19/11-21 Marne Street, South Yarra VIC 3141
Over 100sqm of elevated art deco living
For those that know Castle Towers, the only reasons you will need to inspect this incredible apartment is that it is 102sqm (approx.) on the East side, with beautiful leafy views across Marne Street. Those new to South Yarra may not know how significant this historic building is, but as soon as cross the threshold of the splendid entrance & into the ornate reception area, the feeling of grandeur is instant. What's more important is the realisation that, since 1941, Castle Towers has been home to a community where people look out for each other. The apartment itself is a testament to Arthur Plaisted's genius, where his focus on access to natural light from every room & the perfect mix of open space & separate living zones is executed to perfection. The renovated main bathroom with Japanese style bath & separate shower creates a calm space to unwind. The powder room & second bedroom are functional additions, as is the huge amount of cleverly designed storage throughout. The separate kitchen & laundry spaces similarly add function to form, a difficult balance in design which has been realised here effortlessly.
Yes, it has parking, & no, there isn't a single step between the street & your front door. The Silver Birch Trees dapple light in the morning across the open living & dining spaces, as well as provide that green outlook that enriches every moment spent at home. For those looking for a Melbourne base who don't know this area that well, Google Maps doesn't do this location justice. A short walk from one end of Marne Street to the other should be convincing enough, with Fawkner Park at one end & the Botanic Gardens at the other. The local Domain Rd strip is the most pleasant village, while access to the city via the Yarra River, NGV or the Melbourne Sports & Entertainment Precinct make this a very special spot. Given its architectural pedigree, it is no surprise that this inter-war gem gets all the little things right & it will impress upon inspection. With a huge common rooftop terrace & panoramic view of the city, there is more than the apartment itself to get excited about (just in case your own private balcony wasn't enough). Convenient parking, lift access & the secure entrance into an impeccably kept reception; there is so much to love about Castle Towers & everything apartment nineteen has to offer
