Summary:

Iconic Whole-Floor Heritage Warehouse style Apartment with Secure Garage Parking in central Surry Hills location



The Space:

Occupying the entire second floor of the iconic heritage Edwards & Co Ltd building, The Second is a curated residence and long-term urban sanctuary in Sydney’s vibrant Surry Hills neighbourhood. Masterfully reinterpreted into residential living by acclaimed Australian architect Iain Halliday, this vast century-old warehouse loft seamlessly blends architecture, art, and timeless design. Bathed in eastern sunlight from floor-to-ceiling windows, the space offers an elevated long-stay retreat for discerning guests, featuring a rotating gallery of original artworks alongside vintage and contemporary furnishings.



Access the residence directly via secure private lift entry into one of only five whole-floor apartments in the building. Soaring five-metre ceilings, exposed timber columns, and an expansive mirrored wall create an extraordinary sense of volume and light for extended living. At the heart of the open-plan domain, a custom-built 20-seat Carrara marble dining table anchors the space. A hidden media room is cleverly tucked inside the original warehouse safe, perfect for quiet evenings or working from home. The ground floor accommodates an architecturally curved queen bedroom and a central bathroom. The upper level is cleverly divided into two private mezzanine wings, each reached via its own independent staircase on opposite sides of the apartment. On one wing, a dedicated staircase leads up to the private master king suite, complete with air conditioning and an ensuite shower bathroom. On the opposing side of the residence, a second staircase ascends to a two-bedroom guest wing featuring a queen bedroom with air conditioning that connects directly through to an adjoining fourth queen bedroom. Complete with a secure undercover garage space suited to a small city car.



Situated on Foster Street, named one of the Top 30 Coolest Streets in the World by Time Out, The Second places you at the epicenter of Sydney's culinary and creative culture. Step outside your front door to world-famous coffee at Single O, daily pastries from AP Bakery, and natural wines at Bar Copains, Paramount House Hotel, or Bessie and Alma's. Ideal for corporate relocations and extended city stays, you are an effortless 10-minute walk to Sydney CBD, 5 minutes to Central Station, and within a short stroll to Belmore Park, Crown Street's boutique shopping precinct, and the Surry Hills Light Rail stop.
