3/9 Glenroy Road

This is the kind of apartment that makes modern builds feel deeply unserious. Triple brick. Art Deco. Only eight in the building. The sort of place where the walls are thick, the proportions are ridiculous, and the ceiling roses are absolutely rinsing modern apartments right now. You walk in and immediately get hit with that old-money-without-the-money feeling. Original timber detailing everywhere. Dark stained architraves. Decorative cornices. Ceilings doing absolute theatre. Not one flat white plasterboard surface fighting for its life. And the rooms? Huge. Like genuinely huge. The living room has an actual fireplace, city views, and enough space to host dinner without somebody ending up seated on a random ottoman holding a wine glass too carefully. Then there's the study off the side. City backdrop. Sun pouring in. Trees outside every window. One of those rooms that makes you suddenly believe you're capable of replying to emails calmly. Dining room too. Which honestly feels extravagant now. Very "come over for lasagne and red wine" energy. Also very "someone accidentally stays until midnight". Kitchen's sorted. Bathroom's fresh. Polished boards. Nothing trying too hard. Just good decisions. Repeated consistently. Main bedroom is enormous as well. Not "apartment bedrooms". Actual bedrooms. The kind where you walk in and subconsciously start speaking slower. And because the universe occasionally chooses favourites You're two minutes from the 75 tram into the city. Four minutes to Finders Keepers for a flat white that becomes financially irresponsible over time. Fairview Park and the Yarra sitting there waiting for your inevitable Sunday reset walk. There's even a carport at the back. Which in Hawthorn is less a feature and more a small act of divine intervention. Honestly, if this exact apartment was in Bondi somebody would list it for $2.3m and call it "rare". And annoyingly? They'd probably get it.
