South Yarra
New York style warehouse in the heart of South Yarra
With an ambiance reminiscent of New York's most luxurious lofts, this edge-of-Chapel lifestyle haven channels longstanding industrial heritage in the creation of a warm and welcoming residential masterpiece. Stylish and sophisticated, four breathtaking levels form an enthralling interior, with a recent reimagining promoting refinement, flair, and finesse. Attracting streams of sunlight, a focal light court and auxiliary lightwell enrich a serene lower level, with two bedrooms and a superb office/third bedroom served by an in-vogue bathroom with shower over concrete bath. Exuding a sense of space, a clever mezzanine features a peaceful lounge and powder room, providing a tranquil retreat ideal for losing afternoons in a novel and enjoying drinks with friends.
Spilling into a sun-splashed outdoor area, considerable living and dining sections flank a stand-out kitchen boasting Miele appliances, with original, steel-framed windows accentuating warehouse character. A remarkable summit to the home's sculpted flow, a top-floor main suite enjoys seamless migration between areas, with northern and southern balconies framing a sumptuous bedroom and twin-basin bathroom with soaker tub. Rich in designer and architectural distinction, further highlights include hydronic heating, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, extensive storage, an intercom, European laundry, and double garage. With Toorak Road and Chapel Street playing host to the city's most celebrated lifestyle precinct, the extraordinary home sits seconds from Como and Jam Factory Cinemas, trains and trams, boutique retail, animated nightspots, first-rate coffee, and renowned restaurants, while leading schools, the scenic Yarra Trail, Botanic Gardens, and Arts Centre sit moments away.
