Featuring Reverse Cycle Air conditioning as well as discreet wall heaters, this 2 bedroom unit maintains a pleasant temperature all year around.
The layout gives a sense of the bedrooms and living areas being separate spaces more like a house than a unit, and the many windows allow air flow from one side to the other - a rare treat for apartment-dwellers used to stuffy rectangular boxes.
The bathroom, renovated only last Spring, features a 12-bar heated towel rail, new Rheem hot water system, vanity with hard-wearing Cherry Pie surface and soft-close drawers, and Astrawalker designer tapware with ceramic disk.
The spacious kitchen has an Asco European dishwasher - still under warranty. The floating floor is in excellent condition, and there is new paint throughout.
The apartment has a green outlook in both directions: from the private balcony on one side to the French windows on the other - which provide a view of Kensington at its prettiest.
The unit is walking distance to four different train stations, the 57 tram, and a large supermarket. That's not to mention the Maribyrnong river cycle paths, the funky cafes of Macaulay Rd and Bellair St and the many restaurants of Racecourse Rd. A couple of minutes up Epsom Rd is the giant Ascot Vale YMCA with pool and gymnasium - one of the best fitness centres in Melbourne.
Apartment comes with one secure underground car park.
