Drive directly in off quiet Little Oxford and draw a breath as the bespoke architect-designed transformation of this beautiful double-storey warehouse residence is absolutely stunning. High ceilings of up to 4-metres, luxurious appointments and outdoor areas on both levels set a scene of rare volume, indulgence and state-of-the-art sophistication spanning 125 sqms approx. in a secluded, light and free-flowing setting only a short stroll to Gertrude and Smith Streets. Secure ground-floor entry establishes an immediate sense of design intent extending on a polished concrete floor to a smart multipurpose space that connecting to a private alfresco courtyard, is perfectly functional as a studio or work-from-home retreat. The impeccably-resolved lower level is completed by a refined rear bedroom with polished plaster walls, integrated storage, tossB Belgian lighting and underfloor heating, while just beside it is a luxurious bathroom showcasing a custom brass basin, Fantini Fukasawa tapware, Brodware fixtures and v.brokkr artisan hardware. Spatial cohesion and sublime craftsmanship continue upstairs with a relaxing dining and living area capturing easterly light, and an adjoining premium kitchen defined by sculptural Spectra marble surfaces, hand-finished aluminium detailing, top-line Bosch appliances (induction cooktop, oven, integrated dishwasher) and custom cabinetry fitted with Blum soft-close mechanisms and v.brokkr handles and pulls. A soaring raked ceiling and concrete floor aligned with the home's refined warehouse aesthetic is beautifully offset by a large atrium-style terrace, before a sensational second bedroom and a stylish bathroom both equally impressive as those below. Additional highlights include European laundry, a linen cupboard with integrated pull-out/swivel ironing board, extensive customised shelving and storage throughout, with the rare right to build up an additional storey (STCA) if desired. Set within the historic Foy & Gibson warehouse precinct in a boutique conversion of only 8, this remarkable residence with its exceptional long-term architectural excellence and flexibility is an exquisite one of a kind that presents an extraordinary city-edge opportunity only moments to cafes, restaurants, wine bars, shopping, trams, the Carlton Gardens, East Melbourne medical precinct and the CBD.
