Set within the historic walls of the revered Art Deco building Kia Ora, crafted by Lewis Levy in 1936, this beautiful first floor two bedroom apartment, quietly located at the rear of the block, offers an enriched and elegant way of living beside the sweeping lawns of Fawkner Park. The apartment blends the grace of its era with thoughtful contemporary updates, creating a peaceful sanctuary in one of Melbourne's most admired park side pockets.
Broad period interiors introduce exceptional space and character, beginning with a light filled entrance hall that flows to a stylish art-deco inspired renovated kitchen with a dining area. Soft, timeless tones with a splash of colour complement stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, under bench oven and gas cooktop, with generous storage enhancing the practical layout.
Bathed in natural light, the spacious living room is centred by a fireplace with the original brick mantle and leafy green outlooks. It is a room that instantly captures the atmosphere and charm of the building.
The generous main bedroom draws in northern light and features an original fireplace and built in robes, while the second bedroom offers a peaceful and restful retreat. The central bathroom is beautifully finished with a deep soaker tub, separate shower, modern styling and a subtle nod to the buildings era. Polished floorboards, intercom entry, European laundry and a secure car space add the perfect finishing touches.
Positioned along Melbourne's iconic boulevard with direct access to Fawkner Park, daily life is enriched by walking paths, open lawns and the vibrant destinations that surround you. Stroll to South Yarra's dining scene, Prahran Market and nearby tram routes, while Albert Park Lake, the National Gallery and Arts Precinct, the MCG, the CBD, South Melbourne Market and lively St Kilda are all within easy reach. For pet owners, the private security gate leading to the off lead dog area behind the building offers a rare convenience in such a prized location.
A remarkable blend of heritage elegance, modern comfort and park side living.
