Bookseller Mark Rubbo, the founding chair of the Melbourne Writers Festival, and wife Wendy have sold their Fitzroy warehouse conversion.

They had $2.8 million to $3 million hopes for the property they bought as an empty shell in 2004.

They commissioned architect Maggie Edmond to adapt the property.

It has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a kitchen adjoining the open plan living space which flows to a north facing terrace.

The Little Victoria Street warehouse began life as a drill hall in the 1930s. 

Nelson Alexander Fitzroy agents Peter Stephens and Sonya Laferla handled the marketing.
