This chic industrial dwelling is the former boiler room for the Farmers Trading Company’s furniture factory. All the timber was dried here and supplied to the adjacent warehouse and workshop.
Built in the 1940s and first converted in the 1990s, this revitalised space has been a much-loved home to a passionate and creative family for over 22 years. A well-known local icon, the building provides a unique vibe and over the past two decades has seen lots of life, change and loving care. The current owners feel like true custodians of this historic property and are now looking to pass on this honoured ownership.
There is so much to cherish; a whopping five metre stud in the open plan dining area, and over three metres in the lounge – life in these spaces will never feel cramped. An original George Courts wall clock, a Tom Dixon steel pendant, and other character details add to the charm. The integrity and character of this historic building has been maintained with steel windows, cavity brick, concrete pillars and beams, timeless graffiti and scorch marks from the old furnace. The split levels provide the perfect gallery space for those who love interesting spaces and appreciate the arts and a creative environment. Up on the rooftop the spacious deck is the perfect space to enjoy the sun or share an evening refreshment with friends. This home is a fabulous entertainment hub.
With no connecting neighbours above or below this unique home presents urban living with a difference. Living spaces roll out over three levels plus the rooftop terrace, and the generous storage, car parks and security, all add up to provide a highly functional space offering a multitude of living dynamics.
As an evolving space, it provides comfortable living now and options to add your own personality to enhance this historical site.
