42 Barkly Street, FITZROY NORTH VIC 3068
Superlative conversion design
This Neometro factory conversion achieves a seamless fusion of large-scale indoor and tranquil outdoor living areas. All the main rooms have views to paved and landscaped courtyard areas to the front and rear, while the main bedroom opens to an extensive timber deck. The airiness of the residence is enhanced by cleverly conceived sight lines between upper and lower levels. Entry from the front courtyard, with roll-a-door access to a secure parking area, is to a magnificent L-shaped living and dining area with polished timber floors and a soaring two-level ceiling. The central staircase provides separation from the kitchen - superbly finished in timber and stainless steel, with integrated wine refrigeration - and from the laundry and powder room. At the front of the house is a home office, with a separate entry to Barkly Street; this attractive space could be used as a fourth bedroom.
On the upper level, the vast main bedroom has a dressing room and elegant ensuite with separate WC. Its semi-elliptical ceiling pays recognition to the building's industrial origins. A well-lit tiled bathroom and storage area separates it from two further bedrooms overlooking the rear courtyard with its ultramarine-tiled water feature, and an open area with doors to a small balcony.
Including quality finishes, central heating and security entry, this remarkable property is located close to transport, parkland and cafes.
