Last Listing description (December 2020)

Located in the renowned Hero Apartments, this building was the former telephone exchange built in the 1950s and converted by the renowned Melbourne architect Nonda Katsalidis in 2001 to residential apartments.

Upon entry to this apartment, you are immediately drawn to the soaring ceilings and the windows which frame the trees on Russell Street and the Eureka Tower in the distance, another icon by the same architect.

The apartment has been meticulously crafted by an owner-occupier, with beautiful timber floors laid on the ground level. As you move upstairs, quality carpets add a sense of luxury to the sprawling master suite that is bigger than many CBD apartments. This area is well thought out with a separate dressing area that is usually found in a shopping boutique, not a City apartment. A study with timber floors also on this level is perfect for those wanting to work from home in an inspiring space. A second bedroom downstairs rounds out the accommodation with an abundance of built-in and under stair storage. Every opportunity to maximise storage has been capitalised on.

The bathroom is a masterpiece, featuring Italian tiles and Australian made tapware. Complete with a freestanding bathtub to soak away in after a long day, these are all key elements that are not incorporated into modern-day developments. The central kitchen complete with a breakfast bar, SMEG appliances, and gas cooking.

From these magnificent surroundings, you can step out of the lift and be at the worlds best restaurants, designer stores, and the latest show at the theatre within minutes.

The Hero building continues to capture the imagination of many and grace the Melbourne streetscape. A building with tremendous architectural merit, the perfect combination that has created an outstanding and proven City residential experience at the Paris-End with an on-site building manager.
