A truly distinctive property where considered design, comfort and commercial versatility come together in one of Soldiers Hill's most convenient locations.
Originally built in the 1890s and thoughtfully transformed, this beautifully designed property combines natural materials, exposed brick, timber, stone and concrete with custom joinery and clever spatial planning. Every aspect has been carefully considered, creating a property that is
both visually striking and exceptionally functional, with a seamless balance between living, working and entertaining.
What makes this property particularly compelling is the genuine separation between its residential and commercial components. The three-room commercial space occupies the prominent Macarthur Street frontage, with its own entrance, kitchenette and powder room, while the three-bedroom residence, with two distinct living areas, is privately positioned behind
with secure access from Doveton Street.
The commercial space can be configured as one larger working environment or divided into separate rooms, making it suitable for a professional practice, creative studio or home business, or alternatively leased independently to provide an additional income stream.
The Residence
Beyond the commercial frontage, the home unfolds as a beautifully considered and highly individual residence.
The light-filled open-plan living area features high pitched timber-lined ceilings and a large gas log fireplace. It flows through to the designer kitchen, with stone benchtops, quality appliances and a large gas-strut window opening to the adjoining built-in timber bar, creating a seamless connection with the garden and a beautiful sense of bringing the outside in.
A spectacular sunken lounge/theatre retreat, separate from the main living area, features two built-in queen-sized daybeds and provides a cosy, versatile space for relaxing, reading, movie nights or accommodating guests.
The master suite is a private retreat, with an elevated loft-style sleeping area, extensive custom dressing room and full ensuite, complemented by two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom.
Outside, an established tropical-style garden creates a private oasis of natural bluestone, timber decking, bamboo and lush greenery, feeling remarkably tranquil despite the home's central location. Private rear access from Doveton Street, with secure gated and keyless entry, provides a separate and private entrance to the residential component away from the commercial frontage.
Large gas log fire and full hydronic heating throughout, complemented by split-system heating and cooling, ensures year-round comfort.
A rare opportunity to own a beautifully designed three-bedroom residence with dual living areas, together with the flexibility to work from, operate a business from, or generate additional income from the adjoining commercial space.
