Description: A McKinnon Secondary College zone address alone is enough to stop buyers in their tracks. The fact that this apartment adds an exceptionally generous north-facing wraparound terrace takes it well beyond the usual. In a field of two-bedroom homes, this one offers far more than most. The hallway draws you through to the main living area where everything opens up. Living and dining sit side by side, and then the doors slide back to reveal what really sets it apart. The alfresco setting stretches wide, catching sunlight across the day and giving you options at every turn. A table setting at one end, loungers at the other, and still room to move. It connects directly to the living room, so you can drift in and out without a second thought. It's not an add-on, it's part of how the home works. The kitchen is finished with stone benchtops, electric cooking, dishwasher and a breakfast bar to pull up a couple of stools for casual meals. The two bedrooms sit privately to the side, both with built-in robes. The main bedroom has its own ensuite, while the central bathroom features a shower over the bath and integrated European laundry. The two bathrooms are a genuine drawcard for shared living. Double glazing enhances comfort and quiet, while split system heating and cooling in the living room and a panel heater in the main bedroom take care of seasonal needs. Not one but two secure car spaces and storage add day-to-day ease. Step outside and the lifestyle piece falls into place. Ormond Station is within walking distance, cafés are close enough to become part of your daily routine, and EE Gunn Reserve is perfect for recreation when you want it. Buses run through to Monash University, while nearby Bentleigh Village offers a steady mix of shops and dining. Ormond Primary School and Kilvington Grammar are down the road, and Chadstone is a quick drive when it's time for something bigger.
