So quietly positioned you’ll barely believe what’s just outside, this apartment is tucked away in the award-winning ILK block, yet everything from trams and trains to cafés, dining, and designer retail is literally on the doorstep. A bamboo-lined walkway with calming waterfall leads the way to a glamorous entry foyer that feels more boutique hotel than apartment complex. Inside, the layout is smart and efficient. The living and dining room flows to a partially enclosed balcony that acts more like a second living room. It’s sheltered, private and usable year-round. The kitchen is finished with stone benchtops and integrated Miele appliances, while both bedrooms include mirrored robes. The main bedroom adds something extra: a built-in desk that folds up to reveal access to a private balcony. It’s a clever touch that lets you work when you want, then hide it all away and reclaim the space when you don’t. There’s also a modern bathroom, a European laundry, split-system heating and cooling, secure intercom entry and a basement car space. Residents also enjoy access to a lap pool, gym, sauna, steam room, rooftop BBQ terraces, cinema and shared lounge and dining spaces. When you do decide to head out, South Yarra Station is two minutes away, and trams run right past the door. Toorak Road, Chapel Street, Cinema Como and the Prahran Market are all within walking distance, as are Rockley Gardens, Fawkner Park, the Botanic Gardens and the Yarra River. But inside, it’s quiet, calm and easy. It’s the kind of apartment that knows exactly when to switch off.
