Opposite the Sandridge Rail Trail, this striking two bedroom Hawthorn brick residence, on a large single block of 150m2 approx., is eye catching both inside and out. A 20th century nod to 19th century charm, this single fronted gem is quality built with hardwood herringbone parquetry floors, beamed timber ceilings and exposed brick walls. An outstanding unit alternative on its own title, this parkside haven reveals a tall entrance hallway leading into the two sizeable bedrooms with mirrored built in robes, a spacious open plan living and dining area, a well appointed kitchen with an induction cooktop, Asko dishwasher and high timber counter; a light filled bathroom and a compact laundry. The north west facing garden courtyard lets you sit in the sun or shade soaking up the nearby sea breeze. Ultra low maintenance for lifestyle living, this inner city retreat is equipped with split system air conditioning, handy storage and living room speakers. At the city end of the suburb, close to the light rail, two popular cafes and a choice of great pubs including the steak lovers' favourite the Railway Club Hotel, an easy walk to all the Bay Street culture, Port Melbourne Primary School and the Normanby Road Coles, while within reach of Port Melbourne Beach, the South Melbourne Market and Southbank.
