Elevated Living in a Cultural Epicentre Poised high within the 'YOU & I' building, a contemporary address of quiet confidence, this refined apartment by Orbit Architecture presents an assured expression of inner urban living. Designed with a keen sense of proportion and liveability, the Carr Design Group interior unfolds into an open plan living and dining area, where natural, north light settles gently across clean lines and a restrained palette. Beyond the apartment, the neighbourhood reveals itself as one of Collingwood's most culturally expressive pockets. A short stroll leads to the celebrated retail and dining stretch of Smith Street, where independent boutiques, acclaimed eateries, and late-night venues shape a lifestyle rich in character. - The luminous living and dining area is awash with natural light through full-height glazing, before extending to a north-facing, covered balcony that offers a calm retreat above the rhythm of Smith Street. - The streamlined, timber-tone kitchen is beautifully appointed with stone surfaces and premium Miele appliances, including an integrated dishwasher and generous storage, delivering everyday functionality. - Two bedrooms are thoughtfully zoned. The primary bedroom features a stylish ensuite, dedicated study nook, and built-in robes, while the second bedroom continues this sense of practicality with built-in robes and easy access to the chic, fully tiled main bathroom. - Additional inclusions comprise split-system heating and cooling to the living area and main bedroom, a concealed European laundry, secure intercom entry, a valuable car space, and a convenient storage cage. Residents also enjoy access to a generous communal courtyard designed for relaxed outdoor gatherings. - Positioned in a prized setting on the doorstep of Smith Street, the location is rich with acclaimed eateries, bars, and boutique shopping, while nearby tram services provide swift access to the CBD. - Within easy walking distance of Johnston Street and Brunswick Street, the address is also close to local Fitzroy markets and an array of surrounding gardens.
