2/10 Rathdowne Street, Brunswick East, Vic 3057

Designed and built to an impressive standard as the home of the builder of this boutique development of four, 2/10 Rathdowne Street is just across the bike-path reserve from North Carlton, close to Rathdowne and Nicholson Villages and public transport. Secure entry is from a landscaped courtyard, opening to an expansive high-ceilinged living and dining room, floored in gleaming parquetry, overlooked by the kitchen, superbly fitted with timber cabinets, granite benchtops and Smeg appliances. Flowing from the entertaining area is a large private north-facing courtyard, edged by a row of mature pencil pine trees. A timber staircase leads to two double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and CBD views, a marble-tiled bathroom and a separate European laundry. At the loft level is a large sunny third bedroom/study with storage space.

This light-filled property, including a remote entry garage with additional storage space, is finished to an exemplary standard, and fitted with reverse-cycle airconditioning, ceiling fans and panel heating. Here is the best of city-fringe living!
