4 / 1 Garden Court
Elwood

Tucked quietly into a secluded cul de sac just metres from the St Kilda Botanic Gardens, this tastefully updated two bedroom Art Deco apartment is the perfect hideaway in the kind of location that feels like a secret but places the best of St Kilda and Elwood effortlessly within reach. Securely gated on the first and top floor of a boutique collection of just four and with the treasured prize of its own garage, this is a rare opportunity in one of bayside Melbourne’s most iconic and connected pockets.

Defined by impressive period proportions, polished hardwood flooring and plenty of natural light, the home is offered for the first time since 2009 and reveals a generous dining and living domain that is anchored by a pristine kitchen where stone benches are complemented by stainless steel appliances. Distinguished also by access to two outdoor living areas – one a curved breakfast balcony and the other an expansive north-facing entertainers’ terrace that basks in all-day sunshine - the home is accessed via intercom entry, with enormous bedrooms that feature either double- or triple-width built-in robes, plus there is an attractive bathroom, concealed laundry and two split systems.

Beyond the front gate, the lifestyle is wonderfully walkable, allowing you to wander to Barkly and Acland Streets for your morning coffee or some quick provisions, whilst the Village Green is always available for a casual drink and Cicciolina is close enough for when cooking feels entirely unrealistic, plus you have the vibrancy of Carlisle Street and the charms of both Ripponlea and Tennyson Street within easy reach while Brighton Road trams can take you to the city effortlessly.
