Beautifully reimagined to blend heritage character with contemporary style, this architecturally designed townhouse is one of only two residences tucked within an iconic c1880s Collingwood building. Perfectly positioned moments from vibrant Smith Street, the home captures the very best of city-fringe living, surrounded by acclaimed restaurants, bars, cafés and local attractions.
Spanning approximately 150 square metres, the residence showcases impressive architectural detail throughout. A vast open-plan dining zone is complemented by a sleek gourmet kitchen featuring waterfall stone benchtops, soaring ceilings and clerestory windows that flood the interiors with natural light. The adjoining living area enjoys a private, comfortable layout and opens onto a north-facing terrace with a leafy outlook.
The generously sized main suite occupies its own private level and includes a chic ensuite, walk-in robe, built-in robes and private balcony. A second bedroom is serviced by the stylish main bathroom, complete with a stone-clad soaker tub. A mezzanine home office provides an ideal work-from-home space or optional third bedroom, while a separate laundry, excellent storage, utilities room and secure remote garage for a car add further practicality.
Additional features include heating, air conditioning and polished timber floors throughout. Completing this exceptional offering is its unbeatable location within walking distance of Smith Street, Gertrude Street and Brunswick Street's renowned restaurants, bars, cafés, trams and local markets, delivering an outstanding inner-city lifestyle.

Location
Where is 2/1A Stanley Street?
Stanley Street is a quiet, plane-tree-lined street in Collingwood, about 3 km north-east of the Melbourne CBD in the City of Yarra. The western end of the street meets Smith Street, so the tram, the cafés and the bars are a short stroll rather than a drive.

Walking and tram times are Google Maps estimates taken in September 2026 and will vary. Routes 109 and 12 also run along Victoria Parade, the suburb's southern edge.
Collingwood is one of Melbourne's oldest suburbs, declared a municipality in 1855, and its 19th-century industrial and civic buildings now house cafés, studios, showrooms and homes such as this one. Smith Street, which forms the suburb's western boundary with Fitzroy, was named the coolest street in the world by Time Out in 2021 for its restaurants, bars, live music and independent retail.
From Stanley Street you can walk to Smith Street, Gertrude Street and Brunswick Street, the Collingwood Yards arts precinct, and on to the Fitzroy Gardens and the MCG precinct. The Yarra River trails, Abbotsford Convent and the Collingwood Children's Farm sit a little further east.

The living area opens onto a north-facing terrace with a leafy plane-tree outlook, and the main bedroom has a second, private balcony on the lower level.
Who is this home suited to?
Buyers who want inner-city Melbourne without an apartment tower: couples or small families after two bedrooms plus a proper work-from-home space, downsizers who want one neighbour rather than fifty, professionals who want to walk to Smith Street and tram to the CBD, and investors looking for an architecturally distinctive Collingwood townhouse with a garage. The mezzanine gives flexibility as a study, guest room or third bedroom.

The price guide of $1,700,000 to $1,800,000 sits above the Collingwood median house price of about $1.3 million reported by the REIV on the Jellis Craig listing in May 2026. The difference reflects approximately 150 square metres over four levels, two bathrooms, a garage, two outdoor spaces and an architect-designed fit-out inside a c1880s building shared with only one other residence.
