Once upon a laneway - back when Hardware Street answered to Wrights Lane and horses were traded in red-brick bazaars - this building began its life. Fast-forward to now, and 3/114 Hardware Street stands as a beautifully reimagined ground-floor apartment, steeped in history and dressed for modern city living. One of only a handful of former office conversions in the CBD, this is laneway cool with a very respectable past life.
Offered for just the second time in 22 years, this generously proportioned 88m (approx.) home proves that inner-city living doesnt have to mean tip-toeing around your furniture. High ceilings stretch overhead, engineered blackbutt floors anchor the space, and the entire apartment has been stylishly refreshed to feel calm, confident and quietly cool.
The brand-new kitchen is ready for its close-up - sleek cabinetry, stone bench tops and a Whirlpool oven setting the scene for everything from weeknight pasta to overly ambitious dinner parties. The bathroom is fresh and contemporary with an integrated laundry, while a separate powder room ensures guests never have to awkwardly wait their turn.
The main bedroom is a conversation starter in the best possible way, featuring built-in wardrobes and a walk-in robe complete with a working exit sign - a charming nod to the apartments former life as an office. And just when you think thats quirky enough, a hidden rear door tucked inside the robe delivers exclusive access straight into the city, like a secret passage for locals only.
Bedroom two matches the scale of the first and also includes built-in robes, making the layout perfect for couples, families, guests or those with creative ambitions and a need for space.
The fully enclosed balcony is a shape-shifter - home office by day, reading nook by evening, winter garden when the mood strikes. Power points, sliding doors on either side, block-out blinds and double-glazed internal windows keep the city buzz where it belongs - outside. Add NBN (FTTB), secure video intercom and reverse-cycle heating and cooling, and youve got year-round comfort sorted.
Step outside and Melbourne does the rest. Bus stops at your door, Melbourne Central just 550 metres away, Free Tram Zone access, Queen Victoria Market within 700 metres, and laneway royalty like Mjlner, Hardware Socit and Kirks Wine Bar waiting downstairs.
Perfect for downsizers, investors, professionals or inner-city families, this is low-maintenance living without losing an ounce of character. Zoned for Carlton Gardens Primary and University High, and moments from RMIT and the University of Melbourne, its a location that overdelivers on every front.
This is not a shoebox. This is not generic.
This is quintessentially Melbourne - historic, spacious, fully renovated and gloriously different.
Miss it, and someone else will be telling this story instead.
