With a storied past as a former boot factory and worker’s ballroom, this inspired conversion of a longstanding warehouse, rich with space, charm, and versatility, delivers sumptuous, light-filled living in Abbotsford’s heart of culture and lifestyle. Scattered skylights attract all-day rays, creating a tranquil interior that feels separate from the nearby bustle, while an array of clever intricacies promises real-world practicality. Pale timber tones and divine open spaces promote an ambiance of airy, upbeat refinement, with entwined living/dining and kitchen areas taking centre stage among two large lower bedrooms, a multi-purpose/office room, a luxe, oversized bathroom, and a lounge perfect as a professional’s base. Lined with pressed metal walls and ceilings, a bright upper bedroom is dedicated as a serene private retreat, while a brilliant roof terrace, enjoying complete privacy, serves as a sublime spot for a peaceful coffee, lazy afternoon with a novel, or social drink after dark. Featuring bespoke wall art by renowned local artist Rone, this remarkable home also includes heating/cooling, laundry facilities, a wood fire, Electrolux appliances, and eligibility for two parking permits. Just meters from Blume’s outstanding coffee, Johnston Street’s vibrant nightlife, and the evergreen Gahan Reserve, it’s only a short stroll to city trains and trams, the Abbotsford Convent precinct, and the idyllic Yarra Trail, with iconic Smith, Gertrude, Brunswick, and Victoria Streets close by.
