8.1/193 Domain Road
South Yarra

Widely known and highly regarded for its contribution to the evolution of residential design in Melbourne, Robin Boyd's signature is, quite literally, a defining feature of this important, progressive c1962 building. The architect's name plate adorns the internationalist façade and his flair is equally apparent throughout the interior proportions. Remarkably, this eighth floor apartment remains almost entirely original, making it a virtual time capsule that's complemented by irresistible potential for adding, sympathetically, contemporary elements to a modern classic. Northern light and some of South Yarra's best views over the Royal Botanic Gardens and the city accompany living/dining areas and a full width balcony while the generous, untouched kitchen enjoys its own superb views towards St Kilda and the bay beyond. Two bedrooms, each with outstanding outlooks, share a bathroom that illustrates the un-renovated status of these spaces. Off street parking completes one of this brilliant building's most tempting opportunities.
