7/5-9 Grice Crescent, Essendon, Vic 3040

In a boutique block (1 of only 10) surrounded by lush gardens, this ground-floor apartment certainly sets itself apart with its impressive dimensions (approx 80 sqm), quality enhancements and profusion of natural light throughout.

Nothing to do but move in and start living, the impeccable interior comprises two generous bedrooms (large master) with built-in robes both serviced by a contemporary-style central bathroom and separate WC. Spacious and versatile with a leafy garden outlook, the open living/dining area is further enhanced by a well-appointed kitchen complete with tiled splashbacks, dishwasher and ceramic cooktop.

Other stand-out features include split-system heating/cooling, remote-control ceiling fans (bedrooms) and internal laundry, plus a north-facing balcony (from the living area), secure foyer with intercom and undercover parking space at the rear.

Mt Alexander Road trams around the corner and walking distance to Rose Street cafes, Essendon Station and Windy Hill Fitness Centre, it’s also close to local parks, popular schools and kinder/childcare facilities, as well as easy access to Citylink.
