414/16 Porter Street

Located in the modern residential complex, The Hunter, this is an apartment that sets itself apart from your average one-bedder through considered design and an excellent floorplan. Exposed concrete ceilings, black-framed joinery, track lighting and light-toned wide timber floors give the interior an industrial edge that's sharp rather than decorative. The living and dining room opens directly to a covered balcony, also accessible from the bedroom, creating a strong sense of connection between inside and out. In the stone-topped kitchen, white flat-front cabinetry runs to the ceiling and a floating cabinet suspended above the island brings a sculptural detail that adds character. Fitted with a Bosch oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher, it also has a breakfast bar that keeps the space social without compromising the workflow. The bathroom is clean-lined with a rain showerhead, and a concealed European laundry is neatly integrated. The separate study is a rare advantage. It's a real room with a long desk, not a nook off the hallway or a repurposed corner. A car space plus storage cage, split-system air conditioning and secure video-monitored entry with lift access complete the inclusions. Residents also have access to a rooftop terrace with BBQ facilities and sweeping views across the Melbourne skyline. Metres from Prahran Station and trams, and minutes on foot to Greville Street, Chapel Street and Prahran Market.
