4/161 Albert Street, Reservoir VIC 3073

You want it low maintenance but you want a lifestyle. And you don't need huge but you want it to feel like a home. Well, the good news is this trendy two-bedroom, single-level unit ticks all the boxes in a sought-after pocket of Reservoir, backing up to the meandering Darebin Creek and its picturesque green surrounds providing an environmentally gorgeous boundary with Heidelberg.

Looking as though the builder only left last week, this pristine (maintenance not required) unit excels with its stunning timber floorboards in the modern living area, smart and spacious separate kitchen/meals area with stainless steel appliances, two large bedrooms with built-in robes, stylish central bathroom, separate laundry and genuine separate study for those still working from home.

No question, this is a home with the lot inside. Step outside the back door and enjoy the alfresco dining area that acts as the perfect space to enjoy a lazy Sunday brunch or overflow area for those occasions when entertaining meets expandable space as required.

There is nothing missing at this address - except you. And that applies to first-home buyers, downsizers looking for a dream retirement and investors with an eye to yields and the future.

Thrown in for free is easy access to public transport, the delights of Northland Shopping Centre's 300-plus shops and gourmet eateries, excellent schools and parks.
