507/77 Nicholson Street, Brunswick East.

Expressions of Interest - Closing Tuesday, 22nd of December at 6pm (unless sold prior) Positioned within the acclaimed Balfe Park Lane development by Kerstin Thompson Architects, this spacious two-bedroom, dual aspect, residence combines premium finishes, generous proportions and a strong connection to the outdoors in a building recognised with the 2022 Best Overend Award for Residential Architecture in the Multiple Housing category. Balfe Park Lane was created with space, sustainability and community in mind. There is something special about living high above Balfe Park with an outlook to open sky, greenery and a panorama that stretches from the city skyline to the south, across Brunswick to the west, , then east across Northcote and Ruckers Hill towards the Dandenongs. It is just one of the things that sets this two-bedroom residence apart. Inside, crisp white walls and polished floorboards keep things fresh and bright, while a timber-lined ceiling adds warmth above the open-plan living and dining area. Expansive glazing draws the outdoors into the room, and glass doors open to a substantial balcony with room to dine, entertain or simply sit back and take in the view. The kitchen pairs extensive cabinetry with marble surfaces, an island bench and high-end appliances. Both bedrooms sit apart from the main living zone. The main includes built-in robes and a private ensuite, while the second has a deep built-in robe and sits beside the central bathroom, complete with a bath and separate shower, something increasingly hard to find in contemporary apartments. A European laundry, heating and cooling, external awnings, lift access and secure parking are also included. Sustainability was part of the thinking from the start. A 7-plus-star NatHERS rating, double glazing, cross-flow ventilation, external shading and passive design help make the most of natural light and airflow while keeping energy use in check. The building itself adds plenty more. Residents have access to a rooftop garden with barbecue facilities, outdoor seating and wide Melbourne views, while The Hub provides extra space for working, meetings or catching up. EV charging and a bike repair station enhance the everyday convenience. Downstairs, Balfe Park puts open green space right outside the building and creates the broad outlook that adds to the apartment's appeal. It is also a designated off-leash area, making it especially handy for dog owners and an easy way to become part of the local community. Around a five-minute walk away, East Brunswick Village brings Coles, FOMO Cinemas, cafés, restaurants and health and wellness facilities together in one place. Lygon Street adds its lively dining scene, while Barkly Square and CERES Environmental Park are also close by. Getting into the city is easy. Route 96 trams run along Nicholson Street on your doorstep , Brunswick Station is within walking distance and excellent local cycling routes including Canning Street,for a direct ride towards the CBD, and the Capital City Trail. The university and medical precincts are also within easy reach, with zoning for Brunswick South Primary School and Northcote High School. Light, space, panoramic views and a green outlook are not always easy to find in apartment living. Add award-winning architecture, excellent shared facilities and everything Brunswick East has close at hand, and this one feels a cut above. - Award-winning Balfe Park Lane by Kerstin Thompson Architects - Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous living proportions - Panoramic city, Brunswick and district views - Large balcony with space to dine and entertain - Marble kitchen with island bench and quality appliances - Main bedroom with robes and private ensuite - Central bathroom with separate bath and shower - 7-plus-star NatHERS rating and passive design - Rooftop garden, The Hub, EV charging and bike station - Balfe Park at the door, CERES, Lygon Street and EBV minutes away
