2/17 Fortuna Avenue, Croydon, Vic 3136

It would be easy to walk straight past this much-renovated single level unit, the second of three on the block, thanks to the lush gardens out the front. That privacy is something of a teaser for the enormous appeal to be discovered inside.

Dark, deep carpets, luscious floating floors and fresh paint combine to give that look and feel of a residence that's close to new. All that newness works perfectly in tandem with the very sensible and practical layout to make this residence extremely satisfying. Without doubt, the highlight is the stunning kitchen with gloss cabinets and stainless steel appliances. There's also a large and light filled formal lounge and dining room, two bedrooms, one with ensuite, and family bathroom. Keeping the climate manageable all year round is two split system air conditioners.

Outside also adds a lovely rear patio surrounded by landscaped gardens and single carport with gate offering backyard access - ideal for trailer storage. Convenience is a key factor, with the location putting the unit within an easy walk to the centre of Croydon.
