414a/640 Swanston Street

Privately placed on the fourth floor of the Milano building in Carlton's coveted Uropa complex, designed by prominent Melbourne architect Rob Stent, this smart two-bedroom apartment flaunts modern low-maintenance living at its best. Combining light-filled interiors, northerly CBD views and unbeatable convenience, metres from Melbourne University and the lively heart of Lygon Street, it presents a brilliant opportunity for professionals, investors or those seeking a comfortable base on the edge of the city. Well-maintained throughout, and surprisingly quiet, it welcomes with a spacious living and dining area set by a wall of windows, which reveals a large covered balcony overlooking Lincoln Square. The open plan layout includes an integrated kitchen with quality stainless steel appliances (Smeg oven, Bosch gas cooktop, dishwasher) and an island bench with a handy breakfast bar. Nearby are two generous bedrooms each with mirrored built-in robes (main has a study nook and its own balcony), plus a neat fully tiled central bathroom. This appealing property features a European laundry, ducted heating/cooling and two separate secure basement carparks. Framed by manicured gardens, the impeccably kept complex offers video intercom, lift access, a function room and barbeque facilities. It is also enviably located steps from city trams and easy walking distance to Queen Victoria Market, RMIT University, the new Parkville station, Carlton Gardens, major hospitals and Melbourne Central.
