Part of the 'Somerleyton' block of only 14, this move-in-ready apartment carries almost nine decades of history within its Art Deco walls.
Step through the front door to a light-filled living room, its polished floorboards, ornamental fireplace and timber detailing original to the era, kept comfortable year-round with a split-system air conditioning. A second doorway leads through to the renovated kitchen, finished with crisp white cabinetry, a stainless-steel dishwasher, washing machine taps, and a streamlined finish. A central hallway branches to two well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern bathroom, with a further door circling back into the living room, a layout that still echoes the logic of its Deco design.
Ripponlea Village keeps you close to cafés, bars and something good to eat any night of the week, with world-famous Attica the standout among them. The lawns and paths at Rippon Lea Estate make for great weekend outings, and the beach is a short stroll away too. Trains and trams are moments away, so getting into the city is never a hassle.
Zoned for St Kilda Primary School and Elwood College, this is a home with a rich past and the best of Ripponlea unfolding beyond the front gate.
Note: The 'Somerleyton' name traces back to the Brunning family, whose nursery grounds once covered this land in the late 19th century. In 1937, the site was reimagined as this collection of late-period Art Deco apartments, and this particular home still holds onto several of its original features, from the fireplace to the timber trims.
