2/19 Ballater Street, Essendon, Vic 3040

With its quality enhancements and impeccable presentation from beginning to end, this ground-floor apartment (1 of only 6) is ideal for first-time buyers and blue-chip investors alike - all in a wonderfully quiet and convenient Essendon neighbourhood.

Ready to move straight in, or rent straight out, the spotless interior comprises two bedrooms (large master) both with built-in robes, as well as an updated two-way bathroom with separate shower and bathtub. Spacious and versatile, the open living/meals area is accompanied by a contemporary-style kitchen complete with tiled splashbacks and stainless-steel cooking appliances. Other highlights of this impressive apartment include split-system heating/cooling, additional panel heaters (bedrooms) and internal laundry facilities, plus the added appeal of an undercover parking space.

A short stroll to North Essendon Village shops and cafes, Mt Alexander Road trams and the open spaces of Lincoln Park, it's also close to the area's renowned schools, as well as easy access to Essendon Station.
