A beautiful, older style apartment from the days when architects were commissioned to design comfort and grandeur, not profit.
Armadale Armani has since been sensibly updated but without losing reference to what she once was.
The decent sized kitchen (with views to a lovely overgrown garden) sports a modern fan forced oven, good sized fridge and pantry,
The beautifully tiled bathroom includes a bath, separate shower and secluded toilet.
There is a dining room, lounge room with a gas log fire and a great big bedroom.
High ceilings and warm Baltic floors still provide an anchor to the glorious past of this apartment.
I smiled the moment I walked in through that old school entrance.
Step out and walk your way through the leafy back streets towards the grand old Toorak railway station (8 mins) and partake of a coffee in one of several offerings nearby, I preferred the establishment that had the redgum fire burning all day.
If it’s too late for coffee, try the small local restaurants offering Japanese, French, pizza or WINE + BEER!
Don’t like walking?
Take the tram (in either direction) that is immediately available outside the apartment.
It leads to pubs, bars, coffee and retail.
Prahran market is not far, a foodie heaven in which we did over spend but we were able to cook a special dinner back at the apartment.
Our host was always quick to respond to queries and very accommodating.
Anything I didn’t like?
Not really, but some of you may find the bedroom (front of property) too close to the road, but I like Melbourne, and the sound of a tram rumbling past as you lay in bed reading adds to that experience for me.
