Set within a secure Parkville complex arranged around a leafy central courtyard, this two-bedroom apartment offers an easy-to-live-in layout in a location that puts some of Melbourne’s best-known parkland, education and lifestyle precincts within easy reach.

A central hallway leads through to the living and dining room, where timber floors, natural light and generous proportions provide flexibility for dining, relaxed living and a workspace.

The kitchen offers extensive white cabinetry, stone benchtops, gas cooking and plenty of preparation and storage space. Set apart from the living area, it’s a welcome point of difference from the compact open-plan kitchens often found in inner-city apartments.

Two double bedrooms each include built-in robes, while the generously sized bathroom incorporates the laundry and features a large dual-basin vanity and separate shower. Panel heating, security entry, access to the residents’ gym, a storage room and two car spaces add further everyday convenience.

With Royal Park and its acres of open space just across The Avenue, this is a neighbourhood that makes it easy to step outside and leave the car behind. Melbourne University and the hospital precinct are close by, with Princes Park, Sydney Road and the cafes and restaurants of Carlton and Brunswick all within easy reach. Nearby trams provide a straightforward connection into the CBD and across inner Melbourne.
