neatly located within the bathroom, offering comfort and convenience in equal measure. Perfectly positioned on vibrant Lonsdale Street in the heart of Melbourne's legal precinct, this versatile property suits a range of lifestyles-whether as a chic city base, a professional office, or a high-performing investment. With universities, courts, Queen Victoria Market, transport links, and moments from cafés and eateries on Hardware Lane, as well as boutiques all close by, the location delivers unbeatable convenience and long-term appeal. With low body corporate fees and strong CBD rental demand continuing to outpace the Melbourne average, Unit 12 represents an exceptional opportunity to secure a character-rich property that balances heritage charm with modern livability and smart investment potential.
