Directly opposite St Kilda Botanic Gardens, this secure ground-floor apartment within The Ivy turns an exceptional parkside position into a brilliant inner-bayside base, with Hecker Guthrie-designed interiors opening to a private garden courtyard and the best of Elwood and St Kilda within easy reach. Contemporary, low-maintenance and highly private, its one-bedroom layout offers an appealing lock-and-leave option for buyers who want greenery at the door, the beach nearby, and a lively café and dining scene just minutes away.
Once inside, sliding stacker doors extend the north-facing living and dining area to an undercover courtyard, making the most of the sun-drenched aspect and established, low-maintenance gardens for relaxed entertaining in complete privacy. The streamlined kitchen sits neatly alongside, appointed with stone benchtops, a mirrored splashback and Miele appliances including a gas cooktop and integrated dishwasher. The spacious bedroom includes mirrored built-in robes and direct access to the sleek, dual-entry ensuite, while a European laundry and split-system heating and cooling add exceptional ease.
Directly opposite, St Kilda Botanic Gardens provide a leafy outlook and an easy escape into green space, while Acland Street's cafés and bars, the 96 light rail, Brighton Road trams and the foreshore are all within a short walk. Secure basement parking and video intercom entry complete an irresistible lifestyle base in a prized parkside pocket of St Kilda.
