Redfern NSW 2016

Warehouse cool meets New York loft style living in this house-sized apartment offering a rare opportunity to buy in the Watertower, Sydney's first ever warehouse conversion. Built in 1903, the brownstone-like building was home to the McMurtrie shoe factory, boot supplier to the Australian army during two world wars, until the 1960s. Driven by the foresight and vision of architect Peter Mulroney, the Watertower was reborn in the 1980s heralding a new direction in city living that celebrates the industrial past while creating unique city residences that foster a sense of neighbourhood and community. On the eastern wing of the building, the first floor apartment overlooks Gibbons Street Reserve with a huge bank of warehouse windows framing a leafy urban outlook. Soaring 3.5m ceilings and century old hardwood beams bring the wow factor while a sprawling 124sqm layout creates a superb home for entertaining. Holding a prized corner position, with a common deck at the doorstep overlooking the oasis-like pool, ultimate security and convenience is assured with Redfern station just across the street and everything from small bars and microbreweries
