About this property
Urban Rendezvous Where Productivity Meets Play
Discover a contemporary retreat in the heart of one of Melbourne’s most eccentric suburbs. With Lygon Street on your doorstep, you'll be within a five-minute stroll of the area's trendy bars, cafes and restaurants. When you’re not sampling the local dining scene, relax at home in air-conditioned open living extending to a private balcony where you can sip your morning coffee over elevated city views. Parking, multiple workspaces and a washing machine make this apartment ideal for longer stays. This recently built stay features an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that is thoughtfully appointed to offer a stylish and convenient base while you work or explore the sights. The modern, streamlined kitchen has all you need to cook when you’re not eating out, plus a dishwasher for easy clean-up and a cosy two-seater table to share meals.
Floor-to-ceiling glass doors in the living area maximise natural light and views overlooking Lygon Street, opening to a spacious balcony that is comfortably furnished for casual alfresco dining or a relaxed afternoon glass of wine. End the day by kicking back on the sofa and chaise with a movie, making use of split system air-conditioning and heating, as well as ceiling fans for year-round comfort.
The first bedroom includes a queen-sized bed, air-conditioning and a built-in robe, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows with black-out blinds to encourage a sleep-in. The second living room is a versatile space, doubling as an office—with a well-supplied sit-stand desk featuring a monitor, laptop stand and ergonomic chair. The sleek and contemporary bathroom is appointed with a large shower, vanity, and mirror, as well as complimentary toiletries.

During your stay, you and your group will have the entire apartment to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
The restaurants, ice-cream shops, boutiques and bars of renowned food destination Lygon Street, known fondly as Melbourne’s ‘Little Italy’, start just a few minutes’ walk from your stay and extend down to Carlton. The popular foodie destination Wild Life Bakery is a three-minute stroll, where you can stock up on delicious bread and pastries, while East Brunswick Hotel is right across the road. The scenic pathways along Merri Creek, as well as CERES Environment Park’s nursery, cafe and organic grocery store, are a five-minute drive, or make use of nearby tram stops to discover all the attractions of the Melbourne CBD.
