From the street, this boutique block turns heads, all black-framed glazing with greenery spilling over the fence line. Inside, the contemporary apartment is every bit as stylish. Glass wraps around the living area from floor to ceiling, so light pours in all day and the treetops feel close enough to touch.

A dedicated entrance hall, with the European laundry hidden behind bi-fold doors, leads through to open-plan living and dining floored in timber. The sharp and glossy kitchen is so neatly integrated that it reads as part of the architecture. Appliances sit flush within the cabinetry, marble swathes the benchtop, and the clean-lined design looks sensational from end to end.

Then there's the bonus of two balconies, one on either side. The first opens off the living area through sliding doors and is big enough for a bistro setting and a crowd of potted ferns, with leafy views. The second, accessed from both bedrooms, is screened for privacy.

The bedrooms are a step up from the usual too, with mirrored built-in robes, soft carpet and full-height windows that keep them bright. The bathroom has a touch of luxury, with marble tiling, a frameless glass shower, floating vanity and wall-hung toilet. Split-system heating and cooling, secure intercom access, storage cage and a car space round it all out.

On the corner of Ormond Road, Elwood Village is yours to enjoy, with shops, cafés, bakeries and wine bars just moments from the door. Turn the other way and the road ends at the beach, so a morning swim, a cycle along the foreshore or a long, lazy day on the sand is as easy as stepping outside. When you fancy a change of scene, Elsternwick Park and Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve are close by too.

Visually striking and a stone's throw from everything Elwood does best, this is a genuine standout.
