8/99 Brougham Street, Kew, Vic 3101

Elevated on the first floor of low-rise Brougham Heights, this boutique apartment reveals an easy sense of space from the moment you enter. The rooms are generous, the northern aspect brings in beautiful natural light, and the covered balcony looks through a screen of tall trees that gives the interior a lovely leafy backdrop.

The lounge is particularly spacious, comfortably fitting a full suite without feeling crowded. Wide windows stretch across the rear, drawing the outlook inside and opening to the balcony, where you can sit outdoors and enjoy the greenery. A gas heater takes care of cooler days.

Alongside, the meals area gives dining its own place rather than tucking the table into a corner. Warm chevron parquetry adds character here and continues through to the kitchen, which combines stone benchtops, gas cooking, good storage and a large window that keeps it bright.

Both bedrooms are well proportioned and fitted with built-in robes. The bathroom includes a bath and separate shower along with laundry facilities, while the toilet is conveniently separate. A single car space completes the practical side while a communal courtyard with BBQ enhances entertaining prospects.

The drawcards continue well beyond these walls. Kew Junction is an easy walk away, putting cafés, supermarkets, boutiques and restaurants within strolling distance, while city-bound trams put the CBD within easy reach. In the other direction, Studley Park and the Yarra River trails bring some of Melbourne’s best green space into the neighbourhood. The address is also zoned for Kew Primary School and Kew High School, with quick access to the Eastern Freeway.

This is a substantial apartment with the size, natural light and established surroundings that give older buildings so much of their appeal.

We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.
