Part of a 1990s redesign bringing life to the legacy of the former Kew Empire Hall (c. 1909), this exquisite conversion represents seven years of restoration and commitment to a vision. Original details remain, modern comforts complement, and atmosphere takes centre stage in a residence defined by architectural expression, with Junction verve and Yarra calm the backdrop to a life of warehouse style luxury. One of only three with a Halfey Lane address, the home is its own haven away from the world. Exposed trusses and brickwork, a sawtooth ceiling, and extraordinary volume are met by swathes of stone, splashes of colour, and all day sun, with ground floor living and dining areas either side of a kitchen made for hospitality. An oversized guest room with a robe and ensuite, storage lined third bedroom, chic main bathroom with a bathtub, and study/nursery all feature on the mezzanine above, while a dressing room, ensuite, and scenic terrace prove perfect counterparts to a top floor master. Other highlights include Asko, ILVE, and Siemens studioLine appliances, reverse cycle heating/cooling, bespoke hardwood joinery, timber floors, a ground floor laundry and powder room, two garage spaces and storage cage. Sitting metres away from bars, boutiques, restaurants, city trams, and elite schools including Xavier College, MLC and Trinity College.
