Industry edge: Your new favourite warehouse conversion is selling in Paddington for $8 million

Ladies and gentlemen, the bar for prestige industrial conversions has been raised. 

From the plain exterior, 6a Liverpool Street in Paddington looks like an ordinary warehouse, but slide away the front door and you’ll discover another world entirely. 

Show-stopping living spaces with soaring ceilings, exposed steel beams, polished concrete floors and original brickwork are all highlights of the extraordinary house.

The home spans three levels, and you can take your pick between the outdoor terraces.

There’s also a self-contained dwelling, which lends itself to multiple uses, and is also set up as business premises.

The open-plan kitchen, fitted with chef-grade appliances and a custom-designed concrete bench, would certainly work well for business or pleasure.

The property is within walking distance of Oxford Street and Five Ways, making it a lifestyle buy as well as a design collectable.

The Agency’s Ben Collier has scheduled a June 23 auction, setting the price guide at $8 million.
