5/16 Lawes Street, Hawthorn, Vic 3122

The day greets you with the sun streaming in over the treetops. Step out to breakfast on the balcony while you consider your day, amid peaceful surroundings. All within walking distance, it could be a walk or a picnic with friends by the river, closing with a movie at Victoria Gardens or dinner at The Beehive Hotel. With festivals, events and all that Melbourne has to offer, you can choose to hop on the 48 or the 109 trams, both only minutes away. 

One of only six in the boutique 'Fairmont Park' complex, this mid-century, two-bedroom apartment combines a thoughtful blend of modern style with character detail.  The rooms are spacious with a flexible floorplan and a natural flow from the moment you step in. Put your feet up in the comfortable living room that embraces you with soft sheers, pale timber floors and a neutral palette. Take in the views that extend to the beautiful Memorial Chapel at Xavier College, a Kew landmark lit up at night. 

The retro kitchen's personality shines, along with generous storage, ensuring time spent in the kitchen, is a pleasure. The adjacent meals area offers an inviting space to dine with views across the living room, through to the leafy outlook.  The main bedroom is spacious with wall-to-wall built-in robes and a dressing table, making wardrobe organisation and selecting your clothes and accessories for the day, a breeze. 
 
The bathroom features a separate shower, full-size bath so you can relax in it with a book, and laundry facilities. Additional highlights include reverse cycle heating and cooling, generous internal storage, external blockout blinds throughout, remote controlled fan and lights in the main bedroom, a private balcony, and an allocated car space. This is a perfect opportunity for first-home buyers or those seeking a stylish retreat close to the best of Melbourne's inner east.
