Overview

Edward Billson's "Montalto" Spacious Art Deco in an Exceptional Setting

Occupying an exceptional position between Fawkner Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens, "Montalto" combines the space, privacy and craftsmanship of a fine Art Deco residence within one of South Yarra's most desirable settings The Kings Domain. Amongst Melbourne's most distinctive Art Deco apartment buildings, "Montalto" was designed in the 1930s by renowned architect Edward Billson, whose mastery of apartment planning is evident throughout. Billson himself lived here, and the building remains admired for its elegant proportions, intricate brickwork and assured architectural detail. Residence 6 showcases the intelligence of that design. An ingenious half-floor arrangement gives each of Montalto's six residences the feeling of occupying its own level, with minimal common walls and exceptional privacy. High ceilings, generous proportions and windows with multiple aspects create an uncommon sense of space, light and separation. The residence has been carefully renovated with clear respect for its period origins. Original French-polished timber doors and windows, ornate ceilings and fine timber detailing have been retained and enhanced, while a contemporary kitchen with Bosch appliances and stone benches, together with two stylish bathrooms, provide modern amenity. A broad skylit entrance hall leads to the expansive living and dining room with gas log fire and an enclosable balcony overlooks leafy surrounds. Two remarkably generous bedrooms are complemented by a third bedroom or study, providing flexibility for guests or working from home. Excellent storage, laundry and a lock-up garage add to the apartment's practicality. It is a delightful walk through the Royal Botanic Gardens and surrounding parkland towards the city, while Domain Road, Toorak Road, Anzac Station, cafés and restaurants are all close at hand. Residence 6 offers a rare combination of architectural character, generous space, privacy and an exceptional inner-Melbourne setting.
