9/38 Arnold Street, South Yarra.

This absolutely delightful art deco era apartment enjoys a top floor setting in its evocative building, is complemented by laneway access from one of the Domain Precinct's most attractive tree lined streets. Period character and modern comfort are beautifully combined throughout bright spaces that commence with a living/dining area where polished floorboards, an open fire-place and high ceilings please the senses. A separate kitchen equipped with efficient appliances, dark tiled splash-backs, under bench laundry and a clever breakfast bar is enhanced by the apartment's private rear stairs access. The substantial double bedroom extends a warm welcome while a bathroom featuring a timelessly elegant black-and-white colour scheme is stylishly finished and faultlessly presented. Low-maintenance, instantly engaging and exceptionally generous for a one bedroom property, the charm of this apartment's dimensions is matched by the desirability of its location close to Fawkner Park, the Royal Botanic Gardens, tram routes, restaurants and the CBD. Quiet, coveted, convenient - and further complemented by friendly neighbours - a brilliant way to begin in vibrant South Yarra.
