Set within the timeless “Summerleigh” boutique complex, this meticulously maintained Art Deco apartment offers a rare combination of house-like proportions and period charm. The residence immediately impresses with its solid character, where rich timber floor and ornate high ceilings highlight the oversized dimensions of every room. These authentic Art Deco features provide a sophisticated backdrop to a home that feels both grand and incredibly welcoming.
The floor plan is thoughtfully designed for both privacy and flow; a secure undercover balcony transitions into a welcoming entrance hall, complete with original cloak cupboards, which leads into an expansive living area centered by a striking original brick fireplace. This central heart of the home connects seamlessly to a light-filled separate dining room, perfect for hosting, which then flows into a well-appointed kitchen. Retaining a touch of retro flair, the kitchen offers the added convenience of a secondary entrance, allowing for swift and easy access from the dedicated undercover, off-street car space at the rear of the complex.
Both bedrooms are exceptionally well-sized, featuring peaceful garden outlooks through wide windows. A large central bathroom services the home, cleverly incorporating laundry facilities while maintaining its vintage charm. Situated on a substantial allotment with park-like communal grounds, this property is a rare find for the inner-city. Perfectly positioned moments from the vibrant cafes of Alma Village, Orrong Road shops, and CBD transport, this apartment represents the ultimate expression of enduring style in one of St Kilda East’s most coveted pockets.
