The Halo effect at the Paris end

Halo is the kind of name a building has to live up to. Directly opposite Albert Park, at the Paris-end of Fitzroy Street, and introduced by a grand, glamorous entry foyer that has become something of a local landmark, it does so comfortably. This two-bedroom apartment sits within it, with a streamlined layout and, unusual for an inner-city address, the bonus of two car spaces.

The focus of the interior is a north-facing open-plan living and dining room and fully equipped kitchen with provision for a concealed fridge and freezer. Sliding doors connect to a covered balcony large enough to host a full dining setting with space to move around it. The northern aspect keeps the light with you from late morning right through the afternoon, and the balcony’s covered depth makes it as usable in a summer shower as on a still autumn evening.

The two bedrooms sit on the opposite side of the apartment from the living area, giving the layout a sensible separation between rest and entertaining. The main bedroom features a walk-in robe, and the second bedroom has built-in robes of its own. Between them sits the central bathroom, neatly finished and accessible from the hallway. Additional highlights include a European laundry hidden behind cabinetry, a split-system air conditioner, video intercom entry and a dedicated storage cage.

Step outside and Albert Park Lake is across the road for walks, runs, rowing crews and weekend picnics, trams, cafés and restaurants are on the doorstep, and the beach, The Espy, Luna Park, the Palais and Acland Street’s cake shops are all within easy reach. It is one of the few St Kilda locations where parkside quiet and bayside energy are both part of everyday life.
