Hovering on the third floor of the wonderfully unassuming Market Square, this unfurnished two-bedroom apartment has quietly perfected the art of being exactly where you want to be. On the northern edge of the CBD, you’re close enough to walk everywhere, yet far enough away that the city doesn’t sleep in your lounge room.
Push open the door and sunlight immediately volunteers itself as your newest housemate. The open-plan living and dining area is bright, spacious and effortlessly connected to a private balcony where leafy outlooks perform the impossible trick of making the CBD feel surprisingly calm.
The kitchen keeps a low profile, tucked neatly into its own alcove like it knows its talents speak for themselves. Stainless steel appliances, a fridge and microwave are all included, standing by for everything from ambitious dinner parties to cereal at 11:47pm.
Both bedrooms come equipped with built-in robes, because wardrobes deserve to carry some of life’s emotional baggage too. The central bathroom cleverly doubles as a laundry, complete with a washing machine, quietly eliminating one more thing from your moving list.
The comforts continue with reverse-cycle heating and cooling, secure intercom entry, a basement car space and a storage cage for bicycles, Christmas decorations or hobbies that lasted exactly three weekends.
Then things get even better.
Residents enjoy exclusive access to a fully equipped gym, perfect for chasing personal bests or simply convincing yourself you’ll start next Monday. There’s also a communal BBQ terrace where dinners, drinks and questionable cooking decisions are all equally welcome.
Step outside and Melbourne practically introduces itself. Flagstaff Gardens, Queen Victoria Market, Marvel Stadium, North Melbourne’s café scene, trams and two train stations are all within easy reach, making the car feel almost unnecessary.
This isn’t just another apartment.
It’s a peaceful little pocket of Melbourne where city convenience and leafy tranquillity accidentally became roommates.
All that’s missing is someone to unlock the front door.
