3/71 Tranmere Avenue, Carnegie, Vic 3163

This stylishly refurbished ground-floor apartment has a number of bonuses to delight its purchaser. For starters there is the location - it is tranquil, leafy and in strolling distance to parks, recreation, Koornang Road shops, cafes and council facilities, plus schools and public transport. And there is the lifestyle - relaxing, and low maintenance. Still this apartment keeps on giving - yet another bonus is a captivating private courtyard (great for alfresco entertaining) that can be accessed via bi-fold doors from either the sun-soaked living room (split-system A/C), or directly from 1 of the 2 queen-size bedrooms (BIRs), or via its own gate from the street. Along with a tasteful decor, plush carpet, fresh paintwork, double blinds throughout, and up-to-date amenities, the apartment also has the fully modernised kitchen with stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop, and built-in bench seating (storage inside) with space for a table. There is a central bathroom/laundry with separate toilet. The wraparound courtyard includes a lawn locker. Accessed from McLaurin Road, the apartment is in a well maintained block and has intercom entry and an undercover car space.
