Behind the secure entry of "The Hawksburn", this urban pied-a-terre is a fine example of restrained sophistication fused with everyday utility. With natural light through every room, striking finishes and an extremely walkable location, this residence yields effortless living.

Welcomed by wide oak wood floors that feel solid underfoot, the home comprises an open plan living and dining zone that flows onto a covered balcony. Overlooked by a generous kitchen with an island bench and a full suite of Miele appliances (gas cooking and dishwasher) all clad in easy-care glass and stone. Two robed bedrooms with natural light are served by a seductive hotel-style bathroom with a walk in shower and a wall of mermaid tiles highlighted by soft integrated lighting. Also features a discreet Euro laundry, ducted air conditioning and physical car spot for one with adjoining storage cage in a low rise block with a tranquil relaxation garden to spill onto.

On the fringe of the bustling Hawksburn village, it's just a few steps to a wide range of eateries, groceries, tram options and train or a little further to Prahran Market and Chapel Street Precinct. Also close to the Alfred, Princes Gardens, Victoria Gardens and Orrong Park & dog park.
