The Coach House
A historic coach house, reborn
The Coach House is a heritage terrace at 400 Albert Street, East Melbourne, restored with close attention to its original detail and built around wellness and everyday comfort. The ground floor runs from the kitchen through the formal living and dining rooms to a small, secluded wine room. Upstairs, the primary suite looks straight out to St Patrick's Cathedral, a view few East Melbourne homes can match.
The home has a private sauna and steam room and a large activity room for exercise, play or hobbies. The open-plan living area is anchored by a spiral staircase, with clean architectural lines and solid, sculptural volumes. In the kitchen and dining area, marble is used sparingly and symmetrically, and a pedestal basin cut from a single block of marble is a standout in the bathroom.
The property takes its name from the original coach house in the grounds, which has been converted into a wellness retreat with its own private sauna. The oldest part of the site now serves a modern purpose, and the overall result is a refined home that favours substance over show.
Kelkap is currently progressing a new boutique residential redevelopment opportunity in East Melbourne — one of Melbourne’s most prestigious and supply-constrained inner-city locations. The project follows the same proven investment approach utilised across prior Windsor and Albert Park developments.
