OBVIOUS

The collaboration of Telha Clarke Architects and First Melbourne Development Group, Soho is the pinnacle of liveable ease. Nestled at the rear of the development and featuring not one, but two private north-facing outdoor terraces, your life here will be one of secluded living amongst an unrivalled village location. One thing you’ll grow accustomed to is the connection you’ll foster with the exterior landscape, thanks to the floor to ceiling windows. Here, amongst the natural light, your life will revolve around the open plan kitchen and living — with your choice of one colour for all joinery — which includes feature stone benchtops and splashbacks. Integrated appliances are Miele, fixtures and finishes throughout include burner gas cooktops with built-in rangehood, stylish brass tapware, and double under mount sinks. Both spacious bedrooms feature their own ensuite and built-in-robes. Read: harmonised balance. The floor plan is considered in not just its layout but use of space, and only three other apartments call this level home. It’s a balanced lifestyle to be lived here; one that unifies a sheltered retreat with the hum of Hawksburn village on your doorstep.

SEALS THE DEAL

It’s superb living in the suburb that’s not a suburb — Hawksburn. A morning coffee and croissant at Officine Zero. Steak frites and a glass of shiraz at Bistro Thierry. On your doorstep: Toscano’s, Stocked, Peter Bouchier. Around the corner: Princes Gardens and Victoria Gardens. It truly is one of the most culturally rich pockets of Melbourne, and it’s all within walking distance of this very home.
