302/138 Ormond Road, Elwood, VIC 3184

Rise above everything in the heart of it all with a top position, cutting-edge design, and a wide wedge of city-view sparkle! One of just 10 in a boutique corner group accessed easily via a wide bluestone lane, this top-floor one bedroom apartment stretches out with a north-westerly balcony catching palm-fringed 180? treetop and rooftop panorama ? complete with a glittering city-view... and just a quiet hint of the vibrant streetscape at the door.

Designed for light and outlooks with open-plan living encompassing a streamlined media unit (or workspace), and bedroom with walk-in robe, this boutique single is appointed to a demanding specification with a streamlined Smeg and Asko appliance kitchen, a boldly detailed bathroom, and a clever European laundry.

Curated with natural marble benchtops, textural Oak floors and streamlined blinds, there's an architectural edge with a wall-hung basin plus roof-hung rainhead shower, a shiny kitchen mirror-splashback above streamlined cabinetry (hiding a fully-integrated dishwasher), and a designer scheme of monochromatic paintwork and timber panelling.

Prestige appointed with climate-controlling reverse-cycle air conditioning, movable track-lighting, video-intercom and lift access, this one is above it all with well-signposted pedestrian entry and secure parking (with storage) direct from the lane.

At home in the heart of the shopping strip, this top apartment makes living and investing plain sailing with Combi coffees at the door and Rosie's secret bar across the road. Just 250m down the lane to the beachfront, and two blocks to Elsternwick Park...even Elsternwick station and the Brighton Rd tram are just a walk through the wetland reserve away.
