Artistic, stylish and oh-so-bold, this stunning one-bedroom apartment for two is a unique stay in the heart of bustling Collingwood; where rustic wooden floorboards and panel lighting complement matte black cabinetry and concrete ceilings. An expansive sectional sofa sits near a sleek, monochromatic coffee table and is a sublime spot to soak up the afternoon sun, catch a good movie on the wall-mounted, flat-screen TV or take a well-deserved nap. Step out of the floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors and onto your private balcony complete with a small outdoor table and chairs, as well as a bar-style dining counter where you can enjoy your meals, a morning coffee or an afternoon wine. Lining the wall alongside the living area is a contemporary, fully-equipped kitchen with a gas stove, oven, full-sized fridge, microwave, dishwasher and coffee maker, as well as all the necessary cooking utensils. A chic master bedroom features a plush queen bed dressed in hotel-quality linen, trendy bedside tables, a back feature wall and convenient built-in wardrobes; while a unique and contemporary bathroom is fit with patterned, black-and-white floor tiles, a corner shower, spacious vanity and matte black fittings. Additional luxuries include a laundry area with a washing machine and dryer, air conditioning and heating, and Wi-Fi.

Industrial living meets suburban comfort in one of the city's best suburbs. Home to overflowing cafes, famed restaurants and chic cocktails bars, Collingwood is arguably one of Melbourne’s most happening suburbs; and you’ll be just minutes away from Johnston Street and Smith Street—the heart of it all. For a meal to remember, head to Smith Street Alimentari—an Italian-inspired cafe and deli with delicious takeaway and dine-in dishes. Then join the locals for a pint at Stomping Ground Brewing Co.—a trendy beer hall with an endless list of brews. You’re also just 20 minutes’ walk to the CBD, 25 minutes’ walk to the MCG and Rod Laver Arena, and around 15 minutes’ walk to Abbotsford. If you’re not exploring by car, the apartment is conveniently located just four minutes’ walk to the tram stop and 13 minutes’ walk to Collingwood Train Station—which can connect you with the rest of the city with ease.
