115/496 Brunswick St

Perched on Level 1 of the Aquila complex, this stunning apartment arrives with a quiet kind of confidence. It’s generous in size, immaculate in presentation, and - thanks to a terrace that actually understands its purpose - a rare offering that doesn’t need to oversell itself. The kitchen is dressed in full SMEG - oven, cooktop, dishwasher - all stainless steel, all business. A stone benchtop anchors the space, paired with a glass splashback and double sink that suggest someone, somewhere, might actually enjoy doing the dishes. It flows seamlessly into the living and dining zone, where hardwood floors stretch out underfoot like they’ve been there all along, minding their own business. Every window comes fitted with both blockout and light-filtering blinds - because sometimes you want sunlight, and sometimes you want to pretend the world doesn’t exist. The living area is equipped with a split system for year-round comfort, while a video intercom adds a layer of security (and the ability to screen unexpected visitors with quiet authority). The main bedroom is a composed, well-thought-out retreat - complete with built-in robes, a study nook with a stone desktop for your productive alter ego, and a private ensuite. The second bedroom is equally generous, also featuring built-in robes and, in a rare twist, direct access to the terrace - ideal for morning air, evening unwinding, or dramatic exits. Step outside and the terrace reveals itself properly - spacious, open, and gifted with city skyline views that feel just far enough away to admire, but close enough to stay connected. It’s the kind of outdoor space that quietly elevates everything. There’s a European-style laundry tucked neatly out of sight, because some things are best kept discreet. Downstairs, the world continues conveniently. A tram stop sits right at your doorstep, while parks, shops, and the cafés, restaurants, and bars Fitzroy North is known for are all within easy reach. Spacious. Polished. Quietly impressive. This is the kind of apartment that doesn’t try too hard - because it doesn’t have to. *Property is leased unfurnished
