Our sweet retro style apartment is flooded with light and warmth offering you a ‘home away from home’ experience to enjoy. It has been lovingly renovated with a new kitchen, a refurbished retro bathroom, plantation shutters and wool carpet. The apartment is private and secluded as it is set at the back of a small apartment block with views of lush green trees during the day and the lights of South Yarra on the horizon as the sun sets in the evening.

The space

There is seating available on comfortable bar stools at the wide kitchen bench for meals, coffee or drinks and a chat. The bench is also a great a working space, with plenty of room to spread out notes and computers.

Open Living - The kitchen area and living area are open plan. A huge floor to ceiling west facing window enables light to flood in to the living area. Plantation shutters provide the ability to control the light in various ways. There are green trees (fig trees) and a vegetable garden in our neighbouring property for the daytime view, while in the evening the lights of South Yarra dot the skyline in the distance. There is a 50 inch Smart TV and seating for four people.

Bedroom - The queen size bed is extremely comfortable. There are solid built in wardrobes with storage for clothing. The bedroom is in a very quiet position and contributes to a restful night of sleeping.

Where I went to school: St Margaret's, Berwick
My husband and I enjoy spending time with our family and friends walking our 'furkids' , swimming in the clear waters of the bay, snorkelling in rock pools, doing yoga, visiting local markets and wineries and skiing in the mountains. We love cooking and sharing meals with our family and friends. When not doing these things we might be found working on a renovation project!
