A treasured green oasis of parkland creates a lush and leafy backdrop for the volumes of light-filled space that define this substantial warehouse conversion in inner-Melbourne’s iconic Foy & Gibson precinct. Brilliantly fitted out and offered for the first time in over 25-years, this flexible and free-flowing residence combines original industrial character and contemporary refinement throughout a series of spaces framed by exposed steel beams, triple-brick walls and extensive glazing over 2 captivating levels. Gallery-style hallway entry extends on polished hardwood floorboards to a large main bedroom that includes a walk-in robe and direct ensuite access to a sensational 2-way bathroom characterised by mosaic tiling that offers a frameless-glass shower and a separate bathtub. Further, through wide barn doors, is a spacious second bedroom including built-in robes, side tables and sconces, while just outside under a soaring ceiling void is a versatile office or study space ideal as a WFH base or extra living if desired. Located upstairs is a vast, open-planned domain bound by banks of light-capturing windows that complemented by a huge updated timber kitchen with Smeg and Bosch appliances, along with a separate laundry/powder room, offers an expansive setting for living, dining and lounging that can easily be configured to suit changing needs. Also offers electric heating on both levels, wall-to-wall carpet in bedrooms, intercom security plus a secure undercover car parking space on title. Residential sanctuaries in the historic Foy & Gibson buildings are highly sought-after for their New York loft-style qualities and this impressive corner home is no exception presenting an outstanding opportunity beside Peel Street Park. Experience a wonderful city-edge lifestyle of complete quiet and privacy close to the excellent cafes, restaurants, shops and galleries in the dynamic Smith, Gertrude and Brunswick Streets’ quarter, trams to the city, East Melbourne hospitals, the Fitzroy Gardens, Queen Victoria Market and the University of Melbourne.
