5W/481 St Kilda Road, Melbourne

Enviably situated in one of St Kilda Road’s most prestigious residential buildings, this sublime, flawlessly-presented whole floor apartment offers refined, light-filled interiors and the style, convenience and security of low-maintenance, luxury apartment living. Designed by the distinguished Melbourne architect Barry Patten - who also designed many notable buildings including the Sidney Myer Music Bowl - the stunning residence is also blessed with the generous proportions and quality finishes synonymous with a landmark apartment block such as Parkside. Enjoying a strong connection to the outdoors through the liberal use of wraparound glass, the flowing floorplan offers flexibility for both large-scale entertaining and relaxed family living, with the beautiful interiors striking the perfect balance between contemporary style and effortless functionality. The heart of the expansive 240sqm home is the elegant living and dining space which is bathed in northern light and offers exquisite joinery and a choice of two living spaces. It flows on to a breathtaking 40sqm terrace with views over St Kilda Road and one of the few in the building to run the full width of the apartment. The adjacent kitchen and meals area is impeccably appointed and offers a stainless steel island and benchtops, premium Miele/ILVE appliances and extensive cabinetry. A separate meals area is a perfect spot for a morning coffee or an intimate dinner. Three spacious bedrooms include the tranquil master suite which benefits from balcony access and leafy views over the majestic Fawkner Park, his-and-hers walk-in robes and a sparkling ensuite with double vanity. Two further spacious bedrooms – one which could be used as an executive office – are serviced by a central family bathroom. Other features of this stylish offering include a full size laundry with extensive storage, powder room, private lift lobby, engineered oak floors and premium Tretford carpets, centralised heating and cooling, two basement car parks and a storage cage. The sophisticated amenity is further enhanced by exclusive access to Parkside’s landscaped gardens, lounge and kitchen, heated outdoor pool, gym, sauna and barbecue areas plus the convenience of a 24-hour on-site concierge. Parkside – a boutique block of just 37 apartments set back from St Kilda Road – is conveniently positioned on the doorstep of Fawkner Park, Albert Park Lake, Chapel Street, the sporting and arts precincts and the CBD and offers a premium lifestyle that is second to none.
