The dual level design of this inviting apartment reflects the dynamism with which Arthur Blackett’s iconic c1914 Barkly Theatre was comprehensively updated by Metaxas Architects some 90 years later. A substantial open-plan living/dining domain is complemented by a kitchen featuring stone benches and stainless steel appliances while the entire upstairs space belongs to a beautiful bedroom where raked ceilings, an ensuite and built-in robes enhance the appeal of the proportions. A private balcony, heating/cooling, European laundry and downstairs powder-room deliver additional reason to enjoy. Stylish, kept constantly secure by CCTV and so central to absolutely everything Footscray has to offer, the Barkly Theatre still plays a starring local role.
