Hidden away as the rear abode of its boutique block, this one-of-four prize employs impressive space, all-day sunlight, and a cultured palette to offer turnkey living in Essendon’s leafy heart.

Warm and welcoming with its timber, apricot, and muted-green tones, a flowing ground floor sees lounge and dining zones flank a gourmet kitchen where stone benches, soft-close storage, and a Bosch dishwasher, induction cooktop, and oven comfortably cater for any occasion. Swathes of terrazzo, a messmate vanity, heated towel rack, and integrated laundry all enhance a chic upstairs bathroom, serving a large guest room and magnificent master with extensive robe space and its own scenic balcony. With nothing to be done but move in, lay roots, and enjoy long into the future, further highlights include 5kW solar energy, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, double glaze windows (downstairs), ceiling fans, hardwood floors, sheer curtains, messmate shelving, warm brushed-nickel tapware, substantial attic storage, a carport space with direct access from the courtyard, and backyard brilliant for blue-sky hospitality.

Placed perfectly for indulging in the best of Essendon, it’s mere steps to Lincoln Park’s playground, picnic areas, and farmers’ markets, North Essendon Village shops, cafés, and restaurants, and the 59 tram for easy city access, while near Keilor Road, Buckley Street, and Rose Street lifestyle hubs, acclaimed schools, Essendon Station, freeways, and the Maribyrnong River.
