The ‘Board Room’ is a stately apartment beautifully positioned in the exclusive Port Authority Building on the corner of Flinders Lane in Melbourne’s west end.

Crafted from granite, with a grand foyer and internal lift, the Port Authority Building is grand testament to Melbourne’s maritime heritage, designed in flamboyant Beaux Arts style by Sydney Smith Ogg & Serpell in 1929.

Today a magnificent residence, this three bedroom, two bathroom apartment is one of Melbourne’s most noteworthy town residences.

Agent Ross Savas told WILLIAMS MEDIA, "This stunning apartment has an air of worldly sophistication with an incredible pedigree, located in one of Melbourne’s most significant historical buildings."

Backdropped by regal ornate ceilings, handsome blackwood panelling, and parquetry flooring, the interiors have been renovated by SJB Interiors, led by head designer Ljiljana Gazevic, to reflect the richness of the building but also 21st century Melbourne. SJB Interiors told WILLIAMS MEDIA the brief for the Parisian-inspired home was "to create a sophisticated, luxurious apartment that provides a comfortable setting for the display and enjoyment of the extensive collection of the owner’s artwork. These spaces have been designed to offer memorable experiences whether entertaining larger groups or more intimate occasions."

The keystone of the home is the remarkable board room space, a flagship for entertaining yet intimate for daily living, with a marble kitchen, ethanol fireplace and moveable bar balancing the classical architecture. 

A second marble kitchen adds additional flexibility to the internal footprint that also hosts a sitting room and study. The apartment also includes secure parking for 2.5 cars.

The three bedroom accommodation features two bedrooms with silk faced wardrobes and marble ensuites, one with a freestanding bath.

Situated within walking distance of Melbourne’s financial and Law Court districts, the apartment is a stroll from Southbank restaurants, the Yarra River and Crown Entertainment complex and enjoys transport options in every direction including trams and trains from Flinders Street and Spencer Street stations.
