Part of inner west’s industrial landscape while adapted for the modern day, this first-class conversion of a former sewing machine factory blends space, substance, flair and function to be one of the most exciting lifestyle prospects Seddon has seen for some time.
Refined and relaxing while true to the site’s heritage, the home strikes a stellar balance between warehouse chic and cutting-edge comfort, rising from a quiet ground level to an upper entertainer’s suite and mezzanine study brilliant for today’s professional. Airiness, scale and occasion are all enhanced by sun streaming through a central lightwell, oversized feature windows and clerestory glass atop a soaring, raked ceiling, with the warm tones of exposed-brick walls and solid timber floors adding to an ambiance of style and sophistication.
With accommodation kept distinct from main spaces, two ground-floor bedrooms are capably served by extensive robe space and a stylish bathroom with a bathtub and separate WC, while above, broad living and dining areas sit either side of a gourmet kitchen with upscale appliances. French doors turn the abode into a haven for indoor-outdoor hospitality, revealing an open-air terrace perfect for a barbecue, sunrise coffee or late-night drink after sampling local restaurants.
The option is present to use the mezzanine study as a third bedroom, while a long list of other highlights includes electric heaters, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, a first-floor powder room, European laundry, courtyard with a shed and oversized garage.
Why you’ll love this location:
Surrounded by small and large green open spaces, Seddon’s heart is home to locals’ favourites like The Brotherhood for first-rate Greek cuisine, the Mona Castle Hotel for after-work drinks and nightly specials, various coffee spots and bakeries, popular grocers and countless amenities besides, with the Market and Sun Theatre headlining the array of attractions across Footscray and Yarraville.
With the new West Gate Tunnel taking trucks away from Buckley Street to mean the position is as quiet as it is vibrant, three separate train stations and the brand-new Dixon Veloway mean commutes into town are as easy as could be, while everything from Highpoint shops to the new Footscray Hospital, Victoria University, Maribyrnong River trails, childcare centres and acclaimed schools in Footscray City Primary, Footscray High (both zoned) and St Augustine’s Primary sits close by.
