About this property
The Lookout - City and Rivers Views - by Ready Set Stay
Welcome to The Lookout– City & Yarra River Views, a luxurious inner-city sanctuary nestled along the Yarra River in vibrant South Yarra. Perfectly positioned just footsteps from the iconic Chapel Street precinct, this stylish two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers the ultimate blend of space, comfort, and spectacular views, including two car spaces.
YOUR HOME
Step inside this beautifully appointed 123sqm home and be greeted by a bright, open plan living and dining space flowing seamlessly to a large undercover balcony. North-facing and bathed in natural light, it showcases panoramic views of Melbourne’s city skyline and the peaceful Yarra River — the ideal spot to relax with a morning coffee or unwind at sunset.
The sleek granite-topped kitchen is fully equipped with a modern electric cooktop, dishwasher, and a coffee machine (BYO pods), while a hidden butler’s pantry doubles as a full laundry with washer and dryer. With brand-new, stylish furnishings throughout, every detail has been thoughtfully curated for a relaxing and functional stay.
Both bedrooms are generously sized and designed for privacy. The master suite includes a king bed, walk-in robe, and a spacious ensuite featuring a separate bath and shower. The second bedroom offers a king bed and built-in robe, with direct access to the main bathroom — effectively providing two en-suites for guest comfort. Floorboards run throughout the home for a clean, modern finish (no carpet), and remote work is easy with a dedicated study desk and chair.
You’ll stay connected with unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi, feel secure with video intercom entry and lift access, and enjoy the convenience of a secure underground car park and storage cage. Heating and cooling are included for year-round comfort.
The location is unbeatable. Walk or cycle the river trail directly outside your door to the Botanic Gardens, MCG, or into the city. Public transport is exceptional with a bus stop out front, nearby tram lines along Toorak Road, and South Yarra and East Richmond train stations just a short walk away. All of Melbourne’s best — world-class dining, shopping, nightlife, parks, and sporting precincts — are at your fingertips.
Whether visiting for business, relaxation, or to soak up Melbourne’s culture, The Lookout is your private escape in the heart of it all, complete with breathtaking views and every modern comfort.
