2/252 Union Road, Balwyn, VIC 3103

Set within a classic mid-century brick block, this well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment offers an easy-care lifestyle in a convenient pocket of Balwyn. Warm timber floorboards and generous natural light give the home a fresh, welcoming feel. It is ready to move into now, and there is scope to add your own style over time.

The spacious lounge is filled with sunlight and features glazed double doors, split-system air-conditioning and a heater. It is a comfortable space for relaxing or entertaining. Just off the entry, the meals area flows into the original-style kitchen. It offers plentiful white cabinetry, a freestanding gas cooker with oven, a stainless steel sink and a window overlooking leafy treetops.

Both bedrooms are well sized and have timber floors, built-in robes and windows that bring in plenty of light. The bathroom has a retro pink-tiled finish with a bath, a separate shower recess and a vanity. A laundry sits alongside. A standout feature is the sunroom, a bright, flexible space with a feature brick wall and tiled-look flooring. It is ideal as a study, reading nook or sunny retreat.

Outside, the established communal gardens and lawns create a pleasant, leafy outlook. A rear clothesline area is also provided, along with one car space.

Union Road is well placed for daily convenience. Mont Albert Tram Terminus Village, with its cafés, pharmacy and specialty stores, is close by, and the 109 tram offers direct access to the city. Union Station and the Union Road shops of Surrey Hills are nearby, as is Balwyn East Shopping Centre on Belmore Road with its Coles supermarket and local traders. Further afield, Whitehorse Road's Balwyn shops and Box Hill are easily reached by tram. For green space, Mont Albert Park offers a playground and open lawns for the dog and the kids, while Beckett Park and the adjoining Maranoa Gardens provide bushland walks, lookout views and a large playground.

A solid choice for first-home buyers, downsizers and investors alike.
