4/5 Southey Court, Elwood

In a sought-after location offering the ultimate walkability and an enviable way of life, this first-floor Art Deco apartment is tucked in a boutique block at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Flushed with natural light and with rich timber floors complementing the most beautiful ornate ceilings, the home is introduced by a commanding entrance leading through to the generous living and dining zone. With French doors to a Juliette balcony luring in the warm summer breeze, there is also an open fireplace to keep things cosy in the cooler months. Desirably open plan, this space connects with the granite kitchen boasting stainless steel appliances including a freestanding Smeg oven. The two bedrooms are generous and peaceful, each one offering fitted wardrobes. Together, they share the large contemporary bathroom with a drenching frameless shower along with concealed laundry facilities, while out from here is a shared sunny balcony giving access down to the home’s allocated parking space. Ducted heating and cooling plus intercom security to the gate conclude the classically elegant abode. With lofty leafy outlooks and a lifestyle to love, and is within a walk of buses and trams, close to the botanical gardens and the trifecta of Ormond Road, Tennyson and Acland streets’ shopping and dining options
