1/21 Waratah Street, West Footscray VIC 3012

The claim to be the best in the block is often made, but rarely is the statement so well supported as it is by this outstanding townhouse. Its own entirely individual street frontage sets the standard for bright, inviting spaces that enjoy leafy outlooks over surroundings that include parkland reserves and bike paths close to bus routes and Kingsville Primary School. Living and dining areas that make the most of the views are complemented by a low-maintenance courtyard and a kitchen where northern light, stone benches and stainless steel appliances form a user friendly combination. Two upstairs bedrooms and two bathrooms, including the main bedroom's ensuite reached by walk-in robes, are designed around a spacious central study zone. Ducted heating. Internally accessed garage. No doubt the best.
