2 Victoria Court, NORTH MELBOURNE VIC 3051

Historic detail and contemporary style are brilliantly fused in this meticulously designed transformation of a large Victorian warehouse, virtually seconds from Errol Street cafes, transport and close to the Victoria Market. On the corner of two wide bluestone lanes, the red brick building, with large steel-framed industrial windows to two sides, has a strong historic presence. From a secure entry the property opens from a recycled timber door to a foyer. To one side is a spacious high-ceilinged bedroom/ home office with ensuite bathroom; the other side opens to a double remote-entry garage with generous storage space, a full-size laundry, and access to a cellar and water tank. Through the spine of the house is a new staircase with wide timber treads and Deco-style steel rails. The central level comprises a vast living and dining area -- with high timber-trussed ceiling, gleaming stringybark floors, and a handsome timber screen feature with a superbly equipped kitchen and powder room to one side. The kitchen is custom-fitted with butlers pantry, premium appliances, Caesarstone-topped island bench, stainless steel benchtops and tiled splashbacks.

On the upper level of this light-filled residence are a gallery/study zone and two double bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms, one with bath and double shower; the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe. All rooms open to a delightful roof terrace with mellow brick walls and views to the CBD and Docklands. This quite exceptional property, zoned Mixed Use, features hydronic heating, double glazing, split-system air conditioning and generous storage.
