Spacious New York-inspired Loft Apartment in Historic Woolstore

A rare opportunity has come up to join a village community and live on the top floor of Newcastle’s architecturally designed, award-winning - and only remaining - Winchcombe Carson Woolstore Warehouse Apartment building (circa 1940, and refurbished in 2006). www.soquewarehouseapartments.com
This industrial-chic, New York inspired loft apartment offers exclusivity of location, stylish living and generous spaces making it a peaceful retreat for families, couples or singles. It has the added benefit of easy walking distance to parks, public transport and the dynamic, eclectic, café-, arts- and epicurean-lifestyle of Newcastle‘s vibrant city-fringe precinct, including Beaumont St Hamilton.
An East-facing, top-floor apartment is a rare find in this building. As such, this home has a coveted location, overlooking a quiet and featuring soaring ceilings, generous living spaces.
From the moment you enter the light-filled space, you’ll fall in love with the more-than double height ceiling which delivers a feeling of grandeur.
This spacious home has three large bedrooms finished in neutral tones, two bathrooms including an ensuite and walk-through robe from the master, and a generous mezzanine level. It also has two secure car spaces.
Situated on the mezzanine floor, separated from the living area by an internal staircase, the third bedroom has the option of extensive sky views or privacy thanks to the newly-installed internal blinds. This loft-area bedroom could be easily adapted for multi-purposes: a second living space, guest room and/or work-from-home office or study.
A generous combined living-and-dining area is bathed in natural sunlight, thanks to the clerestory windows that run the length of the apartment. With split system air conditioning, a recently installed oversized fan and a high-tech, German-designed air-extractor, this apartment caters to all seasons offering climate controlled living, effortless summer cooling and cosy warmth in winter.
An alfresco area extends the living zone outside, creating a greater sense of space. This balcony is an ideal place for all-weather entertaining thanks to its newly installed zip-track external blind, as well as offering a cosy, sunny spot for your morning coffee. The elevated height of the apartment provides both privacy and security; even when the apartment’s balcony doors are wide open to capture gentle tree-top views and breeze.
The well-appointed kitchen, complete with European appliances, features an island bench with plenty of seating-space, creating a multi-purpose environment for creating, baking, family meals or charcuterie-style entertaining.
The apartment comes complete with internal laundry washer/dryer, neatly located within the second bathroom.
It also features recently-installed ‘floating’ wooden floorboards throughout.
Accessible via two building lifts, as well as two wide-sweeping floor-to-ceiling wooden staircases. No more trudge to the garbage area, this apartment has the added convenience of fast-and-easy waste disposal via an internal chute a few short steps from your front door.
The convenient location of this apartment allows residents to move seamlessly between the cosmopolitan chic of Newcastle’s inner west precinct, into the prestige of an historic building with architectural character, style and elegance as well as the luxury of an on-site café (Milford Espresso). A live-in building manager offers extra peace of mind in this community-minded, pet-friendly complex and apartment.
