Inspired by the baroque architecture of the San Carlo Chapel in Rome, these exquisite apartments by Elenberg Fraser, ‘Lucia’, provide resort-style luxury in Melbourne’s most cosmopolitan and liveable suburb - South Yarra. Featuring an undulating and sculpted façade with vertical garden, Lucia provides a lifestyle oasis in the Forrest Hill precinct, offering residents light-filled and spacious living with extravagant communal amenity.

The palatial entry foyer and waiting lounge is fully tiled in stone, providing timber highlights and a spectacle of parabolic mirrors. An outdoor communal garden deck basks in northern sun, providing secluded sitting spaces and a black infinity heated pool and spa, overlooking the verdant grounds of Melbourne High, in addition to an extensive indoor gymnasium and sauna. Perfect for larger functions, a shared lounge, kitchenette and dining area can be booked by residents on the 16th floor. The lounge’s expansive terrace enjoys northern views over the Yarra, while the dining room terrace absorbs spectacular bay views over Fawkner Park to the south.

With a focus on natural materials, the apartments’ sumptuous interiors flaunt extensive stone, timber and mirrored finishes, with wool-blend carpets and contemporary fixtures, swaddled in the comfort of split system air-conditioning. Full height windows and wide balconies provide natural light and air flow, delivering a modern indoor-outdoor entertainment experience. Bathrooms and kitchens boast timber laminate and gloss cabinetry, with frameless shower screens and European laundry to the bathrooms, and a full-appointment of quality Miele appliances, stone benches and smoked mirrored splashbacks to kitchens.

Placed at the northern end of Chapel street, this fabulous location provides instant access to South Yarra train station through a planned green corridor pedestrian lane, with trams at the top of the street, and all that South Yarra has to offer at your doorstep – boutique fashion, alluring cafés and international cuisines, entertainment, relaxing walking trails and barbecue areas along the Yarra River, verdant parklands, and the vibrant Prahran Market.
