THE DEAL

In Melbourne’s pre-eminent shopping and lifestyle hub, this first-class residence sits high among Idle Architecture Studio’s exclusive ‘Emporia’ building, enjoying the best of Commercial Road and Chapel Street right at its doorstep.

Distinct from the bustle below, the easy-care home centres around a substantial living/dining area and completely covered balcony, equally suited to hosting friends and family as it is unwinding in peace and quiet. Two generous bedrooms both take in stunning sunrise sights, accompanied by built-in robes, a luxe main bathroom, ensuite to master, and guest-room study station.

A lock-and-leave prize brilliant as a professional’s abode, downsizer’s domain, or city base, highlights of the home include a stone-top kitchen with quality appliances, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, engineered oak floors, space for a washing machine, secure car space, and access to amenities in a tranquil Japanese garden and residents’ recreational spaces.

SEALS THE DEAL

A car is so rarely needed, with countless attractions in Prahran Market, renowned restaurants, iconic bars and nightspots, grocers and supermarkets, world-class coffee, upscale boutiques, city-bound trains and trams, and scattered parks and gardens all just footsteps away.
