Strata Fee: $990 per quarter Rates: $441 per quarter Land tax (investors only): $563 per quarter Set on the ground-floor, this sunny, ground-level apartment is part of the Nexus complex. Built by the Village Building Company in 2015, this Is a 21st Century apartment, which has been very nicely prevented by the owner. One of the stand-out things about this apartment is the sunny, private, north-facing courtyard. With a garden border big enough to grow a few herbs and veggies, the courtyard patio is big enough for some garden furniture, which the new owner will probably want to use on a daily basis as a place to have their morning coffee or soak up some winter sun. There is a glass sliding door with security screen door leading outdoors from the living room, which will be appreciated by those who like natural ventilation. There is an alfresco area within the courtyard, so that you can enjoy the outdoors even on rainy or hot sunny days. Part of the courtyard is open to the sky, which is perfect for getting some sunshine at home or for those who enjoy a bit of courtyard gardening. It will be hard to find a more child-friendly or pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment than this one, as the side gate and level access also make the courtyard a convenient place to head out with for a walk with little ones or furry ones. The other stand-out thing about this apartment is the extra-long hallway closet with four doors. This hallway storage, running the full length between the kitchen and the bedroom, has the flexibility to be configured as a pantry, a linen press, additional hanging space, or just general storage for items. Downstairs, next to the car space is a large lock-up storage unit, which is big enough to be a bike locker. The car space has no neighbour on one side, which means there is plenty of room to open the driver’s car door. There is an integrated laundry and bathroom, which has some nice touches, like floor-to-ceiling tiles, a handheld shower head, extra large mirror, and an above-counter vanity basin. The kitchen is functional with stone benchtops and plenty of cupboards. Finally, the bedroom has a triple-door, mirrored built-in robe and a leafy outlook. Located in a quiet neighbourhood, close to shops, light rail, and walking distance to wetlands and playgrounds, this is a one-bedroom apartment which will appeal to discerning buyers.
