Surrounded by Beryl Mann's meticulous landscaping and showing the expertise of Modernist architects Roy Grounds and John Mockridge among others, 'Hotham Gardens' plays host to this renovated lifestyle retreat, offering exceptionally solid, spacious, and sophisticated living on the city's fringe. With the broader complex a staple of the local landscape, the home itself is both instantly enjoyable and attractive as a yield investment. Leafy outlooks are displayed by windows on four sides, while all-day rays make daily life a joy in an open living/dining area. First-rate appliances feature in a Silestone, Bosch, and Westinghouse-equipped kitchen, while a north-side balcony proves a divine space for a morning coffee or evening drink among the trees. •Light-filled residence shrouded by trees and renovated with care for every detail •Two large bedrooms, excellent robe storage, and a combined bathroom/laundry •Open-plan living/dining area, gourmet kitchen, and quiet balcony all enjoying the northern sun •Blackbutt floors, heating/cooling, and a covered car space •Steps to transport, cafés, restaurants, bars, parks, hospitals, and Arden Station A spacious bathroom integrates a European laundry, while built-in robes enhance the two substantial bedrooms.

Quietly removed from the bustle while never far from the action, the home sits just steps to the bars, restaurants, cafés, and retail spanning Queensberry, Errol, Leveson, and Victoria Streets. Metres from Flemington Road's major hospitals, University High (zoned), the University of Melbourne, Royal Park's open expanses, nearly completed Arden Station, the local pool and leisure centre, and North Melbourne's heartland in Arden Street Oval.
