Perched atop one of East Melbourne’s most prestigious residential streets, this exceptional residence is set within a tightly held, iconic “Ocean Liner” style building—beautifully restored in 2009 and rich in character from its original terrazzo entry to its elegant stairwell.

Occupying a prized top-floor position with a desirable north-facing aspect, the apartment is bathed in natural light and enjoys tranquil, tree-top privacy with sweeping district views. The owner-occupier has lovingly maintained the home since its renovation, ensuring a level of care and presentation rarely found.

Inside, timeless period charm meets everyday functionality. Original polished hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and classic windows create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while excellent cross-ventilation enhances comfort year-round. The separate kitchen is thoughtfully appointed and includes integrated whitegoods, complemented by a discreet European laundry. Fully electric and perfectly suited to modern living, the layout also provides an ideal work-from-home environment or city pad.

Positioned at the prestigious, tree-lined end of George Street, framed by heritage elm trees, the location is as impressive as the home itself. Surrounded by beautiful period residences, the Gainsmont apartments are just moments from an array of local cafés, wine bars, and established dining options.

Enjoy a lifestyle of unparalleled convenience with a short stroll through the heritage-listed Fitzroy Gardens leading directly into the CBD. Walk through Yarra Park to reach Melbourne’s premier sporting and entertainment precinct including the Melbourne Cricket Ground, AAMI Park, and Rod Laver Arena, or unwind along the nearby Yarra River.

Excellent transport connectivity is assured with easy access to West Richmond and Jolimont railway stations, tram routes 48 and 75, and the 246 Hoddle Street bus. The vibrant lifestyle hubs of Richmond, Abbotsford, Collingwood, and Fitzroy are all within close reach.

Additional highlights include eligibility for two resident parking permits (STCA) and access to a peaceful communal garden—an inviting retreat for residents to relax and unwind.

A rare offering that seamlessly blends heritage elegance, modern comfort, and a blue-chip inner-city lifestyle.
