OBVIOUS

A sensational space that refuses to compromise on both personality and aesthetics, this is high-quality living blended with low-maintenance design.

You’re buying into the private, rear corner advantage of this boutique development of only 20 homes, with three bedrooms and just as many car parks for visiting guests. First impressions are made with the beautifully executed finishes throughout, with oak timber floors, high ceilings, and sommelier-style wine storage.

Thanks to its position, the open living room showcases the north-eastern sunlight and directs fresh air from the paved outdoor courtyard through to the dining. Blending the inside and outside, the balcony is equipped with an electric awning for entertaining regardless of the Melbourne weather. A chef's kitchen boasts a solid stone island bench, a large trough sink, a full suite of Miele appliances.

The master suite includes a vast built-in robe, custom wallpaper and curtains, with access to the outdoor courtyard illuminating the space. The double-vanity ensuite also includes floor-to-ceiling tiles and a rainfall shower. The two additional bedrooms have plush carpets, built-in robes, and access to the modern central bathroom with heated towel rails.

Going against the apartment grain with a fully-fitted European laundry, storage has also been amplified throughout the home with soft close drawers and an extra storage cage in the garage — accessible through elevator access.

A home synonymous with a sanctuary; plantation shutters and electric external blinds elevate the controllable comfort, while the zoned and ducted air-conditioning, double-glazed windows, and video intercom entry build on top of an already secure and modern foundation.

Take your pick from your neighbourhood’s parks, with Gardiner’s Creek trail and Glen Iris park just around the corner. Elite schools like Caulfield Grammar and Sacre Coeur are within your zone, and so are the Burke Road high street and Ashburton village, providing plenty of transport options like a tram or train, and Monash freeway access. Take home your poached eggs from Our Kitchen Table, a ten-minute walk away, and make Tom Pockett Cellars your local for a Sunday vino.

SEALS THE DEAL

If we learned one thing from the past two years, it’s that maintenance is overrated — and homes of this calibre capture a wider range of lifestyles. It makes this perfect for future reselling, and imperative to get your foot in the door now.
