1/67 High Street

Benefiting from a next-level architectural conversion and a more recent renovation, this lofty, two bedroom, split level, townhouse-like apartment manages to merge its heritage - as part of the iconic 1880s constructed Prahran State School set behind established trees with leafy outlooks and a remarkable sense of serenity that makes it hard to believe it is so close the buzz of Chapel Street. Unfolding within its exquisite period facade, the home is utterly bespoke and securely accessed via intercom entry with a large entertainers' courtyard in one of Melbourne's premier lifestyle pockets. Seemingly set among the treetops, the home's vast open-plan dining / living room is anchored by a recently updated kitchen where stone benches, new quality appliances and attractive timber-toned flooring are all complemented by new lighting and a recently completed designer laundry with powder room. Each of the bedrooms have been completed with built-in robes the primary bedroom also with a built-in desk plus there is a stylish bathroom, undercover parking and a huge courtyard that is heaven for entertainers with brick paving that has been thoughtfully themed to the building's exterior and a large deck that is set under a louvred roof for year-round enjoyment. Peacefully removed from the street and yet right in the heart of Prahran's energy, the lifestyle here is every bit as compelling as the architecture. Spend your mornings between Prahran Market and your favourite café, your afternoons wandering the vintage of Greville Street and your evenings at Hawker Hall, The Emerson or somewhere delightfully unplanned, while you have Albert Park Lake just down the road for some outdoor recreation and all modes of transport for easy city access.
