1 / 379 Toorak Road
South Yarra

An expansive garden apartment within South Yarra’s tightly-held ‘Dulverton’ building, this character-filled ground floor residence merges an impressive house-like sense of proportion with front and rear outdoor living and a lock-up garage. Rich in all the original character of the late-1920s, the home is fully-secure with two enormous bedrooms – and scope to reconfigure to create a third – all in a dream location where all the ritz of Toorak Road and Chapel Street are balanced by the serenity of Como Park and the Yarra River.

Set under soaring strapped ceilings with polished hardwood flooring and leadlight windows, the home proudly respects its origins as it flows past a generous lounge – warmed by a gas-converted fireplace – and a dining room, before culminating in a more contemporary, stone-finished and Miele-equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are both enormous and appointed with built-in robes, plus there is secure intercom entry, a big bathroom with a walk-in shower that offers handheld and rainwater options, as well as north-facing alfresco dining at the rear, communal gardens and split system heating / air conditioning.

Walk to Toorak Road and Chapel Street for world class cafes, fine dining, ritzy bars and energetic nightlife, as well as city-bound trams and trains from South Yarra Railway Station, plus you have Como Park and endless Yarra trails for some outdoor relaxation or serious exercise options.
