11/39-41 Kensington Road
South Yarra

With an air of majesty and a regal resonance, this superbly renovated and wonderfully character-filled, two bedroom apartment delivers an exquisite juxtaposition of the traditional and the contemporary. Part of the tightly-held, 1940 constructed, 'Castle Hill' building, crafted by Arthur Plaisted, in the style of the Georgian era, the home is tastefully set towards the rear of immaculately manicured gardens to evoke a surreal sense of old world escape. Accessed securely via an entry that is shared with only one other, a terrazzo staircase with timber and wrought iron ballistrad leads to the first floor where the apartment's towering ceilings and polished timber floors create an immediate visual impact. SMEG-equipped with stone benches, the kitchen is removed from the generous dining room and semi-attached lounge with an attractive balcony that oversees the gardens. The bedrooms are genuinely large with substantial built-in robes, whilst the renovated bathroom / laundry is a pristine example of timeless designer flair in this home that also features hydronic heating, reverse cycle air conditioning and undercover parking. Within walking distance of Toorak Rd and mere moments from both Chapel St and Toorak Village, this is a highly-coveted location that delivers enviable proximity to a near-endless selection of wonderful cafes, restaurants and bars, as well as the Como Centre, cinemas, the iconic Number 8 tram, trains from South Yarra Station and wonderful shopping everywhere.
