Overview

This apartment, located on the second floor of the distinctive Albert Place building in Melbourne, offers a modern urban lifestyle characterized by architectural sophistication and practical design. Completed in 2020 by GURNER™ and designed by renowned architects Elenberg Fraser, the residence benefits from the building's unique triangular corner site, expressed in the apartment's diagonal bedroom walls and elegantly curved balcony.

The open-plan layout creates a seamless flow from entrance to balcony, enhancing natural light and maximizing space efficiency. High-quality finishes are evident throughout, including brand new wide-board timber flooring extending to the balcony threshold, and a kitchen designed for both aesthetics and functionality. The kitchen features a stone island with an inset sink, timber-grain drawers, and tall white cabinetry housing integrated fridge and pantry spaces, topped with a bronze-toned canopy over the cooktop.

Both bedrooms are carpeted and equipped with built-in wardrobes, with full-height glazing that accentuates the building's angled outer walls. The main bedroom includes a private ensuite bathroom, while the second bedroom is currently utilised as a study and library, offering flexibility for varying lifestyle needs. Bathrooms feature walk-in showers with frameless glass, rainfall showerheads, and veined tiling that extends to the ceiling, underscoring the apartment's attention to detail and luxury.

Additional amenities include ducted heating and cooling, intercom entry, and a secure basement parking space. Residents have exclusive access to the Prince Albert Private Club, a two-level facility with a bar, library, games room, and a 2,500-bottle wine cellar. Wellness facilities such as The Princes Baths include a Turkish-style bathhouse, a full-length lap pool, a sunken spa, and sauna, contributing to a resort-style living experience within the city.

Positioned just minutes on foot from Anzac Station, this location offers excellent public transport connections including the Metro Tunnel to key city precincts and tram access to St Kilda Road. Nearby green spaces like the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Tan, and Albert Park Lake provide ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, alongside proximity to prestigious schools, making the apartment suitable for professionals, downsizers, or investors seeking a stylish city base with quality amenities and convenient access.
