A thorough designer renovation has transformed this first floor boutique apartment into a stylish low-maintenance home. Set to the peaceful rear of a well-presented block, it’s tucked away in a leafy pocket moments to Marrickville’s shopping village. A great first purchase with nothing further to spend, it’s ideal for those seeking to take advantage of the first homebuyer grant.

Set on the north-east corner of the block, its bright and airy interiors are finished with polished timber floors throughout and open out to two balconies. The living/dining area leads to a north facing balcony and incorporates a stylish contemporary kitchen with breakfast bar, mosaic tile splashbacks and an adjoining laundry.

Both bedrooms are fitted with built-in robes, the main opening to a balcony, and are serviced by a marble-tiled bathroom with bath and separate shower. Additional features include tandem undercover parking and FoxTel.
