902/280 Albert Street, East Melbourne, Vic 3002

Commanding an elevated position on the prized southwestern section of ‘The Eastbourne’, this exceptional residence presents an uncompromising lifestyle defined by luxury and sophistication in one of Melbourne’s most prestigious inner city neighbourhoods.
It enjoys remarkable sweeping views across the Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne’s city skyline encompassing the iconic St Patrick’s Cathedral and extending to distant views of Port Phillip Bay. By evening, the illuminated city and cathedral form a dramatic backdrop to the living and entertaining spaces.
Fully glazed floor to ceiling windows bring the outlook into every part of the home. Soaring 2.9-metre ceilings, a feature only of this level and the two above, heighten the sense of light and space, while the apartment’s elevation above the neighbouring Eades Street building line provides an uncommon degree of openness and privacy.
Within the southwestern section of Level 9, only four residences are served by the lift lobby. Of the three two-bedroom apartments in this section, only 902 is uniquely positioned to enjoy both garden and city outlooks - a distinction that sets it apart.
The living and dining areas open seamlessly to a protected terrace, creating an inviting setting for relaxed daily living and elegant entertaining. The adjoining kitchen is centred around a substantial island bench and breakfast bar, with premium European appliances, excellent storage and an easy connection to the living, dining and outdoor spaces.
Privately positioned, the main bedroom features extensive fitted robes, a twin vanity ensuite and direct terrace access. The separately zoned second bedroom has wall to wall built in robes and is served by a beautifully appointed central bathroom. A discreet European laundry and abundant internal storage add to everyday practicality.
Thoughtfully integrated technology includes a home automation hub, smartphone controlled lighting and fully automated blinds throughout. Secure lift access, a discreet secondary resident entrance from quieter Eades Street, two side by side car spaces and a private basement storage cage directly below the apartment complete an exceptional inner city home.
Designed by Bates Smart for Mirvac, The Eastbourne is one of Melbourne’s most distinguished residential addresses. Completed in 2019 and recognised with the 2020 UDIA Award for Excellence in High Density Development, its architecture draws the Fitzroy Gardens into the building through broad terraces, layered masonry and extensive stone detailing associated with the site’s history as the former home of Dallas Brooks Hall and Freemasons Victoria.
Residents enjoy an exceptional collection of inspired wellness, leisure and entertaining facilities, including a 20-metre heated indoor pool, spa, steam room, fully equipped gymnasium, yoga and pilates studio, private cinema, business centre and 24-hour concierge services. The building offers beautifully considered resident spaces that include the Retreat and The Conservatory incorporating an elegant resident lounge and entertaining spaces, including a courtyard terrace with barbecue facilities, bookable kitchen and private dining room. Visitor parking and electric vehicle charging and being pet friendly add further convenience.
Directly opposite Fitzroy Gardens and minutes from the tram, CBD, MCG, Parliament, theatres, restaurants and galleries, Apartment 902 combines the calm and character of East Melbourne’s leafy streets and distinguished historic character with easy access to the best of the city. 
Rarely does a two-bedroom residence unite this elevation, privacy, outlook, exceptional world class resident amenities and privileged address opposite Fitzroy Gardens in such a tightly held enviable East Melbourne setting.
