5 / 2 Aphrasia Street, Newtown VIC 3220

This classic ’70s unit has a true architectural feel of its era and was considered very cutting-edge at the time. With light and space a priority, the living area is surprisingly spacious, with plenty of room for the dining zone as well. The funky kitchen is original but in very good condition and is probably the best example of the design features of the time.

Walk one way down to the Newtown Pako cafés or the other way to West and the amazing shopping precincts that both are renowned for. Just as easily, you can stroll into town or around the corner to a couple of excellent pubs.

On the ground floor of the complex, meaning easy access without stairs and also allowing the opportunity to use the outdoor common area spaces, it is quietly tucked off the main road and facing Pleasant Street. There is a private car parking zone for occupants only and an allocated storage cupboard, plus the common laundry available for use. However, this may not be necessary here, as the unit itself has sufficient room in the bathroom to accommodate the washer.

Perfect first home if you’re just starting out or an ideal investment if you wish to inherit an excellent renter at $310 per week.
