Plenty of one-bedroom apartments come with a balcony, but very few offer a terrace this size, wrapping around two sides of the home. That's the real bonus at this Perlux apartment, and it makes life here feel brighter, airier and far more sociable than you'd expect.
The interior is generous too. Pale timber floors run through the kitchen, dining and living zones, and two sets of sliding doors and a long run of windows bring in the sunshine from morning to late afternoon. A split-system air conditioner adds comfort whatever the season.
The kitchen sits so naturally within the design that it almost disappears, with warm timber-look cabinetry, a glass splashback, a pantry and stainless-steel appliances, including an oven, cooktop and dishwasher. A dining table for four fits easily beside the doors, which is exactly where you'll want to be when friends come over.
Step outside and the terrace just keeps going. A built-in timber bar bench lines one wall, so you can pull up a stool for pre-dinner cocktails before heading out to Sydney Road. Further along, there's room for an outdoor setting, a few pot plants and anything else you'd like to bring out into the sun.
The bedroom is a good size, with carpet underfoot, a built-in robe and its own window drawing in natural light. The bathroom has a bath with a shower over, a wide vanity and crisp white tiling, and a concealed European laundry sits off the entry hall. You also get a car space and storage unit, plus bike storage, audio intercom entry and a beautifully landscaped communal garden with timber decking and built-in seating.
Out the front door, Brunswick is all yours, and deciding where to eat might be your biggest problem. Sydney Road's cafés, bars, live music venues and bakeries are an easy walk, Gilpin Park is close by, and trams, Brunswick Station and Anstey Station make getting around simple.
One bedroom might be all you need, but with a terrace like this, you're getting so much more.
