Merely metres to the many wonderful eateries and boutiques on Ormond Road, this ground-floor courtyard apartment offers a classic setting for a modern lifestyle.
Welcomed by an established and private west-facing garden complete with stunning Japanese Maple trees, the 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence is brimming with period charm - high decorative ceilings, exquisite leadlight, deep architraves and textured walls with picture rails are among the glorious reminders of a bygone era.
Past a covered front porch - which makes a fabulous all-weather alfresco terrace - accommodation includes a generous lounge with fireplace, a separate dining room (also with fireplace) and modern kitchen with Smeg oven, a gas cooktop and stainless steel dishwasher.
A beautiful slipper bath is the star of the first bathroom; the second is fully-tiled and positioned at the rear of the apartment along with a handy study area and European-style laundry.
Ducted heating and intercom entry are among the mod-cons while a gated rear courtyard leads to the off-street parking space.
Local schools, restaurants, cafes and bus stops are all within footsteps, and this prized beachside address is just moments to magnificent Elwood beach.
