1102/188 Macaulay Road, North Melbourne

For Sale via Expressions of Interest. High above the streets of North Melbourne, this luxurious apartment in the Arden Gardens complex draws your eye straight to the horizon. A wall of windows frames a sweep of treetops, rooftops and skyline, with the city rising in the distance and the sky stretching wide above it. Timber floors run through the living areas, where the full-height glazing keeps the outlook front and centre. A sliding door connects to a covered balcony, giving you a place to step out, take it in and let the air move through. The kitchen is finished in crisp white with a marble-look splashback, underbench oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher, while the extended breakfast bar doubles as a casual meals spot or a work-from-home station. Set quietly to the side, the bedroom includes built-in robes and sits next to a sleek marble-style bathroom with mirrored storage and a walk-in shower. A European laundry, split-system heating and cooling, and a secure car space round out the essentials. Arden Gardens is a building that goes way beyond the basics. Residents have access to a communal garden with city views, private cinema, gym and an entertaining lounge, function space and games room. At ground level, Woolworths, cafés and local shops at your doorstep - literally. Step outside and Macaulay Station and trams are a short walk, Clayton Reserve and the Arden Gardens retail precinct are directly opposite, and Arden Street Oval and North Melbourne Recreation Centre are a ball's kick away. Zoned for North Melbourne Primary and University High, with Errol Street's cafés, Royal Park, major hospitals and CityLink all close at hand.
