Sprawled over two levels and mezzanine, this spacious, impeccably renovated warehouse apartment is the one-of-a-kind home you've been yearning to find. Less than a block from the beach, in one of the area's most iconic and tightly-held factory conversions, it offers a rare mix of enviable location, contemporary comfort and ease, and historic charm. Solid bluestone accent walls, grand high ceilings, original exposed beams, polished floorboards, an open fireplace, and a dramatic custom-built staircase honour the home's industrial past. While a bespoke chef's kitchen with hand-crafted timber benches, feature lighting, Bertazzoni stove and a mix of sleek cabinets and open shelving – plus luxurious Italian style bathrooms, central heating, a substantial below-floor cellar and enviable outdoor space – all marry classic industrial style with up-to-the-minute functionality. The long uninterrupted space of the ground floor flows seamlessly from kitchen, to dining, into the lounge area and through to a north facing outdoor entertaining deck overlooking the old original ovens, now a lush fernery – your own peaceful, green, private retreat. And beyond your back gate, something you'll rarely find in today's space-challenged complexes: expansive communal lawns and gardens, virtually a private park for residents, plus pool, gym, and secure internal parking. Upstairs are two oversized, light-filled bedrooms, the main bedroom with a mezzanine study, French doors onto a balcony and ensuite. Both present graciously with unique floorboards and large built-in robes. The upstairs hallway features a huge lightwell bathing the area in natural light, terrific storage with well-designed cupboards, a second full bathroom with freestanding tub and shower and a built-in laundry. In a perfect location: 200 metres from the Port Melbourne beach, perfect for swimming, walking, biking or watching the Tassie ferry ply her way. A short trip to MSAC, Albert Park Lake or a 15 minute tram ride directly into the CBD or simply living local and enjoying bustling Bay Street's multi-cultural restaurants, bars, boutiques and shops only five minutes away.
