Designed and developed for privacy and tranquility by the renowned architect Roy Grounds - of National Gallery fame and also for designing Hamer Hall, the State Theatre, Wrest Point Casino and a collection of fine local homes - this large, mid-century, studio apartment is a brilliantly conceived slice of Melbourne's architectural history. Oriented to the north and on the first floor with a vast and sun-filled entertainer's terrace, the home is one of only eight in this boutique block with a beautiful garden setting that makes it a unique sanctuary in one of Armadale's most coveted pockets.
With traditional polished timber floors, a large and ambient open fire place and incredible windows opening to the terrace, the main room is both bright and private and can easily be divided into a bedroom with separate living should that option ever appeal.
Both quirky and unique, the home still preserves its original bread and milk delivery box to remind us of an era long gone!
The kitchen, conveniently overlooks the main room, whilst the bathroom is nicely presented and communal laundry facilities are particularly convenient.
Council permission for two parking permits, also, is an important convenience as well.
Just metres from Malvern Rd, all modes of public transport and almost as close to High St Armadale, Hawksburn Village and Chapel St, much of Melbourne's most iconic cafe culture, strip shopping, bars and restaurants are within easy reach from this quiet and tucked-away apartment, making it the perfect retreat for a cosmopolitan inner-suburban lifestyle.
