102/29 Market Street, Melbourne

Expressions of Interest - Closing on Tuesday, the 10th of June at 2 pm (Unless sold prior) An extraordinary opportunity to acquire a residence within one of Melbourne's most revered heritage landmarks, renowned for its magnificent foyer and enduring architectural grandeur. Masterfully blending historic elegance with contemporary sophistication, this apartment stands as one of the finest heritage offerings to enter the market in recent years. Bathed in soft natural light from its prized south-facing orientation, the residence immediately captivates with soaring four-metre ceilings that enhance its grand proportions. Triple-glazed windows ensure superior thermal comfort and complete insulation from the city's bustle, while solid 70-centimetre-thick walls provide exceptional climate stability throughout the year. A serene, leafy outlook across the Immigration Museum's landscaped courtyard further elevates the sense of quiet luxury within. Occupying approximately 90 square metres, the apartment's layout is defined by an intuitive sense of space and proportion. The kitchen is anchored by a striking three-metre-long stone bench and enhanced by premium solid timber flooring, creating a timeless foundation for refined living. The historic Port Authority Building, neighbouring the Customs House and Immigration Museum, commands a coveted position beside Queens Bridge - the site of Melbourne's original port and a place of profound Indigenous significance. Originally converted to boutique residences in 2000, the building has been meticulously maintained, with no cladding issues, and continues to offer a lifestyle of rare peace and prestige within the city's heart. The residence itself benefits from a central tempered air system and underwent an architect-led, full-scale renovation and floorplan transformation in 2019. In 2022, bathrooms were further refined by Rosemount Kitchens, featuring bespoke Blue Agave-inspired design, premium Australian-made Strommen tapware, and Italian-imported sinkware and fittings. Situated just moments from the newly completed Market Street Park and within close proximity to the W Hotel precinct, this location also grants easy access to the vibrant offerings of Flinders Lane, where an abundance of dining, shopping, and entertainment options await. Please note: - The apartment does not include a car space, balcony, individual air-conditioning system, gymnasium, or rooftop garden. However, two levels of basement parking beneath the building provide the opportunity to potentially secure rental parking if desired. - Outgoings are approximately $6,000 per annum for the Owners Corporation and $1897 per annum for Council Rates. - A strong community of owner-occupiers and a highly engaged Owners Corporation ensure the ongoing care and presentation of this distinguished address. A residence for those who appreciate craftsmanship, heritage, and understated luxury, set within one of Melbourne's most iconic and historically significant addresses.
