Abode

Rich in heritage, character and connection, this exceptional ground-floor residence presents a rare opportunity to secure a home within the cherished Ardoch Estate. Opening directly onto the estate’s central Village Green, this residence enjoys a peaceful outlook and an extraordinary sense of space, community and belonging rarely found so close to Melbourne’s inner suburbs.

Built in the 1920s and redeveloped in the 1990s, Ardoch remains a remarkable example of apartment living inspired by the English “Garden City movement”. Its beautifully maintained English-style gardens, communal green spaces and enduring architectural appeal create a unique residential environment where history and modern amenity exist in harmony.

Offering approximately 135sqm of living space, this home feels more like a house than an apartment. The thoughtfully designed floorplan provides two large bedrooms with built-in robes, a main bathroom with separate toilet, generous living and dining zones, a well-appointed kitchen with adjoining meals area, laundry facilities, and welcoming front and rear porches.

With no stairs to negotiate, the residence offers effortless ground-floor living, while a second rear entrance provides direct access to a secure off-street double carport. Residents also enjoy an exceptional suite of resort-style amenities, including a 25-metre indoor heated pool, sauna and dedicated exercise room, enhancing the comfort and convenience of this distinctive estate lifestyle.

Beyond the walls of the residence lies the true Ardoch experience — a safe, welcoming village-like setting where neighbours gather, children play, and mature gardens provide a peaceful retreat from the energy of the city.
