21 Joy Street
South Yarra

A sleek and stylish hideaway, right on the cusp of Hawksburn Village, this character-filled, single bedroom warehouse-style conversion is surprisingly large and fully secure with a sundrenched, north-facing alfresco flow and a highly treasured parking space at the front. From its origins as a circa-1900 stable to its current day re-purposing as a dynamic urban sanctuary, the home encapsulates all that we love about urban authenticity and South Yarra sophistication.

Crafted of solid brick, with an original circular window proudly intact, the home is set under a soaring vaulted ceiling with polished concrete flooring and two sets of double doors that extend open-plan living outdoors to a courtyard where the dreams of alfresco entertainers can be met in style. The kitchen is particularly evocative with stainless steel benches and appliances – including a Smeg cooktop – plus there is a superb skylit bathroom, a European laundry, built-in robes, sub-floor heating and split system heating / air conditioning.

A peaceful street just around the corner from Hawksburn opens up a lifestyle of refined café excellence, fine dining, bars, village vibes and easy city access by train or Malvern Road and Toorak Road trams, while all the thriving vibrancy of both Toorak Road and Chapel Street can be accessed by foot in just a few minutes.
