1/700 Queensberry Street, North Melbourne.

Two secure car spaces in North Melbourne are reason enough to stop and take notice, but this freshly painted apartment has more going for it than just convenience. It sits in a low-rise block with character, the mix of red and blonde brickwork giving it a warm street presence. Natural light flows through the open living and dining area, connecting to a covered balcony wrapped in terracotta and brick. The shelter makes it usable well beyond summer, ideal for reading, relaxing or sharing a meal with friends. The kitchen is fitted with a stainless-steel oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher, all neatly arranged to make cooking and clean-up straightforward. The two bedrooms sit side-by-side, one with built-in robes, while the bathroom is separate from the laundry for practicality. A panel heater and video intercom are additional highlights. Errol Street is around the corner for a coffee, dinner or a quick bite on the way home. Queen Victoria Market is close enough to make fresh produce a habit, and Royal Park brings open space and walking tracks within easy reach. Trams and trains are nearby, and the new Arden Station will add even more convenience. Hospitals, Melbourne and RMIT universities sit close to the neighbourhood, while zoning for University High and North Melbourne Primary School keeps the location consistently in demand.
