207/12 Illowa Street

From morning coffee to the train platform in moments, this beautifully appointed one-bedroom security apartment within the boutique low-rise Illowa captures everything buyers want and need in the Darling Village precinct. A brilliant first step into the coveted East Malvern market, a secure lock-and-leave option for downsizers and a smart addition to any investment portfolio, it provides exceptional contemporary ease and amenity, carrying broad appeal in a location buyers already know and love. Bathed in natural light, the expansive open-plan living and dining domain opens through oversized sliding doors to an enormous sun-drenched balcony terrace, creating an impressive extension of the interior and making the most of its private rear position. Premium Smeg appliances, a Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer, and generous storage enhance the sleek stone kitchen, while the spacious bedroom opens directly onto the terrace and features a full wall of built-in robes, along with a stylish dual-access bathroom and a European laundry. Additional features include double glazing, split-system heating and cooling, video intercom, secure fob entry, lift access and secure basement parking for one, all within an unbeatable location, surrounded by popular cafés, parks and restaurants, with the Gardiners Creek Trail just beyond the door and Hedgeley Dene Gardens, Chadstone Shopping Centre, and Monash Freeway access all just moments away.
