The Phone Code for this property is: 32682. Please quote this number when phoning or texting. This two-bedroom apartment is part of the award-winning Nightingale Preston building, designed for people who value thoughtful architecture, sustainability and community. With a rare NatHERS 9-star energy rating, it's comfortable all year round while using very little energy for heating and cooling. The open-plan living area is bright and welcoming, with warm cork flooring and large double-glazed doors opening onto a generous covered balcony. The balcony decking sits flush with the living room floor, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor space that feels surprisingly spacious. The kitchen is simple, practical and built to last, with a stainless steel benchtop, induction cooktop, integrated dishwasher and plenty of storage. Both bedrooms have their own Juliet balconies overlooking trees and gardens rather than roads, making them peaceful places to wake up or unwind. Hydronic heating provides quiet warmth in winter, while ceiling fans and excellent cross-ventilation keep the apartment comfortable through summer. Living at Nightingale means the apartment extends well beyond your own front door. Residents share a beautiful rooftop with a kitchen, veggie gardens, bathhouse and sweeping views, along with guest accommodation for visitors, secure bicycle parking, a communal laundry and landscaped gardens. The apartment is intentionally car-free, with train and tram services just a few minutes' walk away, Preston Market a short ride along the adjacent bike path, and several GoGet cars nearby when you need one. The property is currently tenanted until January 2027, with flexibility for earlier vacant possession by agreement.
