Seclusion and distinction describe this clever, brand-new warehouse-style home nestled into one of Kensington’s most sought-after pockets – a stone’s throw away from cafes, shops and the train station. Reclaimed solid-wood beams, exposed brickwork, vintage fixtures and tasteful, bespoke design merge to create a Modernist sanctuary infused with industrial flair.

Enter through the secure custom-made iron gate to a gorgeous Tasmanian-oak staircase, polished concrete floors, exposed industrial steel elements and timber sliding door to huge lock-up garage and laundry with an abundance of storage. The thoughtful layout and attention to detail continues through to the beautiful mosaic-tiled bathroom with full-sized bath and plenty of cupboard space. An extra-large master bedroom and bonus, additional study alcove look out onto an exquisite, private courtyard.

Upstairs, be impressed by the soaring ceiling and open-plan living space drenched in northern sunlight, opening out onto an entertainer’s balcony with views over the Kensington rooftops and glimpses of the city. The retro-inspired kitchen boasts European appliances, induction hotplate, pantry and integrated fridge storage. A magnificent, bespoke sliding door invites you into the second, light-filled bedroom with built-in robes, which continues the industrial charm and Modernist aesthetic. A second bathroom with shower and toilet completes this beautifully crafted home.

Extras include reverse-cycle heating and air-con, louvre windows, polished timber floors and full-height doorways. With the CBD less than 3km away and the best of Kensington on your doorstep, this hidden gem is a real find.
