2/43 Lingwell Road, Hawthorn East, Vic 3123

If you’ve been looking for somewhere you can pop down the road for your morning coffee and still come home to peace and quiet, this could be the one. On the top floor of a boutique block of just six, it’s been freshly painted and updated, so you can move straight in without having to pick up a paintbrush.

The lounge is generously proportioned, with a lovely arched window, built-in shelving and split-system air conditioning for those sticky summer nights. In the kitchen, two more arched windows bring in the light, and the one over the sink looks straight into the trees. There’s a gas cooker, a dishwasher, plenty of white cupboards and space for a table to enjoy a meal or a cuppa with a friend.

Both bedrooms are comfortably sized, with built-in robes and room for a queen bed, and the bathroom has a shower over the bath plus laundry facilities. The toilet’s separate, which anyone who’s ever shared a place will appreciate. A secure entry and your own car space round it all out.

As for getting around, the local shops are a short stroll away, with Burke Road trams plus Auburn and Camberwell stations within easy reach. Zoned for sought-after Camberwell High School and Auburn Primary School, Rathmines Road Reserve is handy for a run or walking the dog, and when you need a bigger shop, Camberwell Junction has you covered. Everything is close enough that you won’t need the car half the time.

We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.
