5/1a Dickens Street, Elwood, Vic 3184

A sublime example of all the ritz and glamour of the flamboyant Art Deco era, tucked away in one of the inner-bayside’s most sought-after positions, this exquisite two bedroom circa-1920s apartment has been tastefully renovated while framing leafy outlooks of its iconic Elwood streetscape. One of only eight in the boutique ‘La Rochelle’ apartment, this
character-rich first floor apartment is brilliantly situated just metres from the St Kilda Botanic Gardens, the vibrancy of Carlisle Street and multiple city-bound trams.


Accessed securely via intercom entry, the home is introduced by a generous entrance hall that separates the bedrooms from a subway-tiled contemporary kitchen / dining / living with stone benches, Blanco cooking and seamless connection to an iconic curved balcony that evokes the feeling of being set among the treetops. Rich in character with polished timber flooring, finely detailed ceilings, picture rails and textured Art Deco plasterwork, the apartment also offers built-in robes in each bedroom, a subway-tiled bathroom with a cleverly concealed laundry and a separate wc, as well as split system heating / air conditioning and a pair of coveted parking permits.

From this peaceful treelined position, you can walk easily to the waterfront at the end of the street, through the gardens to Acland Street or across the road to Carlisle Street, plus you have multiple trams along Brighton
Road for easy commuting to the CBD.
