1/26 Hopetoun Avenue, Brunswick West, Vic 3055

With its generous dimensions, quality features and dual outdoor spaces to enjoy, this double-storey townhouse (1 of only 8) delivers an impressive low-maintenance lifestyle - all in a quiet and convenient location adjacent to the open spaces of Fraser Reserve.

Nothing to do but move in and start living, the luminous interior showcases two bedrooms (large master with full-width robes) both serviced by a fully-tiled central bathroom. Adding to the appeal is an open-plan living/meals area adjoined by contemporary stone-bench kitchen complete with stainless-steel cooking appliances and dishwasher. Other stand-outs include gas heating and split-system air conditioning (x2), along with high ceilings, European laundry and under-stair storage. Complementing the light-filled interior is a front balcony with elevated outlook and private north-facing courtyard with entertaining deck and irrigated garden beds, plus off-street parking space.

Walking distance to two tram lines and a choice of bus routes, it's also close to local cafes, IGA Xpress and endless trails along Moonee Ponds Creek, as well as easy access to schools (Strathmore SC zone) and Citylink.
