Larger than most and sunnier than you’d expect, this is the apartment that surprises you the moment you step in. Positioned on the corner of a boutique red-brick complex of just 10, it sits on the top floor with an elevated northern aspect and a leafy outlook that lifts every room.

The heart of the home is a light-filled open-plan living and dining zone, comfortably proportioned for a full lounge setting and a dining table without feeling crowded. Floor to ceiling windows draw in the northern light and open directly onto a private undercover balcony the kind of spot that works year-round, whether for morning coffee or winding down at the end of the day. A split system to the living area keeps this main zone comfortable through every season.

The kitchen is crisp and functional, finished in white gloss cabinetry with a tiled splashback, gas cooktop and stainless oven. A window above the sink frames a treetop outlook and keeps the space bright while you cook, and there’s genuine bench and storage space to work with.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned and carpeted, each with built-in robes and large windows that pull in plenty of natural light, while the second is equally comfortable and easily set up as a guest room, nursery or home office.

The bathroom is clean, white and well-presented, with both a bath and a separate glass-screened shower, a tidy vanity and a frosted window for natural light. A linen closet off the entrance hall adds practical, everyday storage and rounds out the floorplan neatly.

Adding to the appeal is the building itself a well-kept block with a smart, updated communal foyer featuring a terrazzo staircase, and off-street car park included. The location does the rest, with Napier Street shops, Essendon Station and the tram all within easy reach, along with parks, cafés and everything that makes this such a sought-after pocket.
