This is our apt. near the city of Melbourne, one block from the beach. Great for catching city culture, bike riding along the coast, public transport, a plethora of amazing restaurants, thriving cafe culture, shopping, etc. Our building has wonderful amenities such as indoor pool, sauna, spa, gym, gardens, library, etc. - it’s just fantastic! Port Melbourne is the city's best kept secret.
The space
My husband is tall, so we needed a light and airy apt. which this definitely is! The gorgeous garden is on the 3rd floor, same as our apt., as is the pool, spa, gym, etc.
We have 2 teenage daughters so we turned the dining room into another bedroom with a lovely double bed.
Everything is user friendly, pleasant to look at and for an ocean view, just walk out the front door of the building. We just love it but our bc primary residence is in Daylesford (love to list our house but we have 2 dogs…) so it's often available.
Guest access
3rd floor, elevator access, secure parking garage.
