Walking on sunshine every day. Get moving with this beaut.

Want a change of pace? An easier commute? A life that's a bit more relaxed and low key without compromising the convenience of urban living? Or maybe it's a clever property portfolio addition you seek? Here's a great 1 bedroom apartment that will get you started on your journey as an investor or homeowner. And it'll let you set your own pace when it comes to renovations. Totally liveable as it is, it's also got mountains of potential for changes and renovations. With lots of original features still kicking around in it would easily suit a retro makeover in the form of patterned wallpaper, a soft shag rug underfoot, a colourful kitchen refit, and some pretty pendant lights. It'd just as easily embrace modern minimalism via a muted palette, floating shelves with curated objets d'art, a shiny new bathroom redesign, or simply some soft, floaty curtains to catch the breeze. In fact, both the bedroom and living area are North facing so you get plenty of fresh air and sunshine to bliss out in. Make the most of it with your furniture layout, colour scheme, and art pieces. Update the timber accents and cabinets for a sleeker look, pop in a well-placed mirror or two to open up the space even more, or simply hang some sun catchers for a sprinkling of delightful rainbows on the walls. And let the pretty view of the Brigatti Gardens through the windows inspire you to green up your living space with potted plants. Your options are many, but the best thing about this apartment is the potential to take your own path when it comes to making it special. Follow your heart all the way to the finish line.

Location-wise, the walkability here is off the charts. Get out amongst it with a bit of a wander through Brigatti Gardens. The birdsong and lush green surrounds are a wonderful way to start your days. There's plenty more fresh air to be found at Hyde Park (1km) and the Swan River (1.2km), plus local sports clubs to join at Loton Park (400m) and Forrest Park (450m). Leg it to the train station (800m) in no time flat for your commute to work or grab a bus at one of the nearby stops. Beaufort Street with its enormous array of bars, cafes, and restaurants is only 650m from home, so take a walk on the wild side with a decadent dinner at Madeleine (700m), a round or two at Tom's Providore (900m), or brekkie of champions at Bagel O's (1.2km). Even Woollies is within strolling distance, making this totally unbeatable if you value the convenience and endless discoveries of the urban outdoors.
