DESCRIPTION:
This is not your ordinary, stereotyped, cramped apartment. The owners have spared no expense when renovating the apartment, removing the third bedroom to enlarge the living area, and installing only the best appliances, furniture and decor. This has resulted in a very special, light-filled and spacious interior with a unique, uncluttered living area.

Your stylishly refurbished, modern apartment has a king bedroom with large built-in robes, an ensuite with double rainforest shower heads.
The dining table has four comfortable chairs which can also be used on the adjacent balcony. All the essential utensils are provided.

(Note from the owner:)
We initially bought this apartment and renovated it as our little dream home to start a family. Its a beautiful, light-filled tranquil space. This apartment has been styled with love, attention to detail and comfort in mind as a home, not as an investment. Sitting on the balcony in the afternoon sun or laying in bed looking at the trees, despite being in the middle of the city, make it feel like an oasis. There are numerous parks and a beautiful outdoor pool just nearby; which we love strolling to with a coffee in the mornings. Besides the brilliant location next to world class restaurants, quirky little bars, transport, shops, markets coffee shops we really chose this because of the feel of the space which is really special to us.

LOCATION:
The address is 11 Mount St, Prahran. This penthouse is situated in a quiet pocket adjacent to the lively, world-renowned Chapel Street precinct in Prahran. Its position provides outstanding access to the shops, cafes, restaurants and bars here and in the adjacent High St shopping strip. Both have amazing collections of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. It is a 5-minute walk to Woolworths, Coles and ALDI Supermarkets and the famous Prahran Market, Big-W and multiple Cinema Complexes. High Street is also renowned for its shops, restaurant and bar scene, and the newly emerged fashion section in Armadale which is a 10-minute walk or short tram ride away; (tram leaves from outside the apartment). A 2-minute walk will place you in Prahran's Outdoor Exercise precinct with access to Tennis Courts, Basketball Courts, Parks and the renowned Prahran Aquatic Centre with a 50-metre outdoor pool and cafe; (note on Sunday they have music at the pool!)

The apartment is 20 mins by train to the CBD via the Melbourne NGV Art Gallery and Flinders Street Station, and within easy walking distance are Windsor and South Yarra Train Stations. An enjoyable 15-20-minute walk or short tram ride will place you in Richmond, St Kilda, Toorak and Albert Park Lake. Officeworks and two Post Offices are also within easy walking distance. The famous Chadstone Fashion Capital is about 15 minutes drive from the apartment, the Botanical Gardens are a 15 minute walk or short tram ride away.

Getting There
The apartment complex is located between Mount and Clifton Streets which are just off High Steet, just 50 meters past the intersection with Chapel Street. The most direct route from the Airport is to follow the M2 towards the city and take the exit to Kings Way. Continue along Kings Way and turn left onto Lorne Street. Stay on Lorne Street, which becomes High Street after one block. Continue just past the intersection of Chapel Street and High Street and take the first left onto Clifton Street - the entrance to the apartment complex is on the right. There is a further entrance on Mount Street if required (one street down). Directions to Chapel Street and High Street are well marked from many locations around Melbourne making finding the way back very straightforward.

Getting Around
The area is among the best-served by public transport in Melbourne.
