SOLD BY JOHN MANNING - 50s flair meets contemporary comfort
Lush garden views wrap around this larger-than-most apartment, quietly positioned on the ground floor of iconic ‘Burnett Lodge’. Designed by renowned award-winning architect Mordechai Benshemesh, the building’s striking 1950s aesthetic and clean lines exude an irreplaceable retro charm.
The thoughtful layout begins with a spacious entry hallway leading to the living room. Here, an open servery with a timber breakfast ledge connects to the refurbished kitchen, a clever design that balances functionality with social living. A remote-controlled blind provides the option of transforming the space into either a social or private cooking area.
The bedroom incorporates a walk-in robe, while the bathroom showcases a contemporary refresh with floor-to-ceiling tiles, floating basin, and black fixtures that pop against the neutral palette.
The crown jewel is a shared rooftop terrace delivering both bay and city panoramas, complemented by manicured communal gardens below. These social spaces foster an organic sense of community, perfect for everything from morning coffee to sunset drinks with neighbors. Modern conveniences include an induction cooktop, secure intercom entry, split-system climate control, European laundry tucked discreetly away, and timber floorboards.
The location puts you steps from the beach, the buzz of Fitzroy Street, Albert Park and Lake, and convenient tram connections. This is a home that honours its heritage, while embracing a contemporary bayside lifestyle with undeniable flair.
