Occupying a prominent address within the College Square campus, this well-configured one-bedroom apartment represents a sound opportunity for investors and students. With the University of Melbourne across the road and an outstanding suite of shared facilities within the building, the lifestyle on offer here is hard to match.
Inside, the living and dining area provides a comfortable, well-proportioned space with wall heating to keep things cosy through the cooler months.

The west-facing bedroom is fitted with a built-in robe and benefits from afternoon light, with carpet underfoot throughout. The bathroom is finished with laminate benchtops and tiled flooring.

Residents also have access to a fully equipped gym, a large common lounge, a dedicated study space, and a games room, all within a well-secured building staffed by an on-site receptionist.
The location is exceptional. Swanston Street trams are directly outside (route 1 and 6), with Parkville Station a short walk away for rail connections. Lygon Court is nearby for everyday needs, with Melbourne Central Shopping Centre and the CBD moments away for more extensive shopping. The University of Melbourne is on the doorstep along with Monash University Parkville for students and professionals alike.
