South Melbourne

Thoughtfully reimagined by its architect-owner to defy cliché within Daryl Jackson’s award-winning, 1970s ‘City Edge’ development, this immaculate and utterly unique two bedroom residence delivers townhouse-like proportions with a surreal sense of verdant, garden-surrounded sanctuary that defies its vibrant city-fringe setting. A landmark example of enlightened, mid-century modernist architectural pedigree, ‘City Edge’ was a ground-breaking urban village concept that continues today to allow you to enjoy a lifestyle that merges big city sophistication with community vibes and a remarkable connection to nature.

Introduced via a securely gated north-facing courtyard, the home’s recently renovated kitchen / dining / living fills with natural light as its evocative concrete ceiling, hardwood floors and chic 70s timber paneling are complemented by a boldly modern kitchen with stainless steel benches, Bosch induction cooking and endless integrated cabinetry with soft close doors. Upstairs, a pair of generous robed bedrooms allow you to wake up to delightful vistas of communal gardens set under a canopy of 50 year old gums, while views above a brilliant study nook of the city’s skyline remind you that you’re not in the country. Further highlights include a renovated bathroom with concealed laundry, a second terrace overlooking the gardens, wood fire heater, split system air conditioning and undercover parking.

Immerse yourself in South Melbourne’s thriving world of cafes, fine dining, gastropubs and nightlife, while South Melbourne Market, Albert Park Lake and the Botanic Gardens are all walkable, the arts and entertainment precinct, Southbank and even the CBD are all just a couple of minutes away by tram and the new Anzac Station or by foot if you’re feeling energetic.
