Overview

Welcome to Number 1 - Vibrant Living in a Classic Façade

This is Unit 1 at 408 Latrobe Street, in the historic Empire Apartments Building – a studio that blends timeless heritage character with modern style. Originally built in 1928, this Art Deco treasure sits amongst a pocket of vintage buildings, including the former Royal Mint (1872). Nestled in a boutique low-rise building in the vibrant city core, this renovated approx. 38 sqm studio offers an exceptional opportunity for owner-occupiers and investors. The new kitchen contrasts classic dark cabinetry with gold details, complemented with a white stone bench top, vibrant Italian tiles, new oven, cooktop and range. High ceilings and Art Deco detailing on the cornices and architraves create an elegant, spacious atmosphere. There is a generously proportioned living area, which can accommodate a bed, bedside table, TV unit, work from home space and a dining table, complemented by spacious full-height built-in robes. Brand new carpets provide a luxurious feel. In the bathroom there is a large vanity with mirror, storage cupboard, bath and shower and space for a washing machine. There is space in the kitchen for a fridge and dishwasher. Character flows throughout the building, from the grand timber and wrought-iron staircase to the elegant lobby evoking a timeless sense of nostalgia. With a community largely made up of owner-occupiers and long-term residents, the building offers a quiet, well-maintained environment. When it comes to location, it's hard to beat: just a 2 minute walk to Flagstaff Station and the tranquil Flagstaff Gardens, and moments from Woolworths Metro, Queen Victoria Market, and a vibrant array of cafes and eateries, urban living at its most effortless. Unit 1 has been thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living, while preserving its architectural charm.
