1 room apartment of 1666m² in Docklands

This exceptional dual-level residence effortlessly blends contemporary design with the charm of 19th-century architecture, set within one of Melbourne's most historic and iconic buildings. Part of the celebrated 'The Grand' complex, just on the edge of the CBD, this thoughtfully renovated home harmonises period character with modern style. The Grand has a rich history dating back to the 1830s, originally the site of Melbourne pioneer John Batman's residence. The existing building, completed in the late 1800s as railway offices, retains extraordinary original features, including a grand red-carpeted staircase, soaring ceilings, and expansive hallways that lead into the apartment itself. Inside, striking timber floors extend through the entrance into a loft-style living area, complete with 6m-high arched sash windows and defined zones for both lounging and dining. The kitchen is a statement of luxury, featuring marble benchtops and high-end appliances, including an induction cooktop. Upstairs, the bedroom offers built-in robes and a stylish ensuite, providing both comfort and privacy. Additional features include a dedicated downstairs laundry, ducted heating and cooling, custom double-glazed windows for tranquillity and secure intercom. Residents also enjoy access to The Grand's exceptional amenities: a swimming pool with retractable glass roof, spa, sauna, gym, two courtyards with BBQ facilities, and an on-site building manager. Ideally positioned on the city's edge, the location offers immediate access to Melbourne's vibrant dining, entertainment, and shopping precincts. Southbank Promenade, Crown Casino, Batman Park, South Wharf, South Melbourne Market, Marvel Stadium, free trams, and Southern Cross Station are all within easy reach, making this residence a perfect blend of lifestyle, history, and convenience. Inner-city hotspot Docklands has transformed from a maritime centre into a sleek new waterfront district on the city’s western edge that has all of Melbourne buzzing. From funky street art to large sporting stadiums, to on-trend shopping districts, Docklands has fast-tracked its way to being one of Melbourne’s top-rated entertainment and dining districts.
