Overview

This freshly renovated two-bedroom apartment offers a fresh and inviting city-edge living experience in one of Melbourne's most vibrant locations. Nestled within a distinctive contemporary building, the design prioritizes easy-care interiors enhanced by natural light flowing through tall windows and the open-plan layout. A covered balcony extends the living area outdoors, perfect for relaxed mornings with a morning coffee and city views.

The interior boasts timber-style flooring that adds warmth and visual continuity throughout the living and dining spaces. The kitchen impresses with its sleek design featuring white cabinetry complemented by a mirrored splashback, gas cooktop, oven, and dishwasher. An eye-catching cylindrical rangehood enhances the modern aesthetic, while the inclusion of a European-style laundry adds practical convenience for everyday living.

Comfort and privacy are well considered in the layout, with two bedrooms each including built-in robes and positioned on either side of the thoughtfully located central bathroom. The bathroom’s contemporary touches include white tiled walls, a glass shower enclosure, and modern black tapware, reflecting a clean and crisp finish. Climate control is assured with split-system heating and cooling, while secure building entry and a striking timber-battened entrance contribute to safety and a welcoming atmosphere.

Ideal as a first home, a city base, or a savvy investment, this apartment is perfectly placed with Swanston Street trams literally at the doorstep, providing quick and easy access to the University of Melbourne, RMIT, Queen Victoria Market, Melbourne Central, and the wider CBD.
