Surrounded by some of the city's best restaurants and bars, world-class coffee, the Queen Victoria Market and Melbourne Central, this fourth-floor two-bedroom Carlton apartment on the cusp of Melbourne’s CBD promises its soon-to-be residents a comfortable and exciting lifestyle.

Positioned on the corner of Swanston and Queensberry streets, the apartment’s thoughtful design makes the most of its cosy space and ensures moving in is effortless thanks to many built-in essentials.

A generous fridge and freezer are already installed alongside an oven, dishwasher and pull-out pantry in the kitchen, while the living room has a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf perfect for photos, knick-knacks and, of course, books.

The living area also opens onto an intimate balcony, bathing the communal space in natural light. Just high enough to appreciate the city skyline views, it’s a wonderful spot for enjoying a morning coffee, reading a book or simply people watching.

Relaxation is close at hand, too. Bookending the apartment, each bedroom features large built-in robes and ample privacy from the living space, while the bathroom features a luxe rain shower. Coupled with additional covetable features like secure access granted via fob at building entrance and elevator, European laundry, split-system heating and air conditioning, double-glazed windows and intercom system, you’re ensured optimal comfort.

And the position is top notch. Get your dose of nature in Argyle Square and Carlton Gardens before digging into cuisines of the world on Lygon Street, then spoil yourself with those flavours at home in the form of Victoria’s best fresh produce from the inimitable Queen Victoria Market. Staying active on your terms is easy with Melbourne City Baths just a leisurely walk from your apartment, as is the Melbourne Central shopping precinct, the RMIT Carlton and City campuses, the revamped State Library and myriad train, tram and bus lines.
