Description: Positioned quietly in the heart of the development, set well back from the street, this residence offers an exceptional sense of privacy and calm that's rarely found in inner-north apartment living. Designed with space, light and lifestyle in mind, this oversized one-bedroom home delivers proportions approximately 20% larger than most comparable residences which is immediately evident the moment you step inside. The expansive open plan living and dining domain is wrapped in an abundance of windows, inviting crossflow ventilation and allowing natural light to flood the interiors throughout the day. A prized north/west facing orientation ensures the home is beautifully illuminated, with sunlight streaming across the living spaces and out to the large balcony, a true extension of the home. Generous in scale and perfectly positioned, the balcony provides the ideal setting for entertaining, unwinding after work, or simply enjoying the afternoon sun. At the heart of the home, the kitchen sets a new benchmark for one-bedroom residence. Rarely found in this category, a substantial island bench anchors the space, offering exceptional preparation area, casual dining and a natural gathering point for guests. Finished with sleek stone surfaces, quality appliances and excellent storage, it's a kitchen designed for those who genuinely enjoy cooking and entertaining. The bedroom is impressively proportioned and filled with natural light, complemented by a large built-in robe. The bathroom evokes a refined, hotel-style aesthetic with quality finishes and clean, contemporary lines, creating a calming space to begin and end each day. Sustainability has also been thoughtfully incorporated into the building, with the Owners Corporation investing in a large solar panel installation across the rooftop. This initiative significantly reduces the building's shared electricity costs, helping keep Owners Corporation fees lower while also promoting environmentally responsible living. It's a forward-thinking addition that benefits residents both financially and environmentally, reinforcing the development's commitment to greener, more sustainable apartment living. Beyond the apartment itself, the lifestyle offering is exceptional. A café sits quite literally at your doorstep, perfect for your morning coffee before a walk or run along the nearby Yarra River. Parks and gardens await at the end of the street, while Clifton Hill Train Station, servicing multiple lines, places you just 15 minutes from the CBD. For residents, this location offers the ultimate balance, quick city access, vibrant café culture, green open space and a strong sense of community, all within one of Melbourne's most tightly held neighbourhoods. This is more than just a one-bedroom residence; it's a spacious, light-filled sanctuary in a blue-chip inner-north setting. Sahil Bhasin 0403 630 215
