Converted corner shop becomes South Melbourne

This 1860s converted shop and adjoining stables sold in South Melbourne at weekend auction for $2.18 million.

It last traded at $1.13 million in 2007.

Set on a 200 sq m block, the recently renovated two story property at 315 Moray Street was marketed as having had a chic residential update.

Its fireplaces and lofty ceilings remain in a minimalist, modern polish finish.

Bifold doors to the rear deck and courtyard connect the kitchen and meals area.

The two storey former stables, with a private entry from Cobden Street, comprises a bedroom, bathroom, with open plan living/dining room.

Marshall White’s Justin Holod was expecting about $1.9 million.
