Not everything that looks unconventional plays it safe - and that's precisely the point. 26 North Street is a genuinely rare find in the heart of West End: a fully transformed 1975-era commercial building, thoughtfully reimagined into a striking three-bedroom inner-city residence that blends industrial bones with warm, contemporary living. This is not the kind of home you stumble across every day. It's the kind you remember.
Reclassified from commercial to residential use, the transformation here has been total. From new electrical services and plumbing reticulation to a refreshed roof, Bosch European appliances, polished concrete floors, bespoke timber joinery and designer tiling - every corner of this home has been approached with intention and a clear aesthetic vision. The result is a property that feels as individual as the suburb it calls home.
The Home
Step inside and you're immediately greeted by soaring ceilings and an open-plan living and dining space anchored by polished concrete floors and flooded with natural light. The kitchen is a standout - bespoke timber joinery in a warm oak finish, grey handmade-look tile splashback, stone benchtops, and a full suite of Bosch appliances including induction cooktop, oven, and dishwasher. It's a proper cook's kitchen in a home that's clearly been designed for people who enjoy living well.
The master bedroom suite is a genuine retreat - spacious, carpeted and enjoying its own walk-in robe. Two further bedrooms feature quality built-in robes and split-system air-conditioning. The bathroom delivers on style with handmade look grey square tiles, a wicker-framed mirror, vessel basin, and brushed nickel tapware.
