About this property
Set within a landmark of Melbourne’s industrial past, this light-filled apartment pairs heritage design with modern comfort—just a short walk from Smith Street’s trendy cafés, wine bars, and global flavours. A private courtyard, fully equipped kitchen, and cosy living area create inviting spaces for connection and relaxation. With a tram stop only three minutes away, connecting you to the CBD and beyond, this Collingwood retreat is a welcoming base for exploring Melbourne’s creative heart.
Step into Melbourne’s industrial past—reimagined for modern living—in this striking apartment within the heritage-listed Foy & Gibson warehouse. Behind its iconic red-brick façade, a spacious city retreat unfolds, where polished timber floors, soaring ceilings, and original details meet refined, contemporary comfort. The elevated living area forms the heart of the home, framed by exposed brick and filled with natural light. Split-system air conditioning and heating in the living area, plus a wall-mounted radiator, ensure year-round comfort.
Below, the open-plan kitchen and dining space is designed for both effortless entertaining and everyday ease. A generous stone island anchors the room, complemented by quality appliances including a gas stovetop, oven, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher. Thoughtful touches, like a French press, make slow mornings feel considered. The dining table seats eight, inviting long, relaxed meals.
Three bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned for comfort and privacy. The primary and second bedrooms feature queen beds, while the third offers a double and a quieter setting at the rear. The primary suite sits on the upper level with its own ensuite, while the second is conveniently located near the entry. Please note, the internal staircase leading to the primary bedroom may not suit guests with mobility concerns.
A private courtyard provides a quiet outdoor retreat, with seating and leafy surrounds—ideal for morning coffee or a moment to unwind. The main bathroom includes a full-sized soaking tub, separate shower, and natural light, with both bathrooms stocked with fresh towels and toiletries. A fully equipped laundry with washer, drying rack, iron, and hangers adds ease for longer stays. Enjoy the convenience of secure on-site parking for one car.

During your stay, you and your group will have the entire apartment to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
Step outside and you’re just a three-minute walk from the vibrant dining scene along Smith Street, where international flavours and Melbourne creativity come together. Enjoy Vietnamese street food at Xe Ôm, French bistro flair at Norma Fitzroy, modern fine dining at Ides, bold Korean plates at Pubcha, or classic Italian at Solo Pasta. If you prefer to cook at home, both Coles and Woolworths supermarkets are also located along Smith Street for easy grocery runs. For a dose of culture, the Melbourne Museum is just 1.3 km away, and Fitzroy Gardens—a historic and beautifully maintained green space—is an easy 11-minute walk. You’re also only three minutes on foot to the nearest tram stop, making it simple to explore the city and beyond with convenient public transport access.
