Superbly renovated and rich in character, this beautiful ground floor two bedroom apartment within the iconic Clendon Court building captures the very essence of refined Art Deco living. Designed in the 1930s by celebrated architect Stuart Hall, it stands as one of Stonnington’s most distinguished examples of Streamline and Jazz Moderne architecture. Accessed from peaceful Lalbert Crescent and sharing a private entry with only three others, the apartment celebrates its Art Deco soul with polished original hardwood floors, curved walls and ornate cornices.
With its open fireplace and full-length sheers, the living/dining room flows effortlessly through French doors to a secure limestone-paved courtyard drenched in northern light, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection ideal for entertaining or quiet retreat under the shade of mature palm trees.
The custom-designed kitchen pairs timeless craftsmanship with premium European appliances including a Smeg Victoria 90cm oven as its centrepiece, Sirius undermount rangehood, Bosch Series 6 dishwasher and Franke double sink. The result is a show-stopping entertainer’s kitchen that blends style and function - with custom cabinetry, dual pantries for effortless entertaining, and a smart layout.
The bespoke bathroom brings serious style with striking emerald green tiles and luxe touches including underfloor heating, brushed brass fixtures, a custom mirrored cabinet with built-in outlets, Euro laundry and clever storage solutions, make it as functional as it is fabulous.
Each double bedroom is beautifully appointed with floor-to-ceiling custom robes, ceiling fans and block out blinds and main with full-length sheers, ensuring restful privacy and a sense of calming ambience.
Split-system heating and cooling, ample storage, intercom security and access to the communal terrace complete an apartment of rare comfort and character. Also noteworthy, the owners’ committee are exploring a potential enhancement of the rooftop area with city views into another communal space, pending a formal owners’ vote for approval.
Clendon Court itself remains a celebrated architectural landmark, admired for its sculptural ziggurat-style tower, chevron and geometric ornamentation, tapestry brickwork, steel-framed windows and curved glass detailing. Surrounded by landscaped gardens and graceful palm trees, it continues to embody the enduring appeal of the Art Deco era.
Perfectly placed within walking distance of Toorak and Armadale stations, High Street and Dandenong Road trams and Toorak Park. Within minutes’ walk to local boutiques, restaurants and cafes along High Street Armadale, South Yarra, Hawksburn and Toorak village.
This is more than an apartment; it is a piece of Stonnington’s architectural story, thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living.
