1/41 Park Street, South Yarra, Vic 3141

What do you call the 400m street between Fawkner Park and the Botanic Gardens? The aptly named Park Street is undoubtedly one of the best places to live in the country. You now have the rare opportunity to live in the beautiful Domain Precinct, and the chance to consider all the benefits of number one at 41 Park Street, South Yarra.

Set perfectly between Fawkner Park and the Botanic Gardens, the walkability of the position of this mid-century building is enhanced further by its ground floor position. Whether it is a wander down to Bistro Gitan and the Toorak Road trams into the city, or a saunter the other way for a drink and lunch at Bacash on Domain Road, the lifestyle on offer here is truly unmatched. Those looking for a Melbourne base or who just can’t live without their car and secure storage will be pleasantly surprised by the spacious lock-up garage, which also offers a convenient route to the apartment via a door at the back.

As you enter the home be greeted by polished timber floors, adding warmth to the entrance, living area and separate kitchen. The updated kitchen and bathroom mean you can move in straight away without fuss. Being an older property there is plenty of storage in both bedrooms and throughout this apartment, which continues to impress. Just like the other 1950’s buildings, this one was built far more solidly than their modern counterparts.

What sets unit one apart from the rest in the block is being one of only three in the building to have a balcony and windows on three sides, maximizing the flow of natural light which is so rare in ground floor apartments. If being next to two of Melbourne’s best parks and the Yarra River is not enough, you also have the very posh Domain Precinct shops which are alive and buzzing from sunset to sunrise. Public transport is just as close as you’d expect, and it is best if you start testing your new route to work sooner rather than later; opportunities like this don’t tend to last very long.
