105/9 Florence Street, Brunswick, Vic 3056

Some apartments look good in photos. This one looks better in person and even better once you've spent a weekend morning on the balcony with the eucalypts rustling outside. Set within a well-regarded Brunswick development, this one-bedroom apartment has been fitted out with a distinct industrial-loft character: polished timber floorboards, exposed concrete ceilings, spiral ductwork and a considered material palette that feels more warehouse conversion than standard apartment block.

The open-plan living and kitchen area is the heart of the home, anchored by a matte black kitchen with a sleek concrete-style benchtop, integrated gas cooking and a stainless-steel shelving unit that keeps everyday essentials on display without feeling cluttered. A reclaimed timber feature wall adds warmth and texture, framing a built-in bookshelf that's begging to be filled. Track lighting and a ceiling fan overhead strike the balance between industrial edge and everyday comfort, while a built-in bench seat make the space as easy to relax in as it is to entertain in.

Sliding glass doors draw the eye – and the light – straight through to a private, tree-fringed balcony, where you'll enjoy morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, looking out over eucalypts and the rooftops of Brunswick. It's a genuinely leafy outlook, a rare find this close to the city.

The bedroom continues the apartment's raw, considered aesthetic, with a striking exposed concrete ceiling detail and long window that lets in soft natural light while keeping the room private. There's enough space to create a dedicated study – an ideal space for a home office setup – makes working from home a genuine pleasure rather than an afterthought.
The bathroom leans further into the apartment's industrial identity, with raw copper piping, an open shower area, a freestanding vanity with built-in shelving for toiletries, and polished concrete underfoot – a spa-like, unfussy space that feels both practical and design-led.

Every detail here has been considered, from the entry hallway's timber shelving and hanging hooks to the mix of original artwork throughout. It's an apartment for someone who wants character over cookie-cutter, and who values a genuine sense of design intent in every room.

Positioned in one of Brunswick's most walkable pockets, you're close to a great mix of local cafes and restaurants, with trams and buses nearby for an easy commute into the city, and green space on hand for weekend walks and rides.
This is inner-north living with real character.
