3/292 The Avenue

Parkville VIC 3052

Brentwood Court is a small apartment building, on a vast site formerly occupied by a Parkville mansion; it was constructed in 1939 in the late Deco style pioneered by the renowned Swiss architect Frederick Romberg. With strong horizontal lines and ocean-liner balconies, the wide building, set in landscaped gardens, has immediate street appeal. This large upper-level apartment (one of only eight), in sound partly-renovated condition, offers wonderful scope for further improvement in this exclusive precinct close to the CBD tram route, bike paths, Sydney Road cafes and Melbourne University.

A wide entrance lobby leads on one side to the well-proportioned living and dining room, open to a neat functional kitchen; a curved wall echoes the lines of the spacious balcony overlooking the park and the inner-circle railway cutting. To the other side of the lobby is a sunny double bedroom (formerly the kitchen) with a separate external entry. The hallway leads past a large bathroom/ laundry to two further double bedrooms with park views.

Metal-framed windows to three sides ensure year-round natural light. This attractive historic property features polished timber floors, an open fireplace, picture rails and gas heating. The title includes a lock-up garage and storage area.
