Big & Bright Corner Living With Beautiful Views

SOLD by Miles Real Estate. The entire top-floor corner of a boutique low-rise block is the sole domain of this substantial apartment that exceeds expectations with its huge proportions, abundance of light and beautiful elevated vistas. One of only eight amidst the wonderful gardens of highly sought-after 'Ashby Close', this oversized solid brick apartment is open on three sides highlighting its impressive sense of space as it easily unfolds from a wide entrance hallway. Impeccably-presented in its original 1960s style, the comfortable single-level interior features two superb bedrooms with built-in robes including a main overlooking a magnificent magnolia tree and a light-filled second facing to the north. Central is a bright bathroom (shower, bathtub, laundry area) and separate toilet before a spacious kitchen with stainless-steel stove, classic cabinetry and fabulous views. The formal dining room offers flexibility as a possible home office or lounge room while there's also a large living room, panel heating, great storage and an east-facing balcony for alfresco enjoyment. On title is an undercover car parking space and the building features CCTV security. Absolutely unique with its extraordinary size and potential to add value with modern improvements, this outstanding apartment presents a rare low-upkeep opportunity in a quiet plane tree-lined grove close to Ivanhoe's excellent cafe and shopping strip, Eaglemont Village, train station, parks, schools and the Austin and Mercy Hospitals.
