History meets modernity in Moonee Ponds' cultural heart
Tracing its roots to a breathtaking 1890-91 design by Alexander Duguid, the reimagining of the former Wesleyan Church brings prestige to provenance, splendour to substance, and vitality to heritage. This remarkable residence sits at the heart of the conversion, weaving tri-level luxury with historical weight into the vibrant Moonee Ponds lifestyle.
An entertainer's front courtyard and patinaed entrance door mark each arrival, with a free-flowing ground level making an impression of its own. Polished concrete lies under a living/dining area and a stone-top Miele kitchen, while a spiral staircase keeps space open and flow unimpeded, reaching accommodation that's nothing short of first-class. A mezzanine study is the perfect complement to a chic bathroom and cathedral-ceiling guest room, while exposed bracework, stained glass, designer lights, and an ensuite accompany the master on the floor above. Sun streams through from a feature skylight, fills a triple-height void, and adds depth to unforgettable atmosphere, while other highlights include pivot doors, exquisite joinery, heating/cooling, a laundry, and secure car space.
Brunch favourite Quarter Two is at the building's doorstep, Woolworths and Puckle Street are seconds away, icons Penny Young and 20 Young Street are right around the corner, and the new Palace Cinema and Brunetti Classico sit just beyond, while trains, trams, parks, restaurants, bars, and boutique shops all fall within an easy stroll.
