214/1 Dods Street, Brunswick, Vic 3056

This outstanding 145sqm (approx.) apartment in the superbly maintained Holeproof development embodies best-practice design. Created by Six Degrees and modified by its present owners, the directors of Bent Architecture, the two-level residence is characterized by fluid spaces, abundant natural light and an imaginative use of multi-textured recycled materials. The lower level opens past a tiled bathroom/laundry and separate WC to a stunning high-ceilinged living and dining area, where spaces are demarcated by platformed timber floors. To one side is the kitchen, fitted in industrial style with stainless steel and marble benchtops, 5-burner cooktop and central mobile chef's bench. The living area flows seamlessly through tall multi-fold doors to a covered terrazzo floored balcony, with northerly views over Brunswick.

Upstairs are two bedrooms, the main bedroom bordered by louvred windows looking down to the living room, the second flexibly separated into two zones. This unique residence includes huge storage space, bespoke cabinetry, reverse-cycle airconditioning, secure basement parking/storage cage and lift entry. The location is wonderful - in a quiet street just moments from Sydney Road cafes, shops and transport to the CBD.
