214/277 Barkly Street, Footscray, Vic 3011

The dual level design of this inviting apartment reflects the dynamism with which Arthur Blackett's iconic c1914 Barkly Theatre was comprehensively updated by Metaxas Architects some 90 years later. A substantial open-plan living/dining domain is complemented by a kitchen featuring stone benches and stainless steel appliances while the entire upstairs space belongs to a beautiful bedroom where raked ceilings, an ensuite and built-in robes enhance the appeal of the proportions. A private balcony, heating/cooling, European laundry and downstairs powder-room deliver additional reason to enjoy. Stylish, kept constantly secure by CCTV and so central to absolutely everything Footscray has to offer, the Barkly Theatre still plays a starring local role.
