What We Love
Hidden on a private lane in the heart of Surry Hills, is a rare warehouse conversion that feels less like a holiday rental and more like a beautifully designed private home with its own dedicated entrance.
Occupying an oversized 105sqm within the footprint of the original ACME paper box factory, the apartment has been completely reimagined by an architect to balance raw warehouse character with refined, high-end living. Original concrete beams and exposed brickwork sit alongside warm oak joinery, custom lighting, natural stone, Venetian plaster, curated furnishings and original artworks. Unlike many inner-city apartments, arrival here is completely seamless. From the moment you step inside, the residence is quiet, private and entirely self-contained.
The living area flows effortlessly between kitchen, dining and lounge spaces, creating a home equally suited to slow mornings, leisurely cooking, remote work or relaxed evenings in. At the centre of the home is a dramatic designer kitchen wrapped in richly veined red marble, with matching stone island, integrated appliances and living brass fixtures. Overhead solar skylights wash the space in natural light throughout the day, while soft sheer curtains and warm timber tones create a calm, understated atmosphere across the open-plan living and dining spaces. Not a sparse rental, the apartment has been appointed as a home away from home with thoughtful details throughout - coffee machines, books, board games, hotel-quality linen and luxurious amenities offer a comfortable space designed for short and long stays alike.
The master bedroom is a warm and private retreat featuring a king bed, integrated lighting, TV, oversized built-in robes, green outlook and ceiling fan. The second bedroom has been designed as a flexible multi-purpose space with black-framed reeded glass doors, custom oak joinery, built-in desk and a concealed queen Murphy bed that transforms seamlessly between study and bedroom. The bathroom continues the same elevated material palette, featuring Venetian plaster walls, marble vanity, oak joinery, brass fittings and a skylit walk-in rain shower overlooking a lush planted garden bed.
Perfectly positioned in Surry Hills, you are quite literally in the best part of the lively suburb - moments from Crown Street, Bourke Street, Oxford Street and some of Sydney’s best cafés, wine bars, restaurants and boutiques. Despite being in the centre of everything, the apartment itself is calm, grounded and quietly luxurious.
