Occupying an entire level in one of Melbourne’s most tightly held laneway addresses, the home has been meticulously redesigned and comprehensively renovated to create a truly one-of-a-kind sanctuary, inspired by a refined blend of New York loft living and Melbourne’s celebrated creative edge. Beyond secure lift access opening directly to your own private floor, the interiors reveal soaring 3.5 metre concrete ceilings and polished, sealed concrete floors that honour the building’s industrial origins, while an exceptional suite of custom finishes introduces warmth, sophistication and everyday functionality. The expansive open-plan living and dining domain is beautifully curated for entertaining, where rich textures, dramatic lighting and bespoke joinery evoke the character of a Manhattan warehouse loft. Anchored by a statement leather banquette beneath a striking feature chandelier, bespoke library joinery with rolling ladder, and large-scale windows framing the atmospheric surrounds of famed Hosier Lane, the space is both bold and inviting. A gourmet kitchen is appointed to exacting standards with Lavistone benchtops, Siemens oven and induction cooktop, integrated Smeg refrigeration, integrated Fisher & Paykel dishwasher and custom cabinetry adorned with solid brass hardwware in a bronze finish by Lo & Co Interiors. Privately zoned accommodation is complemented by a designer bathroom of exceptional quality, finished with Lavistone surfaces and enhanced by under-tile heating for year-round comfort. Electric block-out blinds and sheers, together with an industrial-grade heating and cooling system, ensure effortless liveability across all seasons. Residents also enjoy access to a shared rooftop terrace with sweeping panoramic views across Melbourne’s skyline, Treasury Gardens, MCG and beyond—an unforgettable setting to entertain or unwind above the city lights.
