Private and peaceful in this exclusive cul de sac, this elevated apartment in an Edwardian mansion setting, nestled between the Royal Botanic Gardens and Fawkner Park, puts everything South Yarra has to offer within easy reach.

One of just four apartments, this home-sized first floor residence has three bedrooms, two generous bathrooms, a spacious living and dining room, a study/studio, sun-drenched deck and off-street parking for two cars.

A rare offering, it is replete with original features from high ceilings and leadlight windows to terrazzo floors. Beautifully proportioned interiors capture fabulous treed outlooks and a view of the spire of Christ Church, South Yarra.

An original terrazzo and wrought iron staircase arrives at this character-filled apartment where a wide reception hall leads to the living room with a classic leadlight bay window and a wall of built-in storage, while the studio or study offers ideal work-from-home opportunities. The dine-in kitchen includes stainless steel appliances. Three bedrooms share two well-appointed bathrooms.

Excellent storage, gas heating and a split system complete this appealing apartment which is just minutes from Toorak Road cafes, boutiques, trams, Domain Village and some of Melbourne's finest schools. This substantial apartment in this exclusive precinct is a rare opportunity to update if required to create a stunning home or provide an investment.
