Warehouse scale & inner-city soul
Rising from the storied bones of the former MacRobertson's chocolate factory, this expansive warehouse conversion in the heart of Fitzroy pairs raw industrial character with breathtaking scale. Exposed brick and sculptural ductwork adorn spaces of impossibly high ceilings and colossal voids, where light pours across vast open spaces designed for bold living. Above it all, a private rooftop terrace crowns the residence, culminating in an urban sanctuary suspended in the sky, rich with history and unmistakable edge.
- Upon entry, the ground floor opens to a grand foyer that instantly sets the tone for this impressive property, which unfolds over tiles to meet the first of two living spaces, two bedrooms, a spacious, modern bathroom, and separate laundry.
- Up the architectural, steel-framed staircase, the first level, and heart of the home, truly shines, showcasing a dining area under unprecedented ceiling heights, a second living area with woodfire heater, second bathroom, and well-appointed kitchen complete with immense stone-island, stainless-steel benchtops, quality appliances, and breakfast bar.
- Continuing up, the second level is occupied by the primary bedroom, benefitting from built-in robes and separate dressing room, third and final bathroom boasting skylight, walk-in shower and separate tub, mezzanine study space open to the level below but able to be closed off for privacy, and powder room.
- The third level reveals a flexible studio/storage space and decked rooftop terrace, perennially sun-drenched for whiling away lazy summer days or hosting sky-high cocktail parties.
- Additional features comprise secure garage parking, hydronic heating throughout, split system cooling, and exceptional storage room, built-in wine storage, and library shelving.
- The vibrant precincts of Gertrude, Smith, and Brunswick Streets surround the property, brimming with a brilliant selection of local coffee shops, intimate bars and atmospheric nightspots, curated fashion retailers, fitness studios, and supermarkets, all just moments away.
- Walk to Smith and Brunswick Street trams enhancing everyday convenience and elevating the ease and enjoyment of day-to-day life.
