Listing description
About this property
Tucked away in a quiet cul de sac just moments from the energy of Carlisle Street, 4/1 Hawsleigh Avenue, Balaclava presents a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully preserved Art Deco apartment in one of the area's most tightly held pockets. Set within a character rich block dating back to the 1920s, the home showcases enduring period detail including sash leaded windows, decorative plaster ceilings and an original fireplace, all complemented by generous proportions rarely found in modern apartments. Solid double brick construction further enhances both comfort and long term appeal. The layout offers large, well defined rooms filled with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. Thoughtful updates including upgraded electrics and plumbing, along with a private instant hot water system, ensure modern functionality while retaining the home's original charm. A standout inclusion is the private garage, a valuable and increasingly rare asset in this location. The building itself has been well maintained, with major works including roof and stairwell upgrades already completed, offering peace of mind for years to come. Positioned less than 100 metres from Carlisle Street's vibrant mix of cafes, restaurants and local shopping, and approximately 250 metres from Balaclava Station providing a direct 14 minute commute to the CBD, the lifestyle on offer is both connected and convenient. Whether you are entering the market, downsizing or investing, this is a home that combines character.
