The Stanley — Collingwood Meticulously designed for those who relish an indoor-outdoor aesthetic, this elegant two-bedroom apartment showcases an enchanting wrap-around terrace, seamlessly blending a contemporary space with breathtaking panoramas. Nestled in the heart of Smith Street's diverse culinary scene, enticing boutiques, and lively nightlife, the residence offers unparalleled convenience, with city-bound trams providing swift access to Carlton Gardens and the CBD.
The Space 150m² overall (approx.), including a 75m² interior and a 75m² wrap-around terrace.
What You Actually Get The open-plan living space has a genuinely dynamic indoor-outdoor feel, ideal for both relaxing in and dining out on the terrace. Chic oak floorboards run underfoot, and the space is bathed in natural light, framed by breathtaking skylines stretching over the Dandenong Ranges. The kitchen is sleek and modern, with lustrous stone tops, a mirrored splashback, and a hostess island bar equipped with quality appliances. Two well-appointed bedrooms offer twinkling neighbourhood views by night, both serviced by a shared, fully tiled bathroom and a separate European laundry. Central heating and air-conditioning cover the living area, and lift access gives you a direct route down to the Coles supermarket in the building. Guests also have use of the communal landscaped gardens, covered BBQ areas, rooftop terraces and a quiet library lounge.
The Location (Without the Spin) This is a genuine Walker's Paradise — daily errands don't require a car. The 86 tram (Waterfront City Docklands–Bundoora RMIT) stops literally on your doorstep at Charles St/Smith St, and it runs every 5 minutes at peak hour, getting you into the CBD in 15–20 minutes without much thought. Trams within the city grid are free, so you won't need a Myki for that stretch. Smith St, Victoria St, Brunswick St, Johnstone St, Fitzroy and Richmond are all on your doorstep, with St Vincent's Hospital and St Vincent's Private close by too. Nearby parks include Cambridge Street Reserve, George Street Reserve and Condell Street Park, and the closest bike share station is a 2–3 minute walk on Brewery Lane. It's an easy neighbourhood to fall for — a golden sunrise with a local coffee, a wander through leafy Fitzroy, or an evening stroll home from the city instead of catching the tram.
Where to Eat (We've Actually Been) Proud Mary — everyone's right about this one, get there before 9. Smith & Daughters — plant-based, genuinely good, book if it's a weekend. Smith Street Bistro — for when you want a table and a wine list. Smith Street itself — a genuine culinary strip, worth wandering with no fixed plan. Parking, Sorted Secure, reserved undercover parking for one car (2.1m clearance).
Pet Friendly Pets are welcome here, subject to our pet stay conditions — and there's a leash-free park just around the corner on Peel Street.
