Offered to the market for the first time in over five decades, this impressive double fronted home on an over 400m2 allotment (approx) presents an intriguing and enticing prospect.
Behind the facade lies a remarkable history of an artisan cobbler who established a thriving family business, handcrafting bespoke shoes in a separate factory at the rear of his home.
The utilitarian spaces of this spotless building form a stunning contrast to the turn of the century grandeur, sheer beauty and timeless allure of the stunning four-bedroom home, which, on its own, introduces a host of exciting possibilities.
Linked by a brick-paved courtyard, which was ideal for entertaining with family and friends on the weekend and a sunny space for workers to take their lunch break during the working week, these two buildings deliver a rarely seen opportunity to create the next chapter in an evocative story.
Astute buyers may look to unite both buildings into one showstopping residence creating a family home that combines sophistication and charm with inspired contemporary finishes all tucked behind a classic façade. Others may seek to take full advantage of laneway access from two separate points and meld the commercial past with a contemporary future to convert the voluminous spaces into a luxurious second dwelling. Alternatively, such wonderful spaces could make a stunning studio or contemporary workspace once again (all STCA).
On a quiet tree-lined street that belies its location footsteps to the tram, and Smith and Brunswick Streets' endless variety of cafes, restaurants, boutiques, bars and supermarkets, and with the CBD merely moments away, it offers serene spaces and unmatched potential encircled by unique and desired cosmopolitan lifestyle advantages.
