The penthouse is located in one of Fitzroy's iconic, heritage, MacRobertson factories; circa 1880! The boutique warehouse comprises only 17 apartments, and this is the largest. There is a security, undercover garage under the building on the ground floor, with internal access to the elevator and lobby. Amongst tree-lined side streets, so close to the main Fitzroy streets and city trams, youll be amazed how quiet yet central this penthouse really is!
Set over two levels, this enormous penthouse warehouse conversion is well located to enjoy Melbourne. With lift access, it is a large, light-filled apartment complete with original industrial features, carefully curated historic artwork and a large 20m2 north-facing terrace boasting city views! Green plants are throughout the apartment. (We ask you to water these please. It only takes a few minutes).
Downstairs are two living areas, one of which is two stories high with a stunning green plant wall. Furniture is bespoke and considered, including original 1970s armchairs by the renowned Australian designer, Tessa.
The kitchen is a cooks dream with stone bench tops, Victorianox chef knives, a pantry of spices and high-grade appliances. The beautiful, custom-made dining table easily seats 8; the legs were made from the steel barbells stands of the 1956 Melbourne Olympics! At the top of the dining table is an original large painting of the acclaimed Australian artist, Jasper Knight.
An industrial staircase will lead you upstairs, passing an original iconic poster from Melbourne Zoo from the 1980s, a piece of cherished pop culture. Upstairs is a large open plan study (with desk and a sofa bed) and a Queen bedroom, both with bi-fold doors opening onto the large rooftop terrace, that is ideal for relaxation or entertaining.
The spacious loft King bedroom overlooks the living area below. It has a large privacy roller blind that shuts off the open loft wall.
The light-filled bathroom features a bath, and windows with city views allowing you to shower while watching the sunrise over Melbourne!
The penthouse is only a very short stroll to the trams, and is surrounded by bustling streets, with their cafes, restaurants, shops, supermarkets and wine bars, and the Eastern Freeway is only 1 km away.
