3/20 St Edmonds Road

Behind the arched stone entrance of a well-maintained garden complex built around a central landscaped piazza, this modern two-bedroom apartment delivers space, surrounding greenery and a position that puts everything within walking distance. A wide entry hall moves past a study nook and the first bedroom before opening up into a generous living and dining room with timber floors and a full wall of glazing. Outside, a terrace large enough for a six-seat table sits wrapped in a leafy garden outlook. The kitchen is well-appointed with stone benchtops, electric oven and cooktop, a stainless-steel dishwasher, and a moveable island bench that can be pulled in as a breakfast bar for casual meals and pushed aside when friends are on their way. Both bedrooms have built-in robes and share a renovated bathroom with a raised basin above the vanity and a generous walk-in shower. A European laundry, split-system air conditioning, panel heaters and a linen cupboard cover the essentials, while two car spaces, a genuine rarity in this pocket, elevate it well beyond the usual. Chapel Street, Greville Street, Prahran Market and Prahran Square are all steps away, along with multiple tram routes, Prahran Station, Grattan Gardens and Princes Gardens.
