Set within the tightly held and iconic Foy & Gibson precinct, circa 1888, one of just 14 residences in this distinctive heritage conversion. This apartment impresses immediately with its scale, natural light and timeless appeal. Wide timber flooring, soaring proportions and striking full-width opening double-glazed windows define the expansive open-plan living and dining areas, flowing seamlessly through full-width double-glazed sliding doors to a substantial east-facing, full-width terrace. This exceptional three-bedroom residence is a sophisticated, fully transformed interior of impressive scale and quality, creating a sense of understated luxury. Designed equally for everyday living and entertaining, the expansive kitchen is a standout feature, centred around large Caesarstone bench tops, SMEG gas cooktop and electric oven, Miele dishwasher, extensive storage, and, further features a butler's pantry/laundry opening off the kitchen. The kitchen's generous proportions integrate effortlessly with the living and dining spaces, creating a sophisticated social hub at the heart of the home.

Positioned moments from the renowned cafes, restaurants, wine bars, galleries and boutiques of Langridge, Derby, Smith, Gertrude and Brunswick Streets, the apartment places the very best of Melbourne's inner north immediately at hand. The CBD and Exhibition building are only minutes away, with effortless access to the MCG, Rod Laver Arena and Melbourne Park adding further appeal for those seeking the ultimate combination of heritage character, lifestyle and city connectivity.
