A gloriously converted slice of Brunswick’s landmark gas retort house, completed in 1891 and later home to the Lux Foundry, this superbly presented two bedroom residence and business premises (zoned Mixed Use) impeccably combines fashionable living with exciting commercial possibilities in a desirable locale. Adjoining the popular Lux Foundry Cafe, the property has its own street frontage and intercom entrance. The front door leads into a smart presentation area, and beyond a glass wall the spacious professional suite comes with a full bathroom and direct access to the secure car park. Ascend the stairs to the central floor to find an enormous living/dining room with sleek polished concrete flooring, capable of hosting 60 people and currently utilised for dinner parties, seminars, photo shoots and home theatre with inbuilt screen and projector. The dining domain flows into the stunning, fully equipped kitchen, no doubt the site of many culinary triumphs. A huge Bertazzoni stove with six-burner gas cooktop and electric oven takes pride of place, complemented by a canopy rangehood, Miele dishwasher, pantry, stainless steel benches and splashbacks. A landing provides an elevated viewing area above the kitchen, and there is also a convenient powder room adjoining the dining area. Ascend the stairs once more to the apex of the building, where two stylish mezzanine bedrooms share a walk-in robe and chic bathroom, complete with a shower, toilet, basin and mirrored cabinet. The building offers remote-controlled heating and cooling, and the property is beautifully suited to a myriad of uses, including art gallery, seminar space, office and cooking school, and easily adaptable to consulting rooms or similar (subject to council approval). Three secure car spaces are also included, two of which are fully covered, and the prime position is within a stroll of trains, trams, parks and the thriving establishments of Sydney Road. Achieve the ideal work/life balance you’ve always dreamed of and embrace this exceptional opportunity!
