Subscribe to regular market updates. One of only four in a boutique block, just minutes from Tennyson Street shops and the beach-forward canal walking trails, this private ground-floor apartment offers sanctuary and warmth over an enormous single-level footprint. Beautifully executed with quality finishes and a focus on space and easy living, it benefits from a west-facing courtyard and full-width interiors that have been stylishly renovated to reflect a relaxed modern-day vibe. Solid timber floors and natural light make an immediate impression within the spacious interior, leading through a central hallway to three generous, robed bedrooms, each with dual blinds, built-in robes and ceiling fans. A large, fully-tiled bathroom is chic and bright, housing laundry facilities, whilst the open-plan living and dining areas ensure ease, with oversized windows to the east and west allowing subtle all-day light through the entire layout. Stone benchtops, integrated storage, Westinghouse cooking appliances and a dishwasher define the sleek kitchen, with banquette dining seating within the dining room and clear access to the decked courtyard for al-fresco dining. Low-maintenance leafy greenery, the draw of the afternoon sun, a shed, and a gate to the rear carpark top off the exceptional liveability, which is supported inside with split system air conditioning and intercom entry. A rare find of this size within a tightly-held tree-lined pocket, it is just moments from Ripponlea Station and Brighton Road trams, a short stroll from Elwood Primary School and Elwood College, cafes, Ormond Point, lively dining options within the village and Acland Street nearby, and iconic cafes like Jerry’s Milkbar.
