Unique warehouse conversion with rooftop entertaining

This one-of-a-kind warehouse conversion, originally a tool factory and now a breathtaking tri-level residence captures the essence of inner-city sophistication. Hidden down a tranquil laneway, the home opens to reveal an interior that exudes a distinctive New York loft vibe that is both striking and inviting. The ground floor introduces a flexible front room that effortlessly transitions between a bedroom, a vibrant home office, or a sitting room, enhanced by a mezzanine level adding depth and character. Beyond, the dining area merges with a state-of-the-art chef's kitchen, creating an enviable environment for cooking enthusiasts. Outfitted with Corian benchtops, a 90cm Bosch oven, a six-burner cooktop, walk-in pantry, and a double-drawer dishwasher, this gourmet haven is primed for gastronomic masterpieces and social gatherings. The architectural floating timber staircase leads to the first floor, where the light-filled living room captivates with expansive picture windows. This level is completed with a bedroom offering semi-ensuite access to a bathroom shared with another bedroom. Ascend further to the private sanctuary of the main bedroom, occupying its own floor and enhanced by a vibrantly tiled bathroom in bold blue hues, featuring a shower-over-bath setup. Above it all, a rooftop terrace promises sun-soaked brunches or starlit parties surrounded by panoramic district vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see. Additional amenities include a laundry, a guest powder room, split-system air conditioning, panel heating, substantial built-in storage, and a car space. The ground floor's polished concrete-style tiles perfectly accentuate the industrial chic aesthetic. Located just moments from trams, Balaclava Station, and the vibrant dining and shopping districts of Acland, Chapel, and Carlisle Streets, the location combines serenity with the best of urban convenience. If you're ready to make a bold move, this unique home awaits your arrival.
