11/4 Pilley Street, St Kilda East VIC 3183

Step up to the treetops, dive into an active life, secure your place at the gateway to Chapel St in the lavish grounds of heritage-listed Ardoch Village. In a world of its own on the edge of it all, this top-floor 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment shines with a clever virtual dual-suite design featuring an Art Deco-inspired bathroom (or ensuite) for each bedroom, and a private light-filled living-dining floating above the estate’s central park with a sun-bathed north-westerly balcony.

Beautifully appointed with a curvaceous European appliance kitchen overlooking living through a glass-shelved dining bench, this sophisticated apartment is styled with stone benchtops, wideboard Oak floors and elegant plantation shutters. Reverse-cycle air-conditioned and with hydronic central heating, along with fitted robes for each bedroom and a well-designed laundry area, this lofty apartment comes with all the benefits of this tightly-held heritage conversion.

With entry to the group’s recreation centre (with pool, sauna and gym) at the door, and access to community gardens including fruitful orchard trees and herb patches, these unique surrounds even provide exceptional car accommodation; with a private 11m deep two-car garage allowing e storage or workshop space, in addition to visitor parking on-site.

With street entry from Pilley St, stairway-access beside the pool, and a treetop aspect to the estate’s central parkland, this top apartment has even more beyond its grand gates; Chapel St’s bars, boutiques and cafes are within one block, the Dandenong Rd tram is at the end of the street, Windsor station is within a walk, and Alma Park is close as additional open space.
