2/3 Cyril Street, Elwood, VIC 3184

This beautiful 2-bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment is one of only four exclusive residences to grace the interiors of the charming Art Deco boutique group "Istina Court".

Past a secure communal foyer with towering leadlight windows, the apartment opens to a long hall which leads past the two robed bedrooms (main features luxe ensuite with double vanity, second bedroom with study nook) and a chic main bathroom to the expansive rear living/dining zone. Here, the sophisticated kitchen impresses with an array of fine finishes & appointments, including prestige Bosch appliances. A host's dream setting, it is well-placed for either indoor hosting or outside on the private alfresco deck and Merrigum Lane designed landscaped courtyard (complete with clever storage in the bench seating).

Among the little luxuries are plantation shutters, floaty sheer curtains and polished hardwood floors (carpets in both bedrooms) while practicalities include a European-style laundry, split system heating/cooling, intercom entry and securely gated access to a rear parking space.

In a low-traffic cul-de-sac, bolstered by brilliant proximity to Ripponlea station and city-bound trams on Brighton Road for an easy commute, the home is close to Elwood & Tennyson St village shops & cafes, the St Kilda Botanical Gardens and area schools.
