Gracious, spacious and so beautifully located, this impressive Art Deco apartment is where late-period apartment style meets today's latte living, commuter lifestyle. Ground-floor and north-facing in the grand c.1937 Somerleyton group, this fully-renovated apartment offers a gracious two bedroom floorplan, every divine Deco detail ....and today’s ultimate lifestyle location on the edge of Ripponlea village. Opening with a gracious lobby, this grand ground-floor residence follows a traditional design with a large light-filled lounge and generous main bedroom oriented to all-day north sun...and the most artful detail of the era including lofty decorative ceilings, authentic hardwood floors and rich never-painted timberwork. Reimagined in up-to-the-minute style with cool stone benchtops and prestige appliances (including a gas-range and slimline dishwasher) for the sleek eat-in kitchen, this reverse-cycle air-conditioned home stars a quietly luxurious subway-tiled bathroom with walk-in shower...and every contemporary extra; from discreet laundry facilities, to abundant built-in robes (his-and-hers for the master), to bespoke fireside joinery. A showpiece group of its time, built as the centre-piece of the 1930s Brunning Nursery Estate sub-division, this grand Art Deco apartment brings original benefits too – including broad lawned grounds with a safe rear carspace plus a secure workshop-storeroom. A last minute (250m) dash across the palm-fringed park to the station and 14 minutes from there to the CBD, this outstanding Art Deco has Ripponlea’s cafes, bars and shopping within steps, the St Kilda Rd and Chapel St tram-routes at the end of the street, St. Kilda’s Botanical Gardens within a few blocks, and in-demand St Kilda Primary School in Zone.
