Why families are showing interest in Kooyong's rare new apartment development, Mansard
Located in the tightly-held suburb of Kooyong, apartment development Mansard by developer Bon Yang Group offers a unique opportunity to become part of Melbourne's affluent residential landscape.
"Mansard really is such a rare opportunity to buy a brand new apartment in Kooyong, Jellis Craig Projects Director Stephen Bowtell says.
"There's less than 500 houses and apartments in the whole suburb. These opportunities don't come around often."
Nestled within Kooyong's verdant landscape, Mansard is surrounded by wide tree-lined streets, parklands, and easy access to various recreational amenities including the Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club, known as "The Spiritual Home of Tennis in Australia," where the prestigious Kooyong Classic is held annually.
Sir Robert Menzies Reserve, just steps away, offers an off-leash oval for a kick of football or playtime with dogs, Gardiner’s Creek Trail is also a few moments away for resident cyclists, while residents are a quick stroll over to Kooyong Gardens for a leisurely weekend picnics.
Coffee enthusiasts will find themselves in paradise, surrounded by top-notch cafes like Clubhouse and Brother’s Keeper, each offering unique flavours and atmospheres.
As the day transitions into night, wine bars and restaurants come alive, from Asian-inspired breakfasts at Saint Jaxie Cafe to vino at Milton Wine Shop and fresh pasta and wood-fired pizza at Matteo’s down the road.
Despite its peaceful ambience, Kooyong maintains excellent connectivity to wider Melbourne, with efficient public transport options including trains and trams. Residents can enjoy a 15-minute commute to the CBD and easy access to esteemed educational institutions, making Kooyong a desirable location for professionals and families alike.
Families at Mansard will benefit from proximity to renowned schools like Lauriston, St Kevin's, and Camberwell Grammar.
Bowtell expects the project to resonate with downsizers already within the Kooyong, Toorak belt, or those who want to enter one of Melbourne's most exclusive areas.
"There are 16 apartments divided into three separate buildings, Carr's thoughtful design has provided a maximum of only four apartments on each level, further adding to the project's boutique nature.”
There are a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, starting from $1,495,000.
