A “cool New York-style” warehouse conversion is rare around this upmarket off-Chapel spot, the agent says.

Commercial/residential zoning offers home-business potential for the versatile property, which is on its own title and includes two levels for living and two for bedrooms.

Edwardian-era romance is recreated in this single-level home, with a return verandah under gabled rooflines and a box-bay window seat in the front lounge room. The 2012 design is equally practical.
