1/49-59 Stanley Street, West Melbourne, Vic 3003

Elegant, elevated, and endlessly enticing, this magnificently positioned, warehouse-style residence provides a sun-soaked lifestyle sanctuary among the verve and vibrancy of Melbourne's prized inner-fringe.

Measuring in excess of 100sqm, an exquisite interior offers an air of architectural distinction, with an abundance of glass attracting all-day rays to an intelligently worked plan. Lined with built-in robes, two large bedrooms are complemented by a stylish and substantial bathroom/laundry, while an inviting hallway opens to reveal a simply remarkable entertainer's domain. A focal, raked ceiling gifts depth, dimension, and room for clever clerestory windows, with considerable living, dining, and kitchen areas spilling into a scenic terrace with skyscraper vistas. Awash with all-day rays and enjoying an ambiance reminiscent of the finest factory conversions, highlights include reverse-cycle heating/cooling, a wraparound patio, and eligibility for multiple parking permits.

Quietly set back as one of only six in its tightly held complex, it's metres from trains and trams, Errol Street restaurants and nightlife, the iconic Queen Victoria Market, and picturesque Flagstaff Gardens, while the coffee, shopping, dining, arts, and afterhours scenes of Melbourne's CBD sit moments away.
