2-4 Spink St, Brighton, is a rare warehouse conversion in the suburb.
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.

Exposed brickwork rings the courtyard attached to the home’s games room and bar.
The former warehouse in Brighton was once a knitting mill.
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.
Polished floorboards and high ceilings add to the edgy vibe in the home’s main living zones.
The sprawling kitchen has a high-end industrial vibe with brickwork outside, and polished stone surfaces and mirrored splashbacks within.
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.
Open-plan design provides for light-filled living in the home’s top floor.
The home’s differences are obvious from the front door onwards.
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.
