40 Leonard Street

Parkville VIC 3052

Designed for peace and privacy and situated for convenience, this secluded, one-bedroom, first floor apartment has Princes and Royal parks at either end of a wide and quiet street.

Get around stress-free as the CBD is less than 3 kilometres away. Within easy walking distance of Melbourne's expansive "knowledge precinct" of the university, major teaching hospitals and research institutes. The vibrant hubs of Lygon Street and Sydney Road are just a stone's throw away.

This delightful oversized one-bedroom apartment in Parkville, is on the first floor of a tightly held block of just six apartments. First time on the market in 36 years. Snug, spacious and solid, this property is close to all the action while surrounded by parkland.

In a nutshell, this home is light-filled, private, and peaceful with a generous private balcony that looks out to the pleasant streetscape and green spaces. Well-built, double brick construction ensures both enhanced insulation and soundproof benefits. The mid-century, architect-designed space boasts practical built-in storage in every space. The sound construction of an established older style ensures a rate of capital return higher than new builds.

Transport is no issue, either. Trams stop at the end of the street for a short ride into the city. Currently, there is ready access to all freeway links and Tullamarine Airport with a new underground train station to the airport opening soon.

The apartment is spacious with high ceilings. It has a separate entry hall with built in storage, a generous lounge/dining area, and a separate eat-in kitchen with a friendly servery into the main room. It also has a bathroom with full size bath and washing machine space with plumbed fittings.

It offers a completely private over-size double bedroom with a built in robe with drawers. The upstairs location is secured with grills and a security door. Not just that, but the property features a ground floor brick storage room for bikes and sports gear.

Enjoy balcony views of parkland towards both the East and West as you relax with your morning coffee or sunset barbeque.

This property has an expected rental price of $390+ weekly. As you can see, this property is a gorgeous investment perfect for easy living in an exceptionally convenient, premium suburb.

View for yourself this opportunity to walk, ride and breath in restful ease less than 3 kilometres from the CBD.
