The $1.2 million Melbourne home that you can talk to

A high-end warehouse conversion where Siri is at your beck and call could be yours.

The urban abode at 2a/156 George Street in Melbourne’s trendy suburb of Fitzroy has charged onto the market, and is tech savvy with its smart home electronic system.

With price hopes of $1.2 million, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom property allows you to use Apple’s voice assistant Siri to control the home’s functionality and ambience.

“Technology abounds with a smart home electronic system where Siri closes the blinds, turns off the lights from your phone app, or three panels that control the ambience of every room,” the listing by Belle Property Carlton states.

Those that want to take the idea of a smart home to the next level can make use of the home’s modern version of a petrol station with in-built Tesla charger, should they have – or wish to acquire – an electric car.

The home’s aesthetic takes on a New York City loft vibe with high, exposed concrete ceilings, floorboards, floor-to-ceiling glass doors and marble accents in the bathrooms.

A standout design element in the kitchen is the glass splash back with an image of St Kilda Pier, which ties in with the chic grey cabinetry and top-notch appliances.

Bonuses of the home’s layout include two working-from-home zones, should the buyer wish to perfect their Zoom backdrop, and an enclosed terrace for entertaining.

Domain’s latest data reveals the median price for a two-bedroom unit in Fitzroy is $826,000.

Fitzroy, an eclectic locale known for its bars, restaurants, laneways and terrace homes, has a population of 10,453 and an average age demographic of 20 to 39 years.
