'S.T. NUNQUAM': A SUPERB FACTORY CONVERSION
This exceptional residence exemplifies the best in conversion design, fusing original industrial elements with sympathetic contemporary style. The iconic red brick Nunquam sweets factory, erected in 1916, is one of North Carlton's few buildings with an industrial heritage, and the small scale high-privacy nature of the redevelopment accords with the area's residential character.
A secure entry opens to a hallway, floored in the gleaming reclaimed hardwood which is employed extensively throughout the house. Lower level accommodation comprises a bedroom/study, fitted with quality cabinetry, and a second large bedroom with dressing room and a fully tiled ensuite bathroom with marble finishes. High set windows to the adjacent laneway ensure good natural light. A hallway opening a wine storage area and linen cupboard opens to a remote-entry double garage with storage cabinets. Stairs lead up past a cutout wall to an expansive living and dining zone, floored in polished concrete, with tall windows looking out over the Newry Street plane trees. This dramatic space is overlooked by a state-of-the art kitchen, fitted with timber cabinetry, marble and stainless steel benchtops, and Smeg appliances. A small gallery with a full laundry to one side opens out through a wall of glass to a delightful sail-covered outdoor entertaining area, with a window wall to the main bedroom, complete with dressing room and a sumptuous ensuite bathroom. The upper level, bordered by factory roof trusses, comprises an enchanting curved-ceiling second living area, offering stunning views from two walled balconies to the CBD and the north.
Finished to an exemplary standard, this inner urban sanctuary, featuring mellow brick walls, intercom entry, airconditioning, and extensive storage, is just around the corner from Rathdowne Village, idyllic Curtain Square and the city tram stop.
