Overview

Iconic Deco Pedigree, Lifestyle Rewards

Peacefully cast towards the rear of the iconic 'Clovelly' collection of just eight residences, this exquisite, warm and light-filled two bedroom Art Deco apartment was crafted in 1938 by the locally renowned architect Joseph Plotell. Beyond its Tudor Revival-styled roughcast render and gabled entrance bays, the home enjoys a first floor / top floor position where birdsong replaces traffic noise and spectacular sunsets filter through the treetops to deliver a sense of sanctuary that is more than surprising in such a vibrant setting. Introduced by a handsome front door of solid timber, the home opens to reveal a generous entrance with polished timber flooring and soaring detailed ceilings, as well as a generous lounge / dining room that is warmed by a roaring open fireplace. A semi-attached kitchen has been renovated to strike a thoughtful balance between new and old with induction cooking, timber benchtops and a farmhouse sink, while added highlights of this immaculately garden-set apartment include the year-round comfort of split system heating and air conditioning, parking near the front door and it has been completely re-wired for your peace-of-mind. Character, craftsmanship and a location that only improves with time as it allows you to wander to Inkerman or Carlisle Streets for your morning coffee or some weekend brunch, plus you have Chapel Street nearby for some nightlife vibrancy as well as trams on Dandenong Road, Carlisle and Chapel Streets with trains to the city readily available from Balaclava Railway Station.
