21/27 Dickens Street, Elwood, Vic 3184

In a tightly held Elwood pocket bordering the idyllic St Kilda Botanic Gardens, this fully renovated 2-bedroom apartment appeals on every level, from its serene and sparkling interiors to its private allotment at the rear of the block.

Polished timber floors set a stylish scene, with a spacious living room leading out to an undercover balcony enjoying a soothing leafy backdrop, while the tastefully modernised kitchen features black granite benchtops, stainless steel Ilve appliances, a Smeg dishwasher and a breakfast bar.

Stroll out the door through the stunning gardens to discover the cafes, cake shops and restaurants along Acland St, Barkly St & Fitzroy St, take in mesmerising sunsets over the bay on sultry summer nights and immerse yourself in seaside St Kilda and enchanting Elwood, taking comfort in the knowledge that home is just around the corner.

Includes generous master with built-in robes, updated bathroom with shower-over-bath and laundry facilities, supremely secure intercom entry, electric panel heating throughout and the absolute rarity of single lock-up garage parking.
