17/844 Malvern Road, Armadale.

Elevated at the very top of a coveted 1960s block on the Densham Road corner, this west facing apartment feels like a quiet lookout above Armadale. One of only eighteen in the building and in a peaceful rear position with no apartments on either side, it enjoys an unusual sense of privacy along with uninterrupted views across treetops, rooftops and the city skyline beyond. Inside, the layout holds all the generosity of its era. A classical living and dining room opens to a covered balcony that frames that long westward view, so you can watch the light change across Armadale by day and the city lights begin to shimmer at night. Two double bedrooms with built-in robes accompany a completely renovated bathroom that now pairs a large rain shower with crisp contemporary finishes and laundry amenity. Split system heating and cooling keeps things comfortable through every season, while solid brick construction, large double-glazed windows and the top floor position combine to create a calm, light filled home. The separate kitchen retains its practical proportions with excellent storage, a casual meals counter and Whirlpool appliances stepping the space neatly into the present. An off street car space, secure entry and the boutique scale of the block complete the appeal. From here it is a short stroll to Toorak Station or Beatty Avenue village for your morning coffee. A tram stop is 20m from the front door, and local parks and attractions are in every direction from this elevated retreat to come home to at the end of the day.
