Owning a prominent corner position on the cusp of St Vincent Gardens, this timeless three-bedroom residence is an appealing example of contemporary ease and classic modernist design in an unbeatable lifestyle precinct. Framed in exquisitely landscaped gardens, its exceptional lift-connected double-storey layout attracts verdant aspects from every window, inviting a truly unparalleled environment for relaxed living, entertainment and family enjoyment just moments from Albert Park Village.

The feeling of tranquility is immediate beyond the high-fenced exterior, with the striking garden leading inside to reveal the warmth of solid brick and timber lining against updated touches and extraordinary natural light. The connection to the outdoors follows from the large living area with an open fire to the modern kitchen, fitted with premium appliances, and a meals area, highlighted by French doors that afford a natural transition to the rear landscaped courtyard. The serenity here is simply unmatched. Immersed in established greenery, from birch to colour-changing maple and towering Plane trees, each season provides a unique setting for al-fresco dining, allowing for the winter sun whilst providing shade in summer. 

Upstairs, a second living area bathed in light spills to a large balcony, a central bathroom, and two bedrooms with built-in robes, including the main suite with an ensuite and city outlooks. A third bedroom downstairs offers adaptability as a home office or guest bedroom, with an adjoining modern powder room. Delivering a rare opportunity for an enviable lifestyle on the village edge, a short walk to South Melbourne Market, MSAC, Albert Park Lake, Gasworks Park, the beach and city-bound trams, it features ceiling fans, ROW pedestrian access, a laundry, ample storage, including a discreet bike shed and outdoor shower.
