In an iconic block originally designed by awarded architect Daryl Jackson sits this rare, design-appreciator's opportunity: a light, elevated pied-à-terre fully renovated in Belgian minimal style.
Fingerprint access opens to a sisal-laid entry vestibule then up an exposed concrete stair to the living area with northern balcony and treetop city views.
A generous entertainers kitchen & dining features integrated Bosch and Smeg appliances, smoked blackbutt joinery, silver ash marble benches, and adjoining lounge with inbuilt cupboards and white concrete TV plinth. Heating and cooling is provided by a central Daikin reverse-cycle system.
Leading off the skylight-lit hall is a bathroom with shower over bath, infrared heating, and blackbutt and marble joinery. Two generous bedrooms follow, plus a third bedroom with skylight and inbuilt loft bed - all rooms with built in robes.
Behind the apartment sits the shared native courtyard with towering lemon-scented gums where private pathways seamlessly lead to the elm-lined park loved by locals. Back inside the grounds, a communal citrus grove boasts established lemon, lime, mandarin and grapefruit trees.
Across the road is a dog park and the No 1 tram that heads to the city or beach. Within minutes, walk to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Shrine of Remembrance, Anzac Station, Albert Park Lake, or famed South Melbourne Market and local cafes.
Whether it's drinks shared on this apartment's timber-lined balcony while watching the city fireworks, or time spent cooking in the sun-drenched, marble kitchen, this home is geared for pleasure.
