Elwood’s Most Iconic Warehouse Conversion

Few properties capture Melbourne’s industrial legacy quite like this exceptional two-bedroom warehouse conversion within Elwood’s former Hat Factory. A landmark milliner’s building and one of the last remaining residences of its kind along this prized inner-south stretch, it has been carefully renovated whilst respecting its DNA, delivering complete separation from the rest of the complex, with an independent iron-gated entry.
Ceilings soaring to over five metres, original hardwood floors and exposed brickwork give the interiors an immediate impact, augmented by the authenticity and warmth of its past. Sun-filled space is laid out for easy living, with the main zones benefiting from the towering proportions and direct terrace access, opening outdoors to maximise light, air flow and seclusion from the outside world. A luxurious as-new kitchen forms a natural continuation of the living area, pairing Tundra marble benchtops with a Bertazzoni gas cooktop and a Westinghouse air fryer oven. A 2.8 metre island bench and generous 2Pac cabinetry, all arranged to enhance the indoor-outdoor flow.
A custom steel staircase leads to the loft-style main bedroom, awash with natural light and with integrated storage, while a secondary mezzanine serves as a study or library, complemented by a private second bedroom with terrace access, a chic central bathroom and a European laundry. Complete with split-system air-conditioning in living and bedroom, substantial 6.6m-deep* storage within the external stairwell and secure parking for two, it offers an undeniably rare chance to carry on a legacy. Café’s, renowned restaurants, wellness centre and trams on the doorstep, excellent schools such as St Kilda Primary steps away and Carlisle Street dining, the beach and St Kilda Botanical Gardens all within walking distance, this lifestyle-rich retreat is discreet and convenient beyond compare.
