Positioned within a tightly held character complex, 6/42 Grenier Street offers a unique combination of heritage charm, generous proportions and exceptional versatility. Rich exposed brickwork, decorative fretwork and timber floors give the residence plenty of personality, while thoughtful updates throughout provide comfortable modern living. With all but one residence in the complex owner-occupied, there is a strong sense of pride of ownership. Adding to its rarity is exceptional off-street parking for three vehicles, with one secure garage space plus two allocated spaces directly in front of the property, a big advantage for this inner-city location.
The main residence offers spacious open-plan living and dining alongside a modern kitchen with excellent cabinetry, generous bench space, a butler's pantry and breakfast bar seating. Large openings connect the interiors to a wide covered balcony framed by established greenery, creating an inviting outdoor extension of the living space. The main bedroom with WIR and modern ensuite is incredibly generous in size, with a further 2 good sized bedrooms being serviced by the main bathroom. The split-level design creates excellent separation throughout the home.
Adding significantly to the property's appeal and value is the fully self-contained studio on the lower level, complete with its own living and sleeping space, kitchenette and bathroom/laundry. The configuration allows the upstairs and downstairs areas to be rented separately, presenting an exciting opportunity for investors, buyers seeking an additional income stream, or those wanting flexible accommodation for extended family, guests or older children. The lower level also enjoys direct access to an impressive private courtyard surrounded by mature greenery, with ample room for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing.
