Ultimate lifestyle pad!
Its the ultimate lifestyle pad, lurking where you would least suspect it. Hidden behind a grungy door on Gertrude Street (recently dubbed the worlds second coolest street by Time Out)), this property has been transformed from a two-bedroom into the luxurious, open plan residence that designer dreams are made of.
One of the earliest projects by award-winning firm Six Degrees Architecture, the lower floor flows from lounge through to the dining, kitchen and a further living area in one clean uninterrupted line. From throughout the space you can look North for views of the Atherton gardens or South to your own private garden (more on that later). The bright, minimalist fitout also features some of Six Degrees signature motifs: wooden floors constructed of large scale panels for ultimate visual warmth and the unmistakable calling card of a stained-glass-inset feature wall that forms the entire rear wall of both the lower floor and master bedroom.
Owner-occupied for the last decade, the space has been engineered to maximise its potential. Skylights flood the building with light, including the indoor shower and bath. Double glazing on street-facing windows ensures impressive views yet minimal noise. Devices have been fitted to allow for automation. The jewel in the crown is the Japanese-inspired garden and entertaining area, which, thanks to a feat of engineering, features full-sized trees, a cooking area, plus its own onsen-style cabana and outdoor bath.
The master bedroom occupies the top floor of the tenancy and features floor-to-ceiling BIR of reclaimed timber and split system air con. The stained glass wall means waking to leafy views over the Japanese maple tree and out to the city skyline.
A recent renovation has seen the property entirely rejuvenated, with floors refinished, quality carpeting installed in the lounge and bedroom, all paintwork updated, and the kitchen and bathroom given a modern makeover including installing a brand new induction cooktop and built-in dishwasher. Window blinds and a retractable garden awning can be remotely operated.
The location speaks for itself. Hospitality heavyweights like two-hat restaurant Cutler & Co. and ever-packed cafes like Archies All Day and Calere Coffee are literally on your doorstep. Likewise, iconic Melbourne designers like Alice Edgely. Carlton and Fitzroy Gardens are barely five minutes walk away, and for dog owners, Atherton Gardens has active gatherings every afternoon. Access to the 96, 86 and 11 tram lines make a car almost redundant, however the property comes with a permit for all surrounding streets. Full of life, yet quiet at night, its the street of dreams, and this is the dream pad at its very heart.
