Defined by architectural pedigree and set atop the SJB Architects-designed 'Hedgeley' building, this exceptional 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence stands distinctly above its peers. One of only 3 on the top floor with a preferred west-facing orientation, the apartment has been variously customised and improved to offer some key points of differentiation and ensure it delivers a calibre of living rarely offered and almost never repeated.
Set under soaring top-floor ceilings, Residence 402 is one of 'Hedgeley's finest offerings a celebration of light and proportion with no upstairs neighbours and easy access to a stunning rooftop terrace, enabling you and your guests to enjoy a fireside drink or some chill time as the sun sets over the city and with views to Mount Dandenong that are nothing short of spectacular.
'Hedgeley's' renowned amenity also extends to the convenience of a fully-equipped communal gymnasium, a plush cinema and a residents' library, as well as the soothing joy of a central atrium garden crafted by the renowned Jack Merlo to evoke a sense of natural calm at every return home. Truly, the collaborators on this building read like a who's who of Melbourne residential excellence.
The kitchen is Miele-equipped and has been improved by the inclusion of induction cooking, stone benches, a sleek integrated refrigerator and a pantry, whilst open-plan dining / living spills outdoors effortlessly to an undercover terrace that captures plenty of northern and afternoon sun. Whether it be for daily dining or a casual meal with friends, this, too, is a wonderful alfresco setting.
Each of the bedrooms is generously scaled, fitted with mirrored built-in robes and woollen carpets, as well as block-out blinds and sheer curtains for optimal light management the primary suite also with its own designer ensuite and the second bedroom with convenient adjacency to the home's central bathroom. Indeed, both bathrooms are timelessly elegant pamper zones.
