83A Capel Street, West Melbourne, Vic 3003

Dating back to 1897, 83A Capel Street was originally built as a workshop for Dominick Cleary, son of prominent West Melbourne bootmaker Patrick Cleary. Today, its historic red-brick character provides the foundation for a private three-level residence where heritage meets contemporary living.

Privately accessed via Allison Lane, the home makes an immediate impression with its rust-toned front door, soaring ceilings, timber floors and clerestory windows that draw natural light throughout. A striking powder-coated spiral staircase forms the architectural centrepiece, connecting each level and creating a strong sense of verticality and space.

The ground floor provides secure entry, a bathroom and the exceptional convenience of a remote-controlled double garage — a rare advantage so close to the CBD. The second level opens into an expansive open plan living and dining domain, centred around a contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances, dishwasher and generous storage.

The entire third level is dedicated to the main bedroom, offering built-in robes and a fully renovated ensuite to create a private retreat. Above, the private rooftop terrace enjoys a west-facing outlook towards the city skyline, with a built-in bench providing a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy the outlook. An intimate outdoor setting, it provides an inviting backdrop for evening entertaining or simply unwinding as the city lights come to life.

Hydronic heating, split-system climate control and NBN Fibre to the Premises add contemporary comfort, while Queen Victoria Market, local cafes, public transport and the Melbourne CBD are all within easy reach, whilst quietly and privately positioned away from the surrounding bustle. Conveniently located in the University High School and North Melbourne Primary School Zones.

With its historic origins, unusual three-level configuration, architectural details and private rooftop outlook, this home offers a rare opportunity to experience heritage character with the comforts of contemporary inner-city living.
