This architecturally striking three-bedroom, two-storey residence sits proudly within YarraBend, Alphington - thoughtfully designed as an extension of the iconic 1937 Wetlap building. The home masterfully blends contemporary living with the site's rich industrial heritage.
Inside, dark timber floors and a red brick kitchen splashback pay homage to the original structure, while 2.7m ceilings in the living area enhance the sense of space and light.
Set across two thoughtfully zoned levels - each with private exterior access - the ground floor features a sunlit courtyard flowing directly onto the Paper Trail, an elevated, tree-lined pedestrian walkway. Full-height sliding doors connect the courtyard to open-plan living and dining spaces, complemented by a powder room and clever under-stair storage.
The kitchen boasts bold finishes and industrial-style 900mm SMEG appliances, while a circular dining room window frames a view of the historic 1919 Boiler House - a striking feature as the first building from the Australian Paper Mills.
Upstairs, you'll find three well-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, both finished with terrazzo-inspired tiles. Zoned heating and cooling is included in all bedrooms and living areas for year-round comfort.
Secure basement parking for two vehicles is included, along with additional storage cage and a storage room for everyday convenience.
Residents can also enjoy private rooftop access from the shared entrance to the historic 1937 building - a peaceful and elevated retreat ideal for relaxing or entertaining, equipped with bbqs and outdoor seating.
Sustainability and innovation are key features, with solar panels, a rainwater tank, and integrated home automation enhancing efficiency, comfort, and convenience.
Ideally located just a short walk from public transport, Alphington Park, and YarraBend's vibrant retail village featuring AU79 café, Zero 95 Pizza & Italian Restaurant, celebrity chef Adam D'Sylva's Decca, a chemist, beauty services, pilates studio and more.
Scenic river trails, local schools, and open green spaces further enhance the appeal. Plus, the soon-to-open residents-only state-of-the-art Health & Wellness Centre will offer an additional level of luxury and lifestyle.
