3/49 Austral Avenue

Tucked away on a quiet street at the rear of a tree-softened and well-maintained block, this ground floor unit offers a calm, private start away from passing traffic, while still placing Preston's shops and transport within easy reach. North-facing light floods both the living area and bedroom, giving the home a naturally warm, inviting feel that suits first home buyers, investors and professionals after a low-maintenance foothold in a well-connected pocket of the inner north. Inside, picture slow mornings with sunlight pouring through the living room windows, a quick coffee at the open living and meals area finished with timber-toned flooring and warmed by a wall-mounted heater, creating a comfortable everyday space that flows into a functional kitchen. In there, an electric stovetop and Euro oven sit beneath a white tile splashback, with a white vinyl benchtop providing a practical, easy-clean surface for everyday cooking. The generous bedroom captures the same north-facing light and is fitted with a large mirrored built-in robe, offering practical storage that's often hard to find in apartments of this scale. It's serviced by a private ensuite featuring a large shower and floor-to-ceiling tiles, wrapping the space in a clean, low-maintenance finish. A dedicated carspace at the rear of the block adds valuable everyday convenience, while the property's position on a quiet suburban street offers a peaceful setting away from passing traffic. Location-wise, this apartment is well placed for everyday life, with Bell Street and the High Street shopping strip nearby, including Preston Market's fresh food traders and the Woolworths and Aldi supermarkets close by within a short drive. A comfortable walk to Bell Primary School on Oakover Road serves the area for families, while Preston and Bell railway stations on the Mernda line, along with the route 86 tram, offer multiple options for commuting into the CBD.
