Overview

An Iconic Conversion with Remarkable Proportions

Expressions of Interest Close Tuesday 8 September at 5pm. Long admired for its extraordinary architecture and its history as the former South Melbourne Primary School, this landmark building provides a spectacular setting for this exclusive New York-style three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence including a powder room with a sauna. With its own private entrance, the dual-level interior is distinguished by immense warehouse-inspired proportions, original schoolhouse features and a sun-drenched corner aspect, with secure parking for two, a prized inclusion. Beautifully restored hardwood floors extend through the expansive ground-floor living and dining domain, where a soaring double-height void enhances the impressive dimensions and accentuates the natural light. The contemporary kitchen pairs warm timber benches with contrasting dark cabinetry, premium European appliances and an integrated fridge/freezer, while a substantial island bench overlooks the living area and its gas fireplace set within Italian marble. Also on the ground level are a powder room and laundry lined with extensive storage and a Helo Finnish sauna, while an exceptionally large cellar provides additional storage. Timber and steel bridge walkways connect the accommodation on the upper level, comprising a generous bedroom with built-in robes and fitted joinery suitable for a home office, and two further robed bedrooms, each with an ensuite. Original exposed steel beams and oversized windows remain integral to the interior, complemented by internal louvre shutters that allow natural light and airflow throughout the upper level. Split-system heating and cooling, intercom entry, and gated parking for two complement an enviable lifestyle address, just a short stroll from South Melbourne Market, Clarendon Street cafés and restaurants, and city-bound trams, with Albert Park Village, Albert Park Lake, St Vincent Gardens, and light rail transport all within easy reach.
