14/172 Princes Street, Carlton North

This well-presented two-bedroom apartment offers an effortless inner-city lifestyle with a practical layout, comfortable proportions and an enviable address close to some of Melbourne's most celebrated precincts.

The open-plan living and dining area forms the heart of the apartment, with tiled floors, a split system air conditioner and generous natural light through glass doors that open directly onto a private balcony. It's a bright, easy-to-live-in space that accommodates daily life and relaxed entertaining with equal ease. The adjacent kitchen is functional and well-equipped, with white cabinetry, wooden benchtops, a tiled splashback and is fitted with quality appliances including an induction cooktop and underbench electric oven.

Both bedrooms are comfortably sized and carpeted, each featuring built-in robes and is serviced by a well-appointed bathroom. The combined bathroom and laundry includes a bathtub with shower over, toilet and internal washing machine connections — a practical configuration that makes the most of the available footprint. A car space is included with the property.

Lygon Street's celebrated dining and café strip is right on the doorstep, with the tram stops (route 1&6) providing a direct connection into the CBD. Woolworths Carlton on Drummond Street, an array of local grocers and specialty shops and the Melbourne CBD are all within easy reach. The University of Melbourne and Monash University's Parkville Campus are both close by, making this an equally compelling choice for owner-occupiers and investors. Edinburgh Gardens, Royal Park and the surrounding neighbourhood's open spaces sit within easy reach, while Parkville train station is the closest rail connection.

We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.
