11/56 Darling Street,
SOUTH YARRA

THE DEAL

Bona Vista has long been one of South Yarra’s art deco icons, and from its top floor, this striking apartment claims both heritage detail and panoramic verdant views, synonymous with its privileged park-side setting. Overlooking Darling Gardens with the Yarra on the doorstep, it offers a calm backdrop only minutes from the city, where river trails, fine dining and transport are all at your fingertips.

The living room has presence, with original timber underfoot, ornate cornices overhead, and a fireplace that makes the entire space feel grounded and ambient. Natural light pours in through generous windows, drawing the eye out to the treetops, with the bedroom carrying the same generosity and aspect, its outlook every bit as captivating. In contrast, the kitchen is sharp and modern, with Bosch appliances and a mirrored splash back that reflects the sun, whilst the bathroom stays simple with a shower-over-bath.

And then there’s the position. The Yarra Trail sits at the door, leading you to the Botanic Gardens, The Tan for morning laps, Como Park and Fawkner Park, all an easy stroll away. Nights on Toorak Road and Gilson, weekends at the MCG, and long afternoons by the river are all part of the mix, yet from this vantage, the only thing you see is green.

SEALS THE DEAL

Two off-street car parks on title and an address most will only dream of.
