Inspect strictly by appointment onlyIn the late 1970s, the idea of converting industrial buildings into residential spaces was virtually unheard of. But on Millswyn Street in South Yarra, architects Andrew Reed, Len Hayball, and Graeme Gunn broke new ground by transforming the former Maples Furniture warehouse into one of Melbourne’s first warehouse-to-apartment conversions. Today, the Maples Apartments are among South Yarra’s most coveted addresses—celebrated for their expansive layouts, prime location near the Royal Botanic Gardens, and timeless architectural design.This ground-floor New York-style loft apartment spans approximately 230sqm and enjoys a lush, north-facing outlook over a beautifully maintained communal garden. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features three spacious bedrooms, a large living area with two distinct zones, a dining space adjacent to a sleek galley kitchen, and a dedicated butler’s area. Character-rich original features include bagged white walls, parquetry flooring, and custom timber joinery throughout the bedrooms and bathrooms. Additional highlights include two secure car spaces, a generous basement storage room, and access to a shared outdoor pool.
