Entering via the lovely green central garden of Alcazar, a 1929 Spanish Mission Maisonette block, this pristine split-level 3-bedroom apartment is a dream come true for those seeking the generous proportions, solid foundations and timeless charm of yesteryear.

Enhanced by polished timber floors, ornately detailed ceilings and open fireplaces, adjoining lounge and dining rooms are awash with natural light from both east and west, while to the rear, a separate kitchen/meals featuring gas cooking steps out to a private courtyard enjoying warm morning sunshine.

Upstairs, serviced by a bathroom with a shower-over-bath and a handy separate WC, there are two spacious double bedrooms, one with a bay window giving a gorgeous garden outlook and the other with a wall of built-in robes, plus a third room ideal for accommodating guests or nursery/study use.

Brimming with character and meticulously maintained by the same owners for over 40 years, it includes thermostat-controlled hydronic heating throughout, under-stair storage, external laundry, communal rear garden and allocated off-street parking ? the ideal spot to leave the car as you stroll to CBD-bound trams and trains, chic local cafes and specialty shops, all within minutes from the front door.
