7 Black Street, Brunswick, Vic 3056

Here is a warehouse with a difference. The building's industrial provenance has been respected in an imaginative redesigning which creates a brilliant fusion of expansive and intimate spaces. Light floods in at every level, and the overall effect is one of peace and tranquillity - yet the café life of Sydney Road is just metres away from this little street of 'New Brunswick' style conversions.

The dimensions of this property are impressive - some 308m2 in all. At street level is a vast unpartitioned space, capable of garaging six cars. This would form an ideal studio/home office, or reconfigure as further living space. Timber stairs ascend to the living area: the sitting room to the front is magnificently proportioned, with vintage Scandinavian glass pendant lights and the original industrial style windows looking out over the Brunswick roofscape. Set to one side of the gallery which links the living and dining areas is an elegant bathroom/ laundry with a door to a large bedroom-study area with windows to the courtyard garden. The dining area is open to the kitchen, superbly equipped with white cabinetry, quartz benchtops, pantry, and stainless steel European appliances. Ceiling- high glass doors are an invisible wall to the restful balcony 'room', perfect for year-round entertaining.
On the upper level, a walk-in linen cupboard and further storage space are set at the entrance to the large main bedroom, which has a fine ensuite bathroom and a glorious view from the northern hills to the CBD.

This is a residence of timeless appeal. The existing flexible floorplan might be enhanced by the creation of a third bedroom or a roof garden; floor supports have already been constructed for a potential space of 20m2, entered from the main bedroom level. Soaring ceilings, concrete and japanned timber floor finishes contribute to the cool contemporary ambience. Premium imported fittings, extraordinary storage space, and reverse-cycle airconditioning are but of a few of the property's many attractions.

And what a location - close to Sydney Road and Jewell Station, and within a short walk to Princes Park, Royal Park and Melbourne University. This vibrant little precinct has been revivified by warehouse conversions such as this one. The area has an exciting future - make it yours!
