Flinders Lane Home Crush: Location

Primely positioned to take in everything the city has to offer, comfort and convenience reign supreme. Tucked away on one of Melbourne’s most iconic laneways, this unique urban retreat seamlessly connects to the vibrancy of its surroundings, whilst its bright, open interiors create the perfect juxtaposition. An enviable array of shops, attractions, bars, and restaurants beckon around the clock with many of the city’s landmark gardens (think Treasury and Botanic) are also just a short stroll away. For the times when you need to venture a little further, you have your pick of public transport with trams, trains, and buses right on your doorstep.

Flinders Lane Home Crush: Look & Feel

Showcasing award-winning design, this character-filled apartment presents inner city living at its finest.

Blending form with function, masterful design cleverly blends plywood joinery with the apartment’s original pinewood to create a seamless transition between the two bedrooms and spacious open-plan living areas. The streamlined kitchen boasts a built-in dishwasher and fridge with a Miele oven and induction cooktop.

Every bit as inviting as the rest, the luxuriously appointed bathroom features terrazzo tiles, an impressively deep bath and shower with gold plated tapware and laundry.

Flinders Lane Home Crush: Features

Built in 1898 during the city’s heyday, the stand-alone ‘Bible House’ boasts just 17 properties, with this award-winning apartment one of its best. Designed by Clare Cousins Architects, the contemporary space is defined by its stately 3.8-metre-high ceilings and large windows on the eastern, northern, and western sides which flood the interiors with all-day sunlight and views through to Collins Street. A mezzanine in the main living space can also double as an extra sleeping area with storage plentiful.

Local Neighbourhood:

Buzzy and cosmopolitan Melbourne CBD offers a treasure trove of arts, dining, and musical entertainment. Towering office buildings jostle for space with high-end designer boutiques, hidden laneway bars and the vibrant colours of Chinatown, while the city’s signature street art gives it a welcome edge. A magical melting pot, there’s a whole lot to do (and love) here.
