Opposite the St Kilda Botanical Gardens in the mid century modern 'Park View' building, this north facing 2 bedroom elevated ground floor apartment is a coveted original with a whole lot of cool.
Designed by the highly respected architect Dr Ernest Fooks in 1958, 'Park View' is a fine example reflecting the international modern style of the '50's and '60's. Using splayed balconies, timber-framed spandrel panels and elongated windows, No 8 is relatively authentic to its origins. Endearing with its beautiful base of hardwood floors, natural sunlight and leafy aspects, this solid brick gem enjoys a traditional entry foyer, an irresistible living and dining room with covered splayed balcony raised amongst the common greenery, a retro kitchen with Italian stainless steel stove and servery window; 2 lovely bedrooms with built in robes and a traditional bathroom with pink notes of inspiration.
Be inspired by the architectural history and complement the apartment with a 21st century vibe, complete with gas heating, security doors and ample storage with parking available on a first-in-best-dressed policy.
A dream position beachside of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens, so close to iconic Acland Street, famous St Kilda Beach, Peanut Farm Reserve, Luna Park, the Palais Theatre and a choice of trams.
