4/12 Leonard Cres, Ascot Vale VIC 3032, Australia

Walking distance to some of Melbourne’s most iconic attractions – Flemington Racecourse, Royal Showgrounds and the magnificent Maribyrnong River. This ground-floor apartment presents an exceptional lifestyle or investment opportunity. Boasting its own private entrance, the home’s impressive interior comprises two bedrooms both with mirrored robes, as well as a stylish ensuite and an equally-attractive main bathroom – both with stone-top vanities. Filled with natural light, the open-plan living/meals area is accompanied by a stone-bench kitchen complete with soft-close drawers, tiled splashbacks, Blanco cooking appliances and dishwasher. Other stand-out features include split-system heating and cooling (living area and both bedrooms), alarm system, video intercom, square-set ceilings with LED downlights and Euro laundry with trough. Rounding out this terrific low-maintenance package is a sizeable north-facing courtyard (from the living area) with entertaining deck and additional courtyard (from the master bedroom), plus a secure off-street parking space accessed via the rear ROW. Enviable inner-urban ease, it’s also close to buses and trams, local schools and Victoria University, as well as easy access to the vibrant retail precincts of Union Road, Highpoint and Showgrounds Village.
