East-Facing Elegance: Nightingale Living with a View
Welcome to Nightingale Umarku Wayi. 208/170 Sydney Road, Coburg, where sustainable design meets serious style. Perched above Sydney Road with an east-facing outlook over Brunswick and clear sightlines to Mount Dandenong, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment blends industrial character with smart, forward-thinking design – the kind of home that just feels right. Step inside to exposed concrete, exposed piping and engineered hardwood floors, all hallmarks of that signature Nightingale look. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is bright and easy, spilling out onto a balcony large enough for a dining setting – ideal for catching the morning sun with a coffee or watching the sky change colour over the ranges in the evening. The kitchen brings function and finish together, with stainless steel benchtops, an electric oven and cooktop, and generous cabinetry and open shelving for your cookbooks and favourite things. Split system air conditioning and a ceiling fan keep things comfortable year-round, plus there's a neat study nook for remote work or hobby projects. Both bedrooms are light-filled and calm, each with built-in robes, ceiling fans and pendant lighting for a restful, considered feel. The bathroom is a real highlight – terrazzo tiles floor to ceiling for a spa-like atmosphere, a walk-in shower, mirrored vanity, open shelving, and porcelain and brass fittings that add a touch of polish. There's substance behind the style too. The building is entirely fossil fuel-free, with a minimum 7.6-star NatHERS rating per apartment and a 21.3kWp solar array feeding an embedded electricity network on 100% GreenPower. High-efficiency heating and cooling, an energy-efficient heat pump for hot water, and carbon-neutral certified appliances round out the sustainable credentials, alongside low embodied energy materials and rainwater harvesting for landscaping and commercial toilets. A commercial-grade embedded internet network means fast connectivity comes standard. Up on the rooftop, residents enjoy veggie patches, communal laundry facilities and an electric BBQ – a great spot for neighbourly chats, family get-togethers or a relaxed evening cook-up. Secure bike storage supports car-free living, with easy access to public transport and car-share, and no allocated car space to worry about. You're perfectly placed to enjoy Coburg and Brunswick's best, with Sydney Road's cafes, bars and restaurants on your doorstep, plus easy access to Merri Creek trails, Coburg Lake Reserve and a string of leafy parks nearby for weekend walks and picnics. This is apartment living done with purpose – where industrial design, sustainability and community come together under one striking, exposed-concrete roof.
