Once part of a larger warehouse, this distinctive residence retains a tangible connection to its industrial past through its preserved original concrete floor, while a structural staircase retained from a previous renovation forms a defining feature within the highly resolved contemporary interior. Reimagined by Pitch Architecture + Design, the home is distinguished by bespoke timber detailing and a considered architectural language, creating an individual residence within one of Fitzroy's most vibrant lifestyle precincts.
Light, volume and materiality shape the open-plan living and dining area, creating an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. At its centre, the impressive kitchen features a substantial, custom-made island by Daco Kitchens, enhanced by bespoke joinery and integrated storage. The living space extends to a private courtyard, providing a low-maintenance outdoor setting for relaxed entertaining. The state-of-the-art kitchen is appointed with premium Fisher & Paykel appliances, including an integrated refrigerator and dish drawers, Bora induction cooktop with built-in extraction fan, and extensive custom cabinetry.
Three well-proportioned bedrooms include the main suite, which enjoys balcony access and a sense of privacy and separation from the remaining bedrooms. These are accompanied by two beautifully appointed bathrooms, including the main bathroom which features a bath, full-height tiling and matt black tapware. Two separate powder rooms across both levels add further convenience.
A considered palette of finishes and inclusions reinforces the residence's warehouse provenance while introducing warmth and comfort. Concrete flooring grounds the interiors, balanced by full-loop wool carpet across the upper-level, while quality blinds and curtains provide privacy and light control. Split-system air-conditioning serves the living area and all bedrooms, complemented by designer track lighting, a European laundry and a secure remote-controlled garage.
With an excellent array of open green spaces and everyday amenities nearby, the setting captures the distinctive convenience and vitality of Fitzroy living. Brunswick Street's celebrated cafes, restaurants and bars are close at hand, accompanied by the independent dining, design and cultural offerings of Smith and Gertrude Streets. Multiple tram routes provide direct connections to the CBD, while established cycling routes and highly walkable streets highlight the precinct's convenience.
