Melbourne

Holding pride of place at the very rear of one of Melbourne’s more iconic residential buildings, this superbly renovated and remarkably peaceful, two-bedroom ‘Sheridan Close’ residence is perched on the third and top floor, directly overlooking the glorious open expanses of Fawkner Park – to which it enjoys the rare privilege of direct gated access. Undoubtedly a slice of Melbourne’s rich architectural history, the building was crafted in the early 1950s by the renowned architect – and later, Melbourne’s Lord Mayor – Sir Bernard Evans, to merge a concave regency façade with Georgian and Art Deco influences, thus creating a unique urban hideaway with a story.

Granite benches form a seamless servery-style connection between the home’s modern, European-equipped kitchen and a bright dining / living room that gazes out through Art Deco windows to the endless joy of Fawkner Park, whilst the bathroom is beautifully tiled and modern with a walk-in shower and concealed cistern. Fully secure with undercover parking and elevator access, the home is well removed from the road and also features an entire wall of built-in robes in the main bedroom, as well as laundry facilities in the kitchen and the year-round comfort of split system heating / air conditioning.

From this most coveted of urban locations, you can treat the serenity of Fawkner Park as your own personal backyard, whilst you can also walk to the very best of Prahran and South Yarra. Fitzroy Street, Southbank and the CBD are all just a few minutes away by the countless trams that serve St Kilda Road – a billion-dollar view on one side and a multi-million-dollar transport system on the other.
