5/539 Orrong Road, Armadale, Vic 3143

Entered from leafy Lalbert Crescent, complemented by a generous courtyard, this great ground floor apartment retains significant art deco era character yet projects a personality that's ideally matched to the mood of the present. Hardwood floorboards, high ceilings and classical casement windows enhance immediately appealing spaces including a living room featuring an open fire place, curved contours and access to the courtyard. Northern light from a sunny rear outdoor retreat fills the separate kitchen/meals area defined by stone benches, Bosch dish-washer and a diner style booth that's as evocative as it is enticing. Two bedrooms, each with built in robes, surround a traditional central bathroom, easily given a contemporary treatment if so desired, adding to the appeal of an apartment that delivers distinctive period proportions. One of only six, with a lock up garage on title, conveniently close to High Street and Orrong Park.
