The townhouse is one of four which have been fashioned from the old North Melbourne Masonic Lodge. The materials include bare and painted brick, bluestone walls and exposed steel.

The bluestone walls date from 1855 while the flooring
comprises baltic pine, kauri pine and oak timbers.

The flooring is bordered by glazed ballustrading and complemented by overhead oregon trusses.

Framed by the building’s original walls, the townhouse offers northerly views while skylights deliver backlighting over the stairwell.

The living and dining area, which is dominated by a high ceiling, is adjacent to the kitchen while the mezzanine/study zone is wired for data, which is a real bonus in this tenchology-driven era.

Other notable features include a concealed laundry, reverse-cycle airconditioning, a 1.5kw solar power system and double glazing.

Nelson Alexander director James Keenan describes the townhouse as “a real warehouse living property”.

“And it is in a price range in which these sorts of properties are not normally in,” Mr Keenan says.

The Nelson Alexander director says the townhouse has a number of elements which make it 
stand out from the pack.

“It is offering recycled materials, and it has real conservation and green attributes together with a warehouse feel. There is real sustainability in this property.”

He adds the builder has gone to great lengths to preserve the bluestone walls and the trusses.

Mr Keenan says the townhouse’s “very urban” location means the new owner will not have to operate a car because he or she can walk or take public transport to Melbourne’s central business district, the Docklands precinct and Etihad Stadium. And Errol Street’s bars and restaurants are just a pleasant stroll from home.

Mr Keenan says the townhouse has attracted “very good interest”.
