9/42 The Parade, Ascot Vale, Vic 3032

Set at the rear and one of only nine in the building, this top-floor apartment is a must-see for first-time buyers and astute investors alike with its quality enhancements, delightful outlook and prime position in Ascot Vale’s Rothwell Hill precinct.

Ready to simply move straight in – or rent straight out – the home’s light-filled interior comprises two double bedrooms with built-in robes both complemented by a stylish central bathroom with frameless shower and separate WC.

Add to this a central living/meals area with leafy easterly outlook serviced by a contemporary-style kitchen complete with stone benches, Bosch ceramic cooktop and ample cupboard space.

Other stand-outs include double blinds, internal laundry facilities and split-system heating/cooling for year-round comfort, plus a secure foyer with intercom and undercover parking space on title.

Union Road trams, shops, cafes and restaurants around the corner, it’s also walking distance to Rothwell Park and Ascot Vale Station, as well as easy access to local schools, kinder/childcare facilities and the area’s major retail precincts.
