25/5 Dickens St, Elwood is a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom Unit with 1 parking spaces and was built in 2000. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in August 2017.
A one-bedder with such a generous footprint and two big terracotta-tiled terraces doesn't surface often, and when it lands in a brilliant lifestyle pocket like this, it deserves a closer look than most.
Behind a secure intercom entry, the apartment opens to a living and dining room sized closer to a house than a flat, with rich parquetry running underfoot and glass doors drawing you out to the first of the two terraces. The kitchen with dishwasher sits off to the side, tucked away but never out of the conversation, with an easy sightline to the living zone.
The oversized bedroom includes excellent storage and its own north-facing terrace, a sun-warmed spot to start the day or unwind at the end of one. The ensuite bathroom features a shower-over-the-bath and laundry taps, while a car space and split-system air conditioner round out the highlights.
The street is leafy and quiet, with Brighton Road trams at one end for a direct run into the city and the St Kilda Botanical Gardens at the other, good for a morning walk or summertime picnics. Balaclava sits a short stroll away, while Carlisle Street covers the day to day with its mix of cafs, bars, bakeries, grocers and specialty shops. Acland Street is close for when the weekend calls for cake and people-watching, and the beach is an easy walk when you feel like sand between your toes or a swim before or after work.
For first-home buyers, downsizers or investors after something that lives larger than its bedroom count suggests, this is a unicorn worth moving on quickly.
