Lifestyle, Location & Low Maintenance Living

This solidly built, brick townhouse straddles the village charm of Kensington and the multicultural energy of the Flemington precinct, offering a generous 65sqm* of bright, contemporary living across two thoughtfully planned levels.

The north-facing orientation is the real standout abundant natural light pours through onto stylish hybrid timber floorboards, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. Upstairs, a generous open-plan living and dining zone flows onto a private balcony, complemented by a functional kitchen and a split-system for year-round comfort. Downstairs, a well-proportioned bedroom with built-in robes, combined bathroom and laundry, a sun-drenched courtyard and a covered carport with rear access rounds it all out.

Positioned directly opposite Newmarket Station and steps from the Route 57 tram, connectivity here is effortless. Newmarket Plaza (groceries, chemist, specialty stores) is literally across the road, while the vibrant Racecourse Road dining precinct - providing everything from espresso to cult-favourite laksa - is moments away on foot. Convenient access to Citylink for the times you do need to drive - this equally compelling for owner-occupiers and investors targeting the professional rental market.

On its own title, with low strata fees and minimal upkeep, this is a smart, no-fuss opportunity in one of Melbourne's most liveable inner-north pockets. Whether you're stepping onto the property ladder or adding a high-yielding asset to your portfolio, 379 Racecourse Road ticks every box.
