Ahead of its time in environmental design and architectural innovation, this elevated ground floor 2 bedroom security apartment is impressive on all counts.

Dressed with natural textures and timbers, this awe-inspiring retreat enjoys open plan living and dining seamlessly opening to a north facing terrace, sleek stainless steel kitchen (Smeg appliances), 2 double bedrooms (robes on castors) and a fully tiled bathroom with laundry (includes dryer).

The environment benefits from the use of hydronic heating, polished timber floors and strategically placed louver windows for natural air flow, while the innovation includes R/C air conditioning, pre-wiring for a home theatre, security system, keyless entry and security basement parking.

An unbeatable location on the edge of Acland Street and Grey Street, an easy walk to Fitzroy Street, fabulous playgrounds, Albert Park Lake, a happening night life and the beach.
