Cool Conversion in the Heart of Kensington
Retaining all the allure of its industrial past, this landmark warehouse benefits from a stunning transformation by award-winning Hank Romyn and DX Architects to deliver a lifestyle of exceptional versatility with the best of Kensington at your doorstep. Impressive from every perspective, the home's expansive interior showcases four large bedrooms and soundproof studio/fifth bedroom (all with built-in robes) complemented by two deluxe bathrooms - one on each level. Adding to the allure is a vast open-plan living/dining area with towering ceilings flowing through to the family/meals area adjoined by a marble-bench kitchen complete with 900mm cooking appliances, integrated dishwasher and butler's pantry with second sink. Other stand-out features of this remarkable residence include a home office with custom built-in desk, separate study, workshop, large laundry, underground cellar and big blank-canvas mezzanine, as well as split-system heating/cooling, hydronic heating that covers all the ground floor, additional wood heater (living area), exposed beams and polished concrete floors. Rounding out this extraordinary city-fringe lifestyle package is a wonderfully private courtyard garden with large deck ideal for relaxing or entertaining, plus the unique advantage of a rooftop terrace with spectacular city views to enjoy. Opposite reserve along with immediate access to Kensington Station (two stops to the CBD), it's also walking distance to Macaulay Road/Bellair Street shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as Macaulay Station down the road (different train line), endless trails along Moonee Ponds Creek and easy access to Citylink.
