2/36 Lansdowne Road, St Kilda East.

A fireplace, high ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors give this boutique apartment the kind of character newer builds don't match. Add an updated kitchen, modern bathroom, balcony and car space, and the appeal goes well beyond its good looks. Set within 'Earlston', a clinker-brick Art Deco block of just six, the apartment opens from a central hallway into a spacious living and dining room. The original fireplace remains a striking focal point, framed by a decorative mantel, while generous proportions make it easy to separate lounging and dining zones. The kitchen occupies one corner without intruding on the room. Timber-style cabinetry, pale benchtops, gas cooking, an underbench oven and integrated dishwasher lend it a contemporary finish, with storage extending to the ceiling. Both bedrooms are a good size. The main includes built-in robes, while the second opens directly onto a private balcony, adding fresh air and a welcome outdoor extension. The fully tiled bathroom is crisp in white, and a European laundry keeps the practical side neatly contained. There is also a split-system air conditioner and a car space complete the features. Alma Village, Alma Park and the cafés along Orrong Crescent are all within an easy walk. Dandenong Road trams, Woolworths Metro, Windsor and Balaclava stations, Chapel Street and Carlisle Street put shopping, eating out and transport in every direction. It is a strong choice for first buyers, professionals or investors looking for genuine period character without sacrificing everyday comfort.
