7/1023 Rathdowne Street

Step out into a lush, tropical-inspired oasis from the stylish interior spaces of this ground-floor apartment, that's superbly set within the evocative Victorian-era walls of the former Cable Tram Sheds. In a historic setting at the north end of Rathdowne Street opposite the Inner-City Rail Trail, this brilliant apartment is in a boutique block of only 12 and overlooks a beautiful communal garden. Air-conditioned for year-round heating and cooling comfort, this smart modern home has a perfectly functional floorplan, natural light, and an excellent presentation. It opens with an impressive living and dining room capturing leafy views, before a high-quality gourmet kitchen featuring European stainless-steel appliances, a drawer dishwasher, an integrated fridge/freezer, and space for an in-cupboard washing machine. An immaculate fully-tiled bathroom, with its frameless-glass shower and modern vanity unit, is centrally situated for complete convenience, and 2 bedrooms each incorporate built-in robes (the main also contains a ceiling fan). Also included is an off-street parking space. This absolutely delightful apartment is a serene ground-level sanctuary in sought-after 'Rathdowne Gardens'. It offers enormous lifestyle appeal suited to a range of buyers seeking an extraordinary low-maintenance option in a tightly-held heritage setting. The location is amazing with a bus stop at the door, and a short stroll to Princes Park, Rathdowne and Fitzroy North Villages, Lygon Street cafes and restaurants, Barkley Square shopping, Lygon St and Nicholson St trams, and schools (including Princes Hill Secondary College).
