5/26 The Avenue, St Kilda East, Vic 3183

Definitely worth taking a look at, this refurbished apartment, set at the rear of a small solidly built block of ten, is accompanied by the rarely found advantage of a good-size courtyard. It also has a great floor plan that's been opened to give it a more contemporary feel. Additional highlights are the excellent workspace, storage and breakfast bar in the kitchen, built-in mirrored robes in the bedroom and the desirability of a separate bathroom, wall to wall carpeting in the lounge and bedroom, European laundry and secure intercom entry. The car space, which is close to the front door, can also be reached from the courtyard. The location is all about convenience with trams, buses, Balaclava Station and the shops, restaurants and latte lifestyle in famous Carlisle Street a few minutes' walk away.
