13/5 Lewisham Road

Big Terrace Energy, Boutique McKinley Mansion Heritage

There are one-bedroom apartments, and then there is 13/5 Lewisham Road. Nestled at the rear of the striking reimagined McKinley Mansion (c.1890s) with immaculate landscaped gardens, this elevated residence sits in one of inner Melbourne’s most sought-after pockets, commanding a footprint that easily rivals many two-bedroom apartments with a combined internal & external area of 113sqm (approx.)

What truly sets this home apart is its vast North-facing terrace, a sun-soaked sanctuary that wraps around the apartment bathed in light from morning through to afternoon. Broad, private, and framed by a lush treetop canopy with city views stretching beyond, this kind of outdoor space is a genuine rarity. It connects to the spacious open plan living and dining zone through two sets of glass sliding doors, delivering the kind of indoor-outdoor flow that genuine entertainers rely on. Inside, warm timber flooring grounds the space beautifully, while sheer curtains soften the abundant natural light.

The kitchen has been finished to a high standard with stone bench tops, dishwasher, stainless-steel appliances, a breakfast bar with seating for four and a size to rival many single fronted houses in the area. The bedroom also boasts its own direct terrace access, generous proportions, split system air-conditioning, large built-in robes and a stylish ensuite bathroom with tile finishes.

Further features include video intercom entry, lift access, a secure undercover car space and split-system heating and cooling ensures comfort across all seasons. Cafes, restaurants, bars and boutiques along High Street and in Hawksburn Village are a short walk away, including local favourites The Mount Erica Hotel & Morning Market. City-bound transport is easily accessed with Windsor Station a 10 minute walk away, and the green of Victoria Gardens is at the end of the street. For couples seeking genuine scale, or those who simply like to live and entertain well, it is a home that truly covers all bases.
