Overview

A Mid-Century Hideaway in Melbourne's Most Treasured Pocket

Tucked between the manicured lawns of Fawkner Park and the lush wonder of the Royal Botanic Gardens lies a secret, a beautifully updated 1960s apartment that captures the spirit of old Melbourne, right in the beating heart of the Domain precinct. This is where lifestyle meets legacy. Down a quiet, tree-lined street in one of South Yarra's most tightly held enclaves, a light-filled and humble abode awaits, full of charm and character. From your doorstep, you're just moments from the city's greenest expanses and most iconic destinations. Morning jogs through the Tan. Sunset strolls around the lake. Coffee catchups at Gilson. This is the rhythm of Domain Precinct living. Sunlight spills through expansive windows, framing views of your very own on-title green front yard, a rare luxury in this part of town, just waiting for a herb garden or a home for your beloved plants. The kitchen is a thoughtful blend of modern style and functionality, with generous storage that makes everyday cooking feel effortless plus laundry facilities for added convenience. The bedroom is spacious and serene, complete with built-in robes, while the bathroom has been tastefully renovated for comfort and privacy. With split system heating and cooling, a secure entry, intercom, and off-street parking, every detail here has been considered for ease and peace of mind. But what truly sets this home apart is its location. A short walk brings you to South Yarra Station or the Domain tram for an easy city commute. Prefer the scenic route? Wander to the MCG through the gardens, or lose yourself in the cafes, boutiques, and fine dining of nearby Toorak Road and Domain Road. Whether you're a first-time buyer, an investor, or simply someone who understands the value of a rare find - this apartment offers more than just a place to live. It's a slice of South Yarra's soul. A timeless sanctuary in Melbourne's most coveted precinct.
