12/1-31 Domain Street

South Yarra VIC 3141

Crowning a tightly held block of just 12 residences, this exceptional top-floor apartment delivers the proportions, privacy and quality more commonly associated with a house, all perfectly placed between Fawkner Park and the Botanic Gardens. The opportunity for a third bedroom or office in the Domain Precinct is a rare one indeed, and one with over 120sqm and a double garage rarer still.With no residence above, the home enjoys an enhanced sense of peace and privacy, the dual east-west orientation create a wonderful feeling of openness throughout.A beautifully traditional floorplan provides genuine separation between the living zones, with generous living and dining rooms connected by tall solid timber-framed glass French doors that bring warmth, character and a strong sense of scale. Further flexibility is offered by the potential for a third bedroom or dedicated study, ideal for those working from home or requiring additional accommodation.At the heart of the home is an impressively large kitchen, a rarity in apartment living. Offering an abundance of cabinetry, soft-close drawers, extensive bench space and a substantial walk-in pantry, it provides the storage and functionality expected of a much larger home. Not only can you get creative with your cooking, but a reimagining of the space and how it fits into your lifestyle would be incredibly rewarding for those with a good eye.Two substantial paved balconies extend along opposite sides of the residence, with one facing east and the other west. This dual orientation creates excellent flexibility for outdoor living throughout the day, whether enjoying the morning sun, an evening drink or simply the added sense of space and connection to the surrounding streetscape.The generous main bedroom is a private retreat, complete with its own ensuite and walk-in robe, while the substantial second bedroom features built-in wardrobes and is conveniently serviced by a second central bathroom. A separate laundry adds another level of everyday practicality, while year-round comfort is provided by Daikin ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling throughout.Further enhancing the appeal is the highly sought-after double lock-up garage, an increasingly rare inclusion in this part of South Yarra and a major advantage for downsizers or professional buyers requiring additional parking and storage.With predominantly owner-occupiers within the building, the block has an established and private feel that perfectly complements the residence itself.Set within the coveted Domain Precinct, the location is difficult to surpass, with Fawkner Park, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Albert Park and Darling Gardens, along with Domain Road, Toorak Road, cafs, restaurants and public transport all within easy reach.For downsizers wanting to simplify without compromising on space, storage or car accommodation, or professionals seeking a substantial top-floor residence in one of Melbourne's most prestigious inner-city settings, this is a genuinely rare South Yarra offering.
