Indoor/Outdoor Heritage Haven in Historic Inner-City Setting
Step into a slice of Melbourne’s history with this stunningly converted c.1860 brick and bluestone warehouse, located at the very edge of Flagstaff Gardens and the heart of the city. This former Phoenix Clothing factory, now a heritage-listed landmark, blends industrial grace with contemporary flair, with the rare inclusion of a large outdoor courtyard oasis within the University High School zone.
From its discreet laneway entrance opposite the parklands, discover a world where historical quirks meet modern lifestyle needs. Celebrated as Melbourne’s first sewer-connected building, it features rich original timber floors and barn doors, soaring roof trusses, sash windows with exposed pipework and modernised cabinetry adding a touch of the contemporary to the timeless.
Unfolding over three levels, this architectural structure introduces a foyer entrance into a vast and versatile bedroom or living area with floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the serene courtyard – the perfect space for private tranquillity or lively entertaining on both large and intimate scales. Add to this, a kitchenette and powder room, plus a cleverly integrated laundry with adjoining utilities space. The journey continues upstairs where living and bedroom spaces encircle a luxurious bathroom with bath, and a unique “glass-box” library offers endless potential to enjoy as a bedroom, office or whatever your creative pursuits may require! The pinnacle of the property: a whole floor living and dining area, complete with a stainless-steel kitchen equipped with Miele and Smeg appliances plus large skylights for generous natural light throughout. Connectivity and comfort are paramount, with reverse-cycle air conditioning, gas heating and triple brick insulation.
Nestled off King Street at the northern end of Melbourne’s legal precinct, this remarkable property is mere steps from key transport hubs Flagstaff and Southern Cross stations, the bustling Victoria Market, and the Ritz-Carlton precinct. A stroll from Docklands, Etihad Stadium, and within easy reach of Melbourne University and major health facilities via tram, move quickly to secure this rare opportunity combining urban convenience and historical charm that stands as a testament to Melbourne’s rich tapestry.
