2/40 Sycamore Grove, St Kilda East, Vic 3183

Within a boutique block of just six, this ground-floor 1-bedroom apartment is ready to be enjoyed as is, thanks to well-maintained interiors, a smart contemporary refurbishment and a wonderfully peaceful alfresco area.

Stepping out to a private paved courtyard and timber deck perfectly poised to capture bright midday sunshine, the living room (reverse-cycle heating/cooling) is an inviting domain, with an exposed brick wall adding an element of genuine warmth and character.

Spacious enough to dine in comfort, a separate kitchen/meals features gas cooking and a front-loading washer/dryer, while the double bedroom has built-in robes and the bathroom a shower-over bath.

Including a secure car space conveniently positioned directly adjacent to the entrance, this is a great low-maintenance option ideal for those seeking to capitalise on the prime location, with the trains, cafes, restaurants and bakeries of both bustling Balaclava and quaint Ripponlea Village all within easy strolling distance.
