A Divine Church Conversion in Brunswick West: A Masterpiece of History and Contemporary Design

94 m² Interiors | 251 m² Land

Once a historic church, this remarkable red-brick conversion is now a unique 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom townhome, offering a rare blend of authentic period allure and modern living.

Its striking Gothic façade, with elegant lancet windows and intricate brickwork captures attention and exudes timelessness. A plaque laid in 1930 adds to its historical significance.

Ground Floor: Step through the grand, oversized entry door, retaining its Gothic arch, into an airy, light-filled living space. The soaring 6.5 meter vaulted ceilings-echoing its heritage-create a dramatic sense of openness. Statement pendant lights hang from above, drawing attention to the breathtaking height.

The living and dining areas flow seamlessly into the private courtyard, framed by elegant lancet windows set against the rich red-brick exterior. This serene space, bordered by low lush planting, is ideal for quiet morning coffee or outdoor entertaining.

The dining area leads to a chef's kitchen that will delight the most discerning cooks. Premium ILVE stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove and oven, are complemented by a BOSCH dishwasher and twin sinks. Ample cabinetry and storage ensure every culinary tool has its place. The central bathroom, with an oversized walk-in shower, gleams with contemporary style, while a discreet European laundry adds convenience. Step outside to find your designated parking space and a separate gated parcel large enough for a caravan, boat, or future double car garage (STCA), providing both flexibility and possibility.

Upper Floor: Ascend the floating timber staircase to discover a private sanctuary. Both bedrooms, with soft plush carpets and mirrored built-in robes, feature pitched cathedral ceilings and lancet windows, lending a refined and serene atmosphere. A central bathroom and a separate powder room add further comfort.

Added Features:

• Split systems throughout

• Polished solid timber floors downstairs

• Water tank

• Designated parking for 2 x cars + plenty of street parking

• Additional parcel of land at rear, suitable to build future double car garage or guest house STCA
