Exposed brick, metal framed windows, a history as an old mill — this converted warehouse is the quintessential urban pad. Except it’s in Brighton, so there’s also a rooftop pool. Take a peek.

History meets desirable design at this Brighton warehouse conversion that started as a knitting mill.

Dating back to 1939, the three-storey brick industrial build also spent time as a yarn company and textiles factory.

But it’s hard to reconcile a hardworking history with the pool or the relaxed atmosphere present on the home’s rooftop.

The original metal-framed windows provide natural light, while polished concrete floors and exposed brick offer a nod to the past.

Warehouse conversions are so rare in Bayside Kay & Burton’s Alex Schiavo was unable to find comparable properties within 2km when pricing the 2-4 Spink St home.

A comprehensive, 460sq m floorplan is spread over the townhouse’s three lift-connected levels.

The top floor is an entertainer’s delight with an open-plan layout that includes a marble and stone-lined kitchen, a dining room and living zone.

The entire space looks out to a north-facing deck and pool perfect for warm weather.

The first floor hosts the home’s four bedrooms, all of them with a walk-in wardrobe and two of them with an ensuite bathroom — including the main which also has a private balcony.

A home office fills half of the ground floor and has a separate entrance on the home’s western side.

Sliding doors offer scope to expand or restrict the space as desired.

The other half of the level is given over to a double garage with sliding doors that connect it to a rumpus room with a bar, cellar, bathroom and a private courtyard.

Kay & Burton’s Alex Schiavo is handling the listing a short stroll from shops and Gardenvale station and said it was “one of a kind”.

“It’s in a great part of the world and it’s a very flexible floorplan,” Mr Schiavo said.

The home is expected to sell in the $4.75m-$4.9m range, with expressions of interest closing 5pm August 9.
