Sun-filled and newly renovated, this flagship front apartment with secure garage lives up to its Park View name with palm-fringed, gum-scented outlooks to the St Kilda Botanical Gardens from every room, and a large balcony from which to enjoy it.
First-floor and up-front in the iconic mid-century Park View group, this north-facing two bedroom home takes on fresh coastal style too - with a designer renovation starring a gourmet kitchen (with all-white style from sink to stone benchtop), and a stone-finished designer bathroom (sparkling with both great natural light and targeted track-lighting).
Stepping out to the view with northerly living-dining wrapping around to a 'secret' parkside balcony, this reverse-cycle air-conditioned apartment is styled to rent or enjoy with hardwearing timber-look floors, dual e-screen and block-out blinds, and great storage including built-in robes and dedicated laundry cabinetry. Offering the peace-of-mind of a private garage in well-groomed grounds, there's also the peace and privacy of this small-scale, tightly-held group.
Best of all, there's the unparalleled investment opportunity that comes with a blue-chip position on the beach-side of the Botanical Gardens. Around the corner from the Blessington/Barkly St restaurants, bars and cafes, a dash to the Coles Metro Supermarket, and less than 500m to the beach, there's something for everyone here; including cosmopolitan Carlisle St within a few blocks, Elwood a short stroll away, and the CBD within a quick 20-minute commute from the nearest Brighton Rd or Acland Street tram stops.
