Keeping cool in summer and warm in winter, ground floor accommodation comprises two robe lined bedrooms, a smart bathroom, and enclosed terrace, while a luxe, middle level bathroom serves a mezzanine master with walk in robe and sweeping outlooks. With an exposed copper feature wall enlivening a large living/study space, a broad dining zone and wraparound kitchen with Smeg/AEG appliances comfortably cater any number of social occasions, while other highlights include heating/cooling, Baltic pine floors, marble to bathrooms, and an oversized garage with integrated laundry. Its surrounds rich with design diversity and lifestyle vibrancy, effervescent Swan Street, Burnley Street, and Bridge Road, city bound trains and trams, acclaimed Melbourne Girls’ College (zoned), and Gleadell Street Market are all just metres away, while blissful Burnley Park reveals the picturesque trail skirting the Yarra.
