4/680 Victoria Street, North Melbourne.

Originally home to Unique Electrics, this Victoria Street landmark has carried its industrial bones into a second life as one of just eight in a boutique warehouse conversion. This dual-level home feels like it belongs in Manhattan, with soaring 3-metre ceilings, exposed brick, and the proportions of a building that was never designed as residential. The living and dining room, incorporating a built-in office station and copious cabinetry for generous storage, offers height, timber floorboards, and a window wall with sliding doors opening to a private decked balcony where exposed brick meets dark grey render. The kitchen is fitted with stainless-steel oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher, with a powder room and under-stair storage completing the level. Upstairs are two bedrooms with built-in robes. The bathroom is cleanly finished with white wall tiles and black floor tiles, plus there is the convenience of laundry facilities. Heating and cooling span both floors. A true point of difference is parking with two allocated car parks in an area where even one is hard to come by. In this locale, that's a huge bonus. Falling within the sought-after University High School zone and close to North Melbourne Primary School, with North Melbourne Station and multiple tram lines on the doorstep. Errol Street's cafes and village atmosphere are a short walk away, as are the Queen Victoria Market, the upcoming Arden Urban Renewal Precinct, Arden Street Oval, North Melbourne Recreation Centre, and the CBD itself. Authentic warehouse character paired with two car spaces. A combination rarely offered here.
