8/3 Glen Eira Road
Ripponlea

Merging a remarkable sense of leafy sanctuary with superbly renovated Art Deco heritage, this spacious, first floor / top floor, two bedroom apartment is a rare discovery right on the cusp of Ripponlea Village. Set well back from the street and one of only eight, the apartment is delightfully situated behind the tranquil gardens of the landmark, 1929 Maisonette 'Alcazar' block.

Set under finely detailed ceilings with picture rails and three fireplaces, the apartment tastefully acknowledges its origins, whilst a modern kitchen / dining highlights the timeless durability of waterfall-edged stone benches as it opens to a north-facing rear deck. Each of the bedrooms has been completed with substantial built-in robes, while the lounge presents a valuable second living space and the study is a divine workspace enhanced by attractive treetop outlooks. The home also features a pristine bathroom / separate wc, a communal laundry, electric wall heating, split system air conditioning and a cherished parking space.

Simply stroll down the street to discover terrific cafes, bars and some first-class restaurants, as well as village-like strip shopping and city-bound trains from Ripponlea Railway Station, plus you have easy access to trams along Brighton Road, all the action of Glenhuntly Road, the Classic Cinema and Elwood Beach.
