An unbeatable city-edge location by the Carlton Gardens complements the brilliant corner position of this excellent 2 bedroom apartment with 3 alfresco areas in a boutique block. Superbly designed capitalizing on an elevated north/east-facing aspect capturing abundant sunlight and views, this spacious split-level apartment combines modern style and quality appointments in an impeccably-presented, low-maintenance package. Polished floorboards line a large L-shaped living and dining zone where French doors provide the perfect flow out to a covered balcony with views sweeping from Murchison Square to the north and a bigger 2nd balcony overlooking an illustrious terrace row. Central is an outstanding kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and stone-topped breakfast bench, while further are 2 sizable bedrooms (main opening to a private balcony), a striking modern bathroom and a European laundry. Enhanced by split-system heating/cooling, security intercom, built-in robes and a basement car parking space on title, this light-filled apartment is an exceptional lock and leave, low-upkeep opportunity just minutes to the CBD, Queen Victoria Market and major hospitals while only a short stroll to exciting Lygon & Brunswick Streets, trams, Melbourne University, Royal Exhibition Building and the Melbourne Museum.
