27/202 St Aidans Road

This stunning multi-level apartment in the exclusive St Aidans Park complex is much more than an apartment. More like a house, it offers 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas and a study. Part of the converted boiler building, number 27 is one of the largest residences in the complex, featuring a bonus private front garden and an alfresco courtyard. A dramatic double-height void marks the main entry, where a vertical timber slat wall conceals a generous cellar/storeroom. The ground level accommodates an open living space, 3 good-sized bedrooms (WIR/ceiling fans), a modern bathroom, and a WC. It makes the perfect domain for younger family members or a luxurious guest suite. The grand staircase features a landing with another timber slat wall cleverly hiding the fifth bedroom. This secret bedroom is bound to be popular among kids, boasting a mezzanine floor for hanging out with friends and BIR. The expansive first level is the heart and soul of the home, featuring open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas, a study, a powder room, and a large laundry. The living area features soaring ceilings, Spotted Gum flooring, abundant natural light and a cosy gas log fire, while the dining space can accommodate a large gathering. Gourmet cooking becomes effortless with the high-end kitchen fittings, including a Fisher & Paykel 900mm electric oven, induction cooktop with a retractable downdraft range hood, a spacious stone-topped island, ample soft-close cabinetry, and a butler's pantry with a sink and dishwasher. The study adjacent to the living area is well-placed for working from home or supervising homework. Access to the third level is via a floating staircase with Oregon timber treads salvaged from the original building. The impressive master suite features a spacious bedroom with full-height windows to catch a summer breeze or watch the sunrise. A wall of recycled Karri pine from the original floorboards with a pressed-metal lined niche pays homage to the building's history. A fitted dressing room/walk-through robe leads to the wet-room ensuite, showcasing Italian tiling, a double open shower, twin vanities, and a WC. A secluded landscaped courtyard behind a brick and wrought-iron fence is the perfect setting for a relaxed brunch with friends or family gatherings. Notable extras include ducted reverse-cycle heating/cooling in the living area, split system air conditioning in all bedrooms, storage cleverly tucked into every available space, and a garden shed. St Aidan's Park is a prestigious gated apartment complex converted from landmark of original 1905 buildings. It is home to residents of all ages and stages of life, with communal amenities such as an outdoor pool, a function room, a meeting/boardroom, and beautifully maintained landscaped grounds. The central Kennington location provides easy access to Strath/Kennington Village shops, restaurants, cafes, medical clinics, schools, La Trobe University, and public transport.
