One of only a handful in its boutique block where maintenance is meticulous and community is forefront, this turnkey gem proves as attractive an investment as a first home or professional's retreat, directly opposite the green expanses of Windy Hill.

Staged by a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac and electric-gated security entrance, the home is a true standout in every respect. Sun streams in from the north to cover a wide-open living/dining domain, stepping out to a balcony great for an evening drink taking in greenery and sunset colours. Modern Smeg and Fisher & Paykel appliances mean a separate kitchen takes entertaining in its stride, while views of the oval, a built-in robe and ensuite/laundry all enhance a sizeable bedroom. Hardwood floors, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, intercom entry, and a secure car space all add to the appeal, while a prestige position places the best of Essendon within footsteps.

Essendon Primary and PEGS Junior Boys, Essendon and Glenbervie Stations, the 59 Tram and cafés, restaurants, bars and boutiques across Napier, Fletcher and Rose Streets are all just metres away, while North Essendon Village, vibrant Puckle Street, tranquil Queens Park, St Monica's Primary and zoned Strathmore Secondary College sit nearby.
