Nestled in the prestigious suburb of South Yarra is this lovely, light-filled apartment on the top floor of the 2 storey Art Deco apartment building ‘The Manor’ in the historic Lawson Grove precinct. Designed by renowned architect Howard Ratcliff Lawson the building facade features Lawson’s unique fusion of Art Deco / Spanish Mission / Hollywood styles. There are only 9 apartments in 'The Manor' building and its location, in the centre of this rare intact heritage precinct, protects it from being ‘built out’. This delightful apartment has wonderful Art Deco features with expansive north and east-facing windows, ornate ceilings, abundant natural light, a small but cleverly designed Carrara marble kitchen and a layout that creates an easy living space. The apartment is not overlooked by other apartments and the bathroom has bright natural light. The Manor apartments rarely change hands and this apartment last changed hands 30+ years ago. The apartment has often been described as ‘bijou’ and ‘a gem’ and Lawson Grove itself is a hidden cul de sac. Visitors to the area have described Lawson Grove as like being in Paris and their favourite street in Melbourne. Lawson Grove is within walking distance to all the best of South Yarra – beautiful Botanic Gardens and 'The Tan' running track, Chapel St shops & cafes, Domain Rd bustling cafe scene, Como Palace cinema, Prahran Market, the NGV and MCG & Rod Laver Arena. It is across the road from the newly developed Yarra River walking/bike track and has easy access to various forms of transport. And downstairs, in the adjoining building, your own cafe, The Lawson Grove Shop. With its unique design, charming interior, and an array of local amenities, this exclusive address offers a haven of tranquillity amidst the vibrant energy of the city. Whether enjoying the nearby cultural offerings, indulging in retail therapy, or simply revelling in the comfort of this delightful apartment, you can experience a life of charm and convenience.
