21 Chapel Mews,

South Yarra

This contemporary New York loft-style apartment stuns with a soaring double-height ceiling and a sweeping open-plan layout overlooking a leafy, private courtyard with a private entrance that sets it apart. Across two light-filled levels, it lives like a townhouse, with the ease of a boutique complex and beautifully kept communal gardens.

Downstairs, the living and dining zones open through double sliding doors to a sunny courtyard, so entertaining flows easily between indoors and out. The sleek galley kitchen has gas cooking, an integrated oven, a dishwasher and full-height cabinetry. A powder room and concealed laundry complete the level.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a retreat of treetop views through louvred windows., plush carpet, a built-in robe and a pristine ensuite complete the level. The cantilevered mezzanine, looks over the void below, adding a touch of architectural theatre.

Split-system heating and cooling, remote block-out blinds, secure basement parking for two side-by-side with direct internal access and a generous storage cage complete the picture.

Residents also enjoy an indoor pool, gym, spa and sauna.

The location is at the river end of Chapel Street, close to acclaimed dining, boutique retail and lively wine bars. The Royal Botanic Gardens and the Yarra Trail are nearby, and trams and trains put the CBD minutes away.

Entry via the SY21 gate next to 800 Chapel Street.
