Expressions Of Interest Closing Wed 27 May 12.00pm
A rare reimagining of a c1880s Victorian commercial terrace, this architect designed three bedroom, three bathroom residence draws on the language of a New York loft while delivering a level of finish and precision rarely seen. Across three levels, the home unfolds with clarity and intent, balancing raw materiality with refined detail, complete with garage, rooftop terrace and panoramic city views.
Polished concrete floors, three metre ceilings on both the ground floor and first level and exposed brick walls set the tone. Softened by concealed LED lighting, matte black joinery and carefully selected fixtures that give the interiors depth and atmosphere. A series of interconnected living zones begins with a dining area anchored by a built in bench seat and living zone complete with wine fridge, flowing through to a relaxed lounge and a striking central kitchen defined by Caesarstone Supernatural surfaces, integrated refrigeration and dual Miele ovens.
At the rear, full height glass sliders open to a private courtyard that captures light throughout the day. Beyond, a laneway accessed garage is wrapped in Japanese charred timber, with a versatile upper level space above, equally suited as a third bedroom, guest accommodation or a well resolved home office, complete with its own bathroom and robes.
Upstairs, the sense of scale continues. The north facing main bedroom is generous and composed, with extensive robes and an exquisite ensuite finished with heated floors and a freestanding bath. A second double bedroom, also with robes, is served by its own ensuite, reinforcing the home's considered approach to accommodation.
At the top, a rooftop terrace introduces a different dimension entirely. Complete with kitchenette, integrated refrigeration, servery window and powder room, it is designed for entertaining, with uninterrupted 270 degree views across the surrounding rooftops to the city skyline.
The specification is comprehensive, with hydronic floor heating, reverse cycle air conditioning, double glazing, integrated audio with Jamo speakers, smartphone controlled security including alarm, CCTV and video intercom, a European laundry, additional powder room, water tank and extensive storage.
With mixed use zoning offering flexibility for both residential and commercial use, the address places Chapel Street's restaurants, cafes and bars, Windsor Station, trams, Prahran Market, schools and parkland all within immediate reach.
