Summary: High-spec warehouse residence from award-winning builders
Description: Fronting John Street, this recently redeveloped two-level warehouse home stands as one of the area's most accomplished adaptive reuse projects. Now known as The Cake Factory in homage to its origins as a bakery more than 140 years ago, the building has lived many lives, remembered locally for biscuit and cake manufacturing before later evolving into an artist studio and creative workshop. Award-winning builders SQ Projects have reimagined the structure with exceptional restraint and intelligence, preserving its industrial soul while introducing a refined, high-spec residential transformation. Private street access, an internal garage and a generous open floorplan define the home, with interiors oriented around a completely secluded alfresco sundeck. Materiality is rich and tactile, combining Australian bluestone paving, hardwood decking, polished concrete and bespoke Blackbutt timber detailing with carefully selected stone and European finishes. Three well-separated bedrooms each enjoy integrated storage and their own dedicated bathroom, creating flexibility and privacy across both levels. Tucked quietly along the laneway yet moments from St Peters Station, King Street cafés and Sydney Park, it's a home of rare depth, character and connectivity, placing Newtown, Erskineville, Alexandria, the CBD and airport all within easy reach. Highlights * Developed by award-winning SQ Projects * Adaptive reuse retaining industrial character * 7 Star Energy Rating, air-con throughout * Iconic building known as The Cake Factory * Former bakery turned artist studio/workshop * Private street entry and internal garage * Soaring ceilings and north-facing glazing * Private alfresco sundeck & courtyard garden * Concrete floors, Blackbutt stairs and joinery * Australian bluestone paving, hardwood deck * Italian porcelain tiles and NZ wool carpets * Monte Rosso quartzite benches, Smeg fitout * 3 beds with own baths, u/floor heating to ensuite * Intercom, keyless entry, CCTV, EV provisions
