5/39a Balaclava Road, St Kilda East, Vic 3183

Entering via Allan Rd, this 2-bedroom apartment combines period charm and an impeccably stylish update with two delightful alfresco areas for fabulous ground floor living.

Retaining the Art Deco elegance of timber floors and high ceilings, a gorgeous lounge/dining room steps out to a tranquil private courtyard positioned to capture afternoon sunlight diffused by surrounding leafy foliage.

For those who prefer the warmth and energy of morning rays, the fully refitted separate kitchen (Caesarstone surfaces, stainless-steel Blanco appliances & drawer dishwasher) leads to a large timber-decked rear and a separate private laundry.

Including two good-sized bedrooms (generous master with BIRs), a modernised bathroom, gas-ducted heating and a secure car space with a storage cage, it enjoys the lifestyle allure of trams on the doorstep, Greenmeadows Gardens around the corner and the Carlisle St cafes just down the road.
