With a colourful history as a knitting mill factory, the building is steeped in heritage, and this third-floor apartment also has the virtually unheard of advantage of two private outdoor spaces. Boasting strong exposed structural detail throughout, the apartment is blessed with floor-to-ceiling industrial windows, which face South Yarra and are best appreciated from the apartment’s open plan living areas. With one car park, as well as a storage cage, secure intercom entry, panel heating and split-system heating/cooling, it is comfortable as well as practical.
With polished timber floors throughout, the apartment opens to high ceilings that flow into an open plan family and dining area, adjoining the kitchen. With stainless steel benches, mobile island bench and Smeg appliances, the kitchen faces a balcony through a huge picture window, while the living room just beyond offers a peaceful sitting area and adjoining louvred study, or a flexible third bedroom. Both bedrooms are bright and contain built-in robes, and one opens to a tranquil courtyard, perfect for reading a book. The bathroom has a handy Euro laundry and long stone shelf, while there’s more storage in the hallway nearby.
Located in a quiet part of this thriving, urban neighbourhood, and so close to the MCG, trams, train, Swan Street and the CBD, you’ll love living in this slice of historical life.
