Middle Park VIC 3206

Middle Park's most spectacular city view belongs to this beautifully preserved two-bedroom Art Deco apartment, elevated above its picturesque setting on the top floor with panoramic, never-to-be-built-out views stretching across Melbourne's glittering skyline. Set within the landmark Bedford building, this breathtaking residence captures the grandeur of the 1930s while offering house-sized proportions and move-in-ready appeal just steps from the waterfront.

Once inside, original hardwood timber floors, cabinetry and joinery celebrate the apartment's Art Deco character, as the hallway opens through double glass doors into an expansive north-facing living and dining room, where an ornate open fireplace draws the eye before oversized windows frame the remarkable outlook. The kitchen sits separately, giving everyday living greater flexibility, and has been updated with a gas cooktop, oven, dishwasher, generous storage and an island bench, while direct access to the rear stairwell adds further practicality. Both bedrooms continue the impressive scale to the rear of the home, with skyline vistas, where the main enjoys a full wall of robes, and the second opens onto a charming, curved balcony facing north across the city. A sympathetically refurbished bathroom remains true to its Art Deco origins with mosaic floor tiles, a pedestal basin, a heated towel rail and a shower over bath, whilst more modern features include a European laundry and electric heating.

Completed in 1938, The Bedford was celebrated as a magnificent contribution to Melbourne architecture, commissioned by Arthur Francis Russell, the entrepreneur behind what would become Hoyts Cinemas. Today, its history is matched by an enviable Middle Park lifestyle, only steps from the beach, and within a short walk to village cafs, MSAC, sought-after schools including Albert Park College and Middle Park Primary, and the #12 tram and the #96 light rail, which takes you directly to South Melbourne Market and the CBD beyond.
