Sublime simplicity throughout a brilliantly curated interior creates space to live, love, work and play with this substantial warehouse conversion in the Foy & Gibson precinct. In-demand architect Claire Scorpo has cleverly reimagined the vast single-level setting of this light-filled 2 bedroom apartment where private accommodation and spacious living zones form a free-flowing layout linked by banks of east-facing glazing and natural timber surfaces to a versatile indoor/outdoor room. A gallery hallway leads to a library area with a wall of full-height shelving that conceals a quiet all-in-one bedroom/home office including built-in robes and a fitted desk with storage. Dining and living areas in a sweeping open-planned space are flanked by tall east windows, a contemporary AEG-appointed kitchen and an entertainment unit before opening through sliding doors to an enclosed, open-air sunroom that’s ideal for a winter garden, summer entertaining and year-round alfresco enjoyment. Central is a stylish streamlined bathroom and a European laundry offering dual access to the main bedroom that adjoins a fully-fitted dressing area with built-in robes. Flexible and minimal accentuated by authentic industrial features, this extensive warehouse apartment in a historic red brick building is superbly articulated and perfectly adaptable to meet changing needs in a high-quality, low-maintenance city-edge setting. Including a car space on title, reverse cycle aircon and lift access this rare lifestyle opportunity in inner-Melbourne’s premier warehouse precinct is enviably located near Smith, Gertrude & Brunswick Streets’ myriad cafés, restaurants, shops, wine bars and galleries, trams, Peel Street Park and the Fitzroy & Carlton Gardens.
