The lifestyle at your fingertips is remarkable with cafes, restaurants, bars, public transport and parks all in the immediate vicinity.
It is perfectly positioned beside the vibrant Lygon street, major universities and the hospitals precinct.
Directly across the road the tranquil Lincoln square with its mature green canopies serves almost as a front lawn to residents and provides a friendly neighbourhood feel.

The Carlton Gardens are merely a few streets away. This 64 acre world heritage site is popular with joggers, picnickers and families. The site is home to the Melbourne museum, the Exhibition centre and tennis courts - recreational space abound for body and mind.

The apartment has been recently renovated to provide a bright inviting space that's ready for you to move in.

Within the apartment you will enjoy a spacious double bedroom with built in mirrored wardrobes.
The large and separate bathroom has mirrored cabinetry, generous storage capacity and a large walk in shower cubicle.

The kitchen boasts a kitchen island which provide excellent storage and worktop space. The oven and gas cooktop are Smeg with the addition of a new Bosch underbench dishwasher.

You can step straight out from the lounge to enjoy your morning cuppa on the compact, covered balcony, which is East facing for some feel good morning sun.

Living areas are heated by new 2400W Delonghi convection timer heating panels.

There is an internal laundry with space for both washing machine and tumble dryer. No trips to the laundromat.


The property comes with a car space. It is in an undercover secure, remote access garage and is internally accessed to avoid being caught in the rain.

Here you will also find the very rare attribute of your own large storage cage. This provides invaluable space for those occasionally used items of luggage, furniture, camping equipment etc.

Included added features are a communal outdoor barbeque area and function room with large outdoor patio.

As well as being beside Melbourne University, it is also zoned for the top performing Carlton Gardens Primary School and University High School.
