DESCRIPTION:
Perfect for six, this luxury, corporate apartment in a boutique block of only twelve apartments, is brilliantly located in a modern city-edge precinct in Moonee Ponds on the edge of Essendon. It is only a stones throw to cafes, shops and restaurants in the nearby village near the Essendon train station.
Highlights include split-system heating and cooling, solid hardwood floors, plus video intercom, secure foyer and undercover parking spaces.
This is a large apartment; much bigger than many other three-bedroom apartments in Melbourne, and includes modern appliances and premium quality decor. Recently renovated and refurbished, efficient layouts allow for more living space whilst maintaining access to all modern appliances when required.
This spacious apartment includes a large, 30m2 balcony with 180 degree, commanding views towards the City itself, and to the east and west. The summer sunsets especially are just beautiful here. You can sit back and enjoy the expansive views and watch the sunsets reflecting off the towers in the city, or simply entertain family and friends in this large, private space.
Note from the owner:
We loved the location of this apartment, walking distance to Essendon Station, Queens Park and Moonee Ponds Central, along with many other shops and cafes in the area. We always stay here when visiting family in the Essendon and Moonee Ponds area, and its an easy trip into the city for the theatre or the football! The view from the large sized balcony is gorgeous and this size balcony is hard to find in many apartments. The open plan living room, secure parking and modern bathrooms are a plus.
We have multiple alternative apartments available, in inner Melbourne locations.
