89 North Street

This studio loft apartment offers the best in inner-city living. There are few if any other studios of this kind on their own title available in Melbourne. A stone's throw from Ascot Vale train station and a short gallop from Moonee Valley and Flemington racecourses, this property is spring's safest bet. Convenience is the key: the train and bus only 60 seconds away and trams only a 10 minute walk away. Unrivalled in its uniqueness, this studio has high ceilings, loft bedroom and renovated bathroom. Its jewel in the crown is its New York style rooftop garden, ideal for cocktails or beers on a warm, summer night. The 1930s building was once a bootmaker's shop but today is a light-filled, innovative home. Further development is possible with multiple storeys an option. Add two or three extra levels (subject to council approval).
