304/35 Simmons Street, South Yarra

This modern third-floor residence in the low-rise Echo Apartments complex is positioned in a tree-lined enclave with Dye Works Park as its immediate neighbour. The setting strikes a beautiful balance, with leafy calm on one side and the buzz of Chapel Street on the other.

Inside, the living and dining room opens up generously, drawn toward a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass and a sliding door that flows onto a covered balcony overlooking the parkland and framed by treetops. It’s private, sheltered and removed from the street. The kitchen is stylish and streamlined, with stone benchtops, an induction cooktop, an under-bench oven and a dishwasher.

Two good-sized bedrooms with built-in robes sit either side of a softly neutral bathroom with shower and toilet. A separate guest powder room near the entry keeps visitors clear of the sleeping zone, a small detail but a smart one. A European laundry, split-system air conditioning, secure car parking and video intercom entry are included.

Then there is Dye Works Park, which functions almost as your own backyard with a communal BBQ area, half-court basketball, picnic settings, shaded groves and radial coloured concrete paths threading through the green. Chapel Street, Prahran Aquatic Centre and Como Cinemas are a quick walk away. Toorak Primary, Prahran High, Melbourne High and Melbourne Girls' Grammar sit comfortably within reach, with South Yarra Station and trams making the commute simple.

Don't dream the lifestyle. Own it.
