6 Emerald Way, South Melbourne, Vic 3205

Designed by award-winning Sydney-based architectural firm Dale Jones Evans Architecture, this incredibly chic, light-filled and expansive warehouse conversion offers exceptional studio/live-in flexibility, secure garaging and remarkable privacy in a prime inner-city setting. Spanning approximately 160sqm, breathtaking triple-height voids and raw Oregon trusses lend extraordinary height and drama to the interior, while vast glazing carries light and air deep into the home and amplifies its gallery-like openness.

Beneath the soaring ceiling line, open-plan living and dining make full use of the voluminous proportions, with a substantial entertainer’s kitchen appointed with stone benchtops and Electrolux appliances. The deep tandem garage and studio zone is a major asset, with an ensuite and European laundry, and the versatility to serve as a third bedroom or guest suite, an independently accessed home office, a living area, or secure parking with dedicated gym space. The first mezzanine opens directly to an enormous private deck, extending the interior into a sun-drenched open-air entertaining domain with ample room for a barbecue, outdoor furniture and relaxed entertainment. The adjoining bedroom also opens to the deck and includes built-in robes, while a bathroom with a Roman bath and light-well courtyard serves the level. Rising above, the spectacular main bedroom occupies the upper floor under vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, with expanses of glass softened by full-height custom sheers.

Additional features include split-system air conditioning, keyless entry, electric blinds, and ample storage, all within a short walk of Clarendon Street, South Melbourne Market, Eastern Reserve, and trams, with Albert Park Lake, the Royal Botanic Gardens, the beach, major arterials, and the CBD all just moments away.
