12/35 Dickens Street, Elwood, Vic 3184

Start or invest with grand proportions, a bonus bedroom and St Kilda Botanical Gardens as your own big backyard! A rare 3 bedroom apartment opportunity in an iconic Gardens-side group, this substantial 1st-floor mid-century apartment goes above and beyond at every turn. Extra-accommodating with 3 generous bedrooms – all with built-in robes, this sizeable home is filled with sun where it's wanted most, and situated in the ultimate Gardens position, steps from the Dickens St/Herbert St gate.

Built on a spectacular scale with lofty ceilings, vast proportions and an extra-wide entry hall, this accommodating apartment shines with vast living facing north across the balcony to the group's central garden, and a generous dining area alongside a sophisticated European appliance kitchen.

Big on extras with reverse-cycle air-conditioning plus ducted heating, and block-out blinds plus new sheer curtains, this upscale apartment is big on added-extras including intercom-entry to a rear lobby shared with only a few other apartments. There's even value-adding potential with a vastly versatile bathroom, full laundry and separate WC providing space and scope to reconfigure.

Offering the easiest undercover parking of the group direct from the street front crossover, the location is a huge bonus too; with the quietest corner of the Botanical Gardens at the door, Barkly St's bars and cafes within 400m, and Carlisle St's cosmopolitan shopping and station within a walk.
