Expressions of Interest - Closing Tuesday, 24th of March at 5 pm (unless sold prior). This modern apartment in the Mighty Apollo building carries a name with real history behind it. Paul Anderson, known as the Mighty Apollo, was a strongman of almost mythical reputation, famous for pulling trams with his teeth and letting elephants stand on him. Developer Gurner took his legendary Hawke Street gym and transformed the site into a boutique collection of just 27 homes that wears its industrial past on a very bold façade. Inside, the layout is sharp and considered. An entrance hall leads into open-plan living and dining where sliding doors open onto a north-facing covered balcony, its vivid yellow wall picking up the building's palette and blurring the line between inside and out. The kitchen runs cleanly along one wall, featuring white cabinetry, a gas cooktop, underbench oven, dishwasher and a black glass splashback. Two robed bedrooms share a bathroom with laundry facilities and the same yellow trim that gives the interior its personality. Split-system air conditioning, secure entry, a car space and above-bonnet storage are additional highlights. Queen Victoria Market, Flagstaff Gardens, Errol Street's cafés and a Woolworths Metro are all within walking distance. With zoning for University High School and North Melbourne Primary School, and the city virtually on the doorstep, leave the car where it is. This is the walking life.
