606/800 Chapel Street, South Yarra

Well insulated and unaffected by the bustling lifestyle that's just an elevator ride away, this corner apartment is blessed with a peaceful perch that overlooks leafy skylines and the wide open greens of this sought after building. Welcomed by warming wood floors that feel solid underfoot, the home pulls you in to a wide living and dining zone illuminated by vast glazing before opening onto the full width balcony – perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying your morning coffee alongside the serenely unchanging vista outside. Served by a clever kitchen that's fitted with a full suite of Smeg appliances (gas cooking) and a moveable stone island bench. The master suite is graced with the natural light from a huge picture window as well as his-and-her robes and an ensuite with a double walk-in shower and stone vanity. Also features a well separated second bedroom, central bathroom, Euro laundry, ducted AC, terrific storage in every available nook and car parking for one with over bonnet locker storage. In a modern complex built when space, light and quality were still king and managed well since then. Thoughtful facilities include on site caretaker, pool, gym, sauna and open green space. If you do want to hop out, it's an easy walk onto Chapel Street, Toorak Road or over the bridge for cafes, restaurants and bars. Walk across the common green to Vogue Plaza for your groceries as well as being close to Como Centre for a movie, the Botanic Gardens, Melbourne's sports precinct, trams and train.
