We didn't plan on selling. But with a move to Sweden on the horizon, it’s time to pass our home on to someone who’ll enjoy it as much as we have.
The location is hard to beat. Just 30 seconds from Sydney Road and a one-minute walk from Barkly Square, you’re right in the heart of Brunswick, with cafes, bars, restaurants, grocers and live music all within easy walking distance. Iris is our local coffee spot, Good Days and the Sporting Club Hotel are just a short stroll away, and BoulderLab is practically our neighbour. The tram is two minutes from the door, and Princes Park is five minutes away.
But what we’ll miss most is the calm.
Despite being so close to everything, the apartment feels like a retreat from the moment you step inside. North-facing, floor-to-ceiling windows along the whole frontage bring direct sunlight into the living area throughout the day, filling the space with natural light. High ceilings and exposed concrete add the warehouse character Brunswick does so well. It’s the best of both worlds: in the middle of everything when you want it, and a peaceful place to come home to when you don’t.
When we bought, we invested in the extra details that make everyday living feel a little more considered. The kitchen features an integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge with matching cabinetry, and a generous island that has become the natural gathering point of our home. Additional Built-in living room joinery keeps things clean and functional, while air conditioning in every room makes the apartment comfortable year-round.
Both bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, and the separate laundry adds a practical touch. Sheer curtains and smart, automatic blackout blinds feature throughout, alongside USB power points and dimmable lights for everyday convenience. Both bathrooms, including the ensuite, feature a custom olive-green finish that we love.
The balcony is a natural extension of the living space. The doors open right up on warmer days, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow that’s perfect for entertaining, sharing a meal or simply enjoying a drink with friends. Built-in planters bring greenery to the space and add to that relaxed, urban feel.
The apartment is part of Canvas, a boutique building of just 62 residences. The building is fossil fuel free, with solar-powered common areas and rooftop rainwater harvesting. Upstairs, residents can enjoy 360-degree views of Melbourne, a shared dining room, BBQ and cinema room. Just as importantly, it’s a building with genuinely lovely neighbours and a great sense of community.
A secure underground basement car / bicycle space and storage cage round out the package, making inner-Brunswick living that little bit easier.
