Big on space, serene in outlook and wrapped in greenery, this substantial residence inside the iconic Park Avenue Towers feels a long way removed from everyday apartment living. It reads more like a private retreat in the middle of the city, where light, air and landscape quietly shape the way you live, equally comfortable to enjoy now or enhance over time.
A dedicated entry hall first leads to a generously sized main bedroom with built-in robes and ensuite, followed by a second bedroom that also enjoys its own ensuite access. It's a flexible setup that suits professionals, sharers, guests or anyone wanting separation between sleeping and living zones.
The living and dining domain unfolds on an impressive scale, wrapping around a kitchen with dishwasher and breakfast bar. Oversized windows frame leafy aspects and draw in soft natural light, plus there's space for a study nook on the side. Two sets of sliding doors extend the interior to a full-width, covered balcony where you can look down to the swimming pool and across to parkland, with western light and wide-reaching northern and southern aspects combining to create a wonderful feeling of openness.
A guest powder room, separate laundry, air conditioner and a secure car space complete the practical side. A heated pool is not something you find in every city complex, and here it sits alongside landscaped gardens, secure intercom entry and an on-site manager.
Royal Park Golf Course sits directly opposite, while Princes Park, Melbourne Zoo and kilometres of walking and cycling trails are all close by. Royal Parade trams and Royal Park Station provide easy access to the CBD, and Sydney Road's cafés, bars and restaurants, Barkly Square Shopping Centre, the University of Melbourne and the hospital precinct are all within easy reach. Zoning for Princes Hill Primary and Secondary School adds family appeal.
