5 Goodwin Street, Richmond, Vic 3121

Building on industrial foundations laid over a century ago, this extraordinary conversion of a c1923 warehouse exhibits flair, flexibility, and exceptional functionality, placed among a prestige pocket skirting the Yarra River. Red brick and steel frame glass see a preserved façade pay homage to blue collar roots, with a brilliant transformation spanning three luxe levels. A rarity so close to the city, a remote controlled garage comfortably houses four cars alongside bikes and storage, flanked by a sizeable study/sitting room, marble laced bathroom with integrated laundry, and robe lined master bedroom with feature skylight. Their Jarrah boards recycled from the original factory, double basketweave parquetry and a towering cathedral ceiling gift a sense of depth and airiness to a magnificent second storey, with a vast, open living/dining space integrating an AEG/Neff kitchen and window retreat ideal for Sundays lost in a novel. Mezzanine second and third bedrooms soar above hospitality areas, with a light filled guest room’s built in robes and private ensuite perfect accompaniments to a terrace taking in sweeping sights. With highlights including hydronic heating, evaporative air conditioning, ceiling fans, video intercoms, and louvres for clever cross ventilation, it’s mere footsteps to Barkly Gardens, trams and trains, and the boutiques, bars, and brunch spots of iconic Church, Swan, and Chapel Streets.
