31 Stokes Street
Port Melbourne

Discover a blend of Manhattan elegance and historic charm in this expansive warehouse conversion, nestled just 80 metres from the bay within the heart of the former Swallow and Ariell biscuit factory. Soaring ceilings, preserved craftsmanship, and contemporary flair seamlessly merge the past with the present, crafting an exceptional lifestyle on the edge of Bay Street, with off-street parking for three, resort-style amenities and a private garden community where inner-city convenience meets beachside tranquillity.

Owning a prominent position within the main building, the home opens to high beamed ceilings, architectural lines and original factory flooring that lends an industrial edge to a brilliant modernised layout. A sitting room with oak floors on entry with a loft and integrated storage flows onto the sun-drenched kitchen and meals domain, where the steel and polished concrete flooring complements the stainless steel cabinetry and appliances, including a dishwasher, gas cooktop and oven. French doors connect to a leafy courtyard and the gardens beyond, offering access to a gym, outdoor pool and landscaped surroundings within the secure gated community.

Upstairs, a second living area sits beneath the breathtaking vaulted factory ceiling, introducing the main bedroom with an adjoining beautifully renovated bathroom, whilst further up, a second bedroom is uniquely set within the roofline, offering ample space and privacy with sky-lit ceilings. Within metres of the beach and a short walk to the light rail and Bay Street’s retail and dining scene, this extraordinary and tightly-held residence is truly one-of-a-kind. Highlights include a powder room, European laundry, electric heating, split system heating/cooling and secure parking for three.
