1/197 Waverley Road, Malvern East VIC 3145

Embraced by a dynamic and cosmopolitan lifestyle, this wonderfully generous two bedroom, two bathroom apartment is a sparkling hideaway only moments from mouth-watering eateries and Monash University.

An alfresco lover's dream, the open-plan living and dining room spills out via double sliding doors to a deep under-cover balcony overlooking the bustle of village life and the city-bound tram. Glass splashbacks, stone surfaces and Smeg stainless steel appliances perfectly dress the gourmet kitchen.

Impressively designed with a sizeable study area and outstanding built-in storage, there is a quiet rear terrace off both the bedrooms and a walk-in robe and fully-tiled ensuite off the master bedroom.

Completing this exciting picture is a euro laundry, panel heating, two split system air-conditioners, double glazing and two secure car spaces.

In a boutique block of just nine, this thrilling first home, investment or downsizer is close to primary schools, private schools, the train station, Caulfield Racecourse and Chadstone - The Fashion Capital.
