Property Setting: One block from the Yarra River in the trendy arts precinct of Melbourne, amongst fine old buildings and wonderful laneways (Melway map 1B - M9)


	Apartment 401, in the much photographed, historic Majorca Building, is the ideal location for a Melbourne apartment. Immerse yourself in the cultural heart of the city. Discover Melbourne's fascinating laneways and the reasons why the city is acclaimed as the Arts capital of Australia and has a reputation for world class restaurants. Art lovers, foodies and shoppers will find this stylish apartment is the ideal accommodation for their stay in Melbourne.

Property Description:
The historic Majorca Building is a magnificent art deco building designed by Harry Norris, one of Melbourne's most notable architects. A security entrance leads into the impressive foyer with its many original features including decorative ironwork, marble stairs and tiling, and a charming, old-style, fully operational elevator.
This fully refurbished apartment is housed on the fourth floor with windows overlooking the Flinders Lane precinct and the tiny Degraves Street, a favourite spot with Melbourne's coffee drinkers. The bedroom has a small Juliet balcony. Full height, concertina doors can be drawn closed to separate the bedroom from the living room, otherwise the interior retains the open space character of a studio apartment. The living room floor is deep red polished timber changing to carpet for the bedroom area. High ceilings and lofty, casement windows are major features from the era.
The apartment is furnished with stylish contemporary items and eclectic antiques from the owners' private collection. A sleek, functional kitchen, finished in light and dark timber, is separated from the dining area by a bar-style bench. A well appointed bathroom is located off the bedroom.

Special Features:
The location of Apartment 401 is not easily surpassed. Once the centre of Melbourne's rag trade, Flinders Lane is now the 'in' place for stylish loft apartments, intimate bars and eateries, and unique shopping experiences. Flinders Lane is also a premier arts precinct and has Australia's highest concentration of commercial art galleries.
As a shopping destination, Flinders Lane is up with the best. Lined with quintessentially Melbourne boutiques, you'll find edgy and experimental designs and in nearby Collins Street, all the haute couture and classic labels too.
Just around the corner is Melbourne's Federation Square, home of the National Gallery of Victoria's Ian Potter Centre, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image and the city's Visitor Information Centre.
