Step into community, culture and convenience with this mid-century double brick apartment thoughtfully designed by the iconic Sir Roy Grounds, architect of the NGV. Located in the most sought-after block in the complex, this home is the perfect retreat from buzzing inner city life. In 2020, the Urban Forest Fund from City of Melbourne council assisted residents of the block to transform the communal courtyard and parking area into a usable green space for play, conversation and general wellbeing. Vegetable plots, fruiting trees and herb beds, vertical gardens, rainwater tanks, compost bins, seating areas, a basketball hoop, secure rooftop washing line and bike storage creates exceptional liveability of shared areas before you even step foot inside this home.
Tucked away from the street in the peaceful and leafy south/east corner, the apartment benefits from its corner positioning with a north facing private entrance, exceptional panoramic views, and natural light from all angles. Two lovely bedrooms fitted with generous built in robes sit alongside an open plan lounge/living space, recently renovated kitchen, laundry and bathroom with walk-in shower, and ample storage found in every room, complete with air conditioning, highly insulating cellular blinds, and built-in shelving. In the rear, a neat balcony fit for morning coffees and afternoon tipples await, perfect for both the quieter moments and entertaining.
Located in the heart of foodie-heaven North Melbourne, just 2km away from the Melbourne CBD and Queen Victoria Market, a short stroll to North Melbourne Pool and Errol Street cafe's, restaurants, bars and grocery stores, as well as abundant Royal Park with its children's playground, running paths, and diverse wildlife, this apartment is a true lifestyle choice. Commutes anywhere in the city are made easy with the city bound 57 tram, the Carlton/Footscray 402 bus, new Arden Station and improved bike lanes at your fingertips. Zoned for University High School and North Melbourne Primary School, with additional proximity to the state's leading hospitals and universities, this home is suitable for first home buyers, professionals, students, or young families alike.
