Light-filled privacy in a landmark heritage setting

Set within Cheltenham's landmark 'Retreat House' development, where leafy tranquillity meets outstanding convenience, this distinctive 80m2 (approx.) apartment combines contemporary living with the character and serenity of its heritage-listed surrounds.

Occupying a wonderfully private top-floor position, with no apartments directly adjoining either side or above, the home reveals thoughtfully presented interiors, impressive proportions and a peaceful sense of seclusion.

The open-plan living/dining zone is awash with natural light, allowing every element to shine, while warm timber floorboards flow across this harmonious space and contrast beautifully with crisp white walls.

Accessed via statement glass doors, the sun-kissed entertainers' balcony effortlessly extends the living area, overlooking a magnificent century-old oak that provides a lush green outlook and wonderful natural privacy for much of the year, with glimpses of the estate's original red-brick Victorian building beyond.

The well-appointed kitchen creates a sleek yet timeless aesthetic with feature stone benchtops, a streamlined splashback and freshly updated gloss cabinetry facades, complemented by a premium Miele electric oven and dishwasher, alongside a gas cooktop.

Both bedrooms are generous in size and fitted with wall-mounted heaters for winter warmth, positioned within easy reach of the pristine two-way bathroom, which offers a full-size bath for relaxed evenings and a separate shower for busy mornings.

Notable finishing touches include split-system heating and cooling for optimal comfort, a convenient powder room and discreet European laundry, spacious built-in robes, secure building access and an allocated outdoor car space.

Perfect for buyers seeking serenity close to Cheltenham's vibrant heart, this charming apartment enjoys a peaceful setting surrounded by established gardens, with nearby green space connecting directly to local parkland. Cheltenham East Primary School, Cheltenham Secondary College, childcare facilities and local bus routes are all within a short walk.

It's also moments from Westfield Southland, cosmopolitan restaurants, Cheltenham and Southland train stations and Nepean Highway, while just a 10-minute drive from leading private schools and glorious sandy beaches.

Blending modern comfort with exceptional privacy, convenience and blissful surroundings, this distinctive apartment presents an enviable lifestyle opportunity for first-home buyers, professionals, downsizers and investors alike.
