High above the canopy of Fawkner Park, tucked quietly at the rear of the iconic Sheridan Close, lies a rare kind of calm, the kind you don't expect to find in the heart of Melbourne. It isn't just another apartment; it's a hidden chapter of Melbourne's architectural story in one of the most celebrated post-war buildings.
Step inside and you'll understand. The moment you open the door, you're greeted by soothing light from the floor to ceiling living room windows that frame the leafy greenery beyond. Outside, Fawkner Park stretches endlessly in front of you, with views so uninterrupted and serene, it feels like the city has given you its own private garden. And in a way, it has, there's even a discreet, gated entrance that leads you straight from home into the park. Morning walks, sunset strolls, or barefoot picnics are literally at your doorstep.
Originally crafted in the early 1950s by none other than Sir Bernard Evans this building is offers a bold blend of Georgian elegance and Deco charisma. The regency curve of its facade still turns heads. And somehow, even decades later, the space feels just as relevant, just as refined.
The generous bedroom, with an entire wall of built-in robes, is made to feel like a retreat waking up with leafy outlooks and the morning sun shining through the windows. The recently updated bathroom adds a fresh touch, while the spacious kitchen, the original details, and the potential to make it your own offer plenty of room for the imagination.
Secure, private, and wrapped in character, the apartment also includes undercover parking and elevator access - the practical luxuries that make life feel effortless. From your front door, the best of the city unfolds around you. Wander to Chapel Street's cafés, stroll to Albert Park Lake, or jump on any number of trams along St Kilda Road to reach the CBD, the Arts Precinct, or the bay. It's a billion-dollar park in front of you and a world-class city behind.
