With balconied views over The Shrine and the leafy Royal Botanic Gardens, this two-bedroom apartment is the ultimate city pad. In a rare position facing St Kilda Road, the residence is so close to the city yet opposite green gardens for the perfect mix of city fringe, tranquil life. Step outside to trams, head over the road for a picnic in the gardens or enjoy shopping with the city, St Kilda, South Melbourne Market, Chapel St and Domain Rd all close by. Tightly held in the Royal Domain Plaza, it sets a grand scene with a colonnaded secure entrance foyer, and also offers a basement car park on title.

Featuring a crisp palette with white and beige tones, the apartment opens into a hallway that spreads out at the rear to a bright living/dining area. The Shrine views are captured through three feature windows, with a French door opening to the undercover balcony that also fronts the main bedroom. Smeg appliances and a marble shelf are crisp in the separate kitchen, while the apartment has a clever utility zone upon entry with a marble-finished bathroom, powder room and Euro laundry.

With panel heating, three split-system air conditioners, excellent storage throughout, plus a marble-finished ensuite for the main bedroom, this apartment is well designed for an elegant life.
