About this home
Nicholson Street offers the ultimate Melbourne winter experience — a magnificent, art-filled bluestone residence that blends heritage charm with modern sophistication. Overlooking the World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building, this unique stay delivers a warm, atmospheric retreat in one of the city's most iconic locations. Step outside to catch a tram or enjoy a short five-minute walk into the CBD, where Melbourne's renowned winter dining, cafés, and culture await right at your doorstep. This one-of-a-kind bluestone converted residence, originally one of Melbourne's iconic 19th-century stables, has been transformed into a character-filled designer apartment, perfect for a cosy winter stay. A distinctive retro lounge showcases custom Australian artwork, vintage-inspired décor, and rich tones that create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while stunning, moody views from the lounge and dining area overlook the Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens, especially beautiful in winter light. The fully equipped chef's kitchen, with premium appliances and a stone island bench, is ideal for preparing warm meals or enjoying slow morning coffees. A luxurious master retreat on the top level offers a peaceful escape with a freestanding bath, private ensuite, and soft ambient lighting, reached via a sculptural spiral staircase that adds genuine architectural character to the home. The second bedroom sits on the entry level with its own full bathroom, ideal for couples, friends, or families sharing the space. A Smart TV in the main lounge offers access to all major streaming platforms for cosy nights in, and a sun-drenched communal courtyard, with a pergola walkway, feature lighting, and greenery, offers a peaceful space to enjoy the crisp winter air. Secured driveway parking for one vehicle is a rare and genuine convenience this close to central Melbourne, and family-friendly amenities including a port-a-cot and highchair are available on request. Moments from Melbourne Museum, Carlton Gardens, and the CBD, with trams, cafés, and restaurants all within easy reach, Nicholson Street is perfectly positioned for winter exploring — the tram stop right outside connects you easily across the city, including direct access to St Kilda Beach, Southern Cross Station, and Docklands.
