This spacious one-bedroom apartment within one of Elwood's most treasured heritage buildings proves why Art Deco never goes out of style.
The elegant Camberley building sits graciously on the corner of two of Elwood's best tree-lined streets. Apartment 10 has been lovingly updated to preserve the craftsmanship of its 1930s origins while being ready to move in.
An entrance hall with polished floorboards and handy storage leads to a generous bedroom with built-in robes and an electric panel heater, and to the living/dining room, which features original hardwood floors and a gas heater. Lofty, ornate ceilings, dark timber accents and exquisite leadlight windows are highlights of both the bedroom and living/dining room. The apartment's top-floor position provides privacy and natural light throughout.
A back hallway leads to the sunny kitchen and bathroom, complete with a separate toilet. The bathroom and toilet feature original terrazzo flooring newly polished. The apartment also has a convenient back entrance (park your bikes in the back hall and you'll be at Elwood beach in minutes).
Residents of Camberley also enjoy access to the tranquil, well-maintained communal garden and communal laundry, as well as an unbeatable location. A short walk to the St Kilda Botanical Gardens and an easy stroll to the area's cafés, boutiques, parks, the bay and public transport. This is a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of Melbourne's architectural heritage and enjoy the Art Deco sense of space and craftsmanship that modern cookie-cutter flats lack.
