Proof that period classics are always in style is provided with charming success by this private, inviting apartment in 'MAYLENE', a building where tradition, temptation and location are brought together beautifully. Originally one of the Footscray Fire Brigade residences, the ground floor proportions commence with a captivating living room featuring polished floorboards, high ceilings and efficient heating/air-conditioning. A period mood and modern practicality are impressively combined in the separate kitchen/meals area, of a design in which two double glazed bedrooms, each with its own polished floorboards, share a central bathroom that's attractively appointed and impeccably presented. This is a superb opportunity to secure a fully updated apartment in a much loved Footscray address, tightly held and one of only ten, from which tram routes, restaurants, shopping and the city can all be quickly and conveniently reached.
