Expressions of Interest - Closing Tuesday, 24th November at 6pm (unless sold prior) Rust-red window frames, exposed concrete, warm timber, playful geometry and a wraparound terrace almost as big as the living space itself. Designed by Kennedy Nolan as part of Nightingale Leftfield, this one-bedroom apartment is bold, quirky and unconventional. The living and dining area reveals a fascinating mix of materials, with Australian hardwood floors beneath textured ceilings, a striking terracotta-tiled column and custom Vic Ash joinery that's both practical and sculptural. A fan keeps the air moving, and two sets of sliding doors lead straight outside. The galley kitchen joins in with charcoal cabinetry, terrazzo-tiled benchtops and graphic-faced overhead cupboards, along with an induction cooktop, oven and dishwasher. There's even a cork pinboard wall, giving notes and artwork somewhere to live. Then there's the terrace. Spanning two sides, it has room for a long dining table, a lounging corner and enough pots to satisfy a keen gardener. At one end, a giant circular opening frames a perfect round of sky, while the longer stretch takes in district views. The bedroom has a fan, built-in robe, wool carpet and French balcony overlooking a patchwork of roofs and treetops. The bathroom continues the creative concept, featuring blush terrazzo tiles, brushed brass tapware and a crisp white wall-hung basin. Hydronic heating and storage are additional features. At ground level, a planted walkway leads to a garden courtyard and open-air staircase designed for chance encounters with neighbours. Residents share a communal laundry, vegetable garden and rooftop. The fossil fuel-free development also has solar power and an average 8.1-star NatHERS energy rating. Cafés, restaurants and a grocer are part of Nightingale Village, with Sydney Road just around the corner for everything from a quick bite to a night out. Anstey Station, Route 19 trams and the Upfield bike path make getting into the city easy, with little need for a car. Unafraid of colour, full of character and flanked by a terrace with serious presence, this is a one-bedder with plenty to say for itself. - Bold Kennedy Nolan design in the acclaimed Nightingale Leftfield - Wraparound terrace on two sides, almost as big as the living space - Giant circular opening framing the sky at one end of the outdoor area - Exposed concrete ceilings, hardwood floors and sculptural joinery - Living and dining with a fan and two sets of sliding doors outside - Galley kitchen with induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher and pinboard - Bedroom with built-in robe, fan and French balcony over treetops - Bathroom with blush terrazzo-look tiles and brushed brass tapware - Communal laundry, vegetable garden and shared rooftop for residents - Fossil fuel-free, solar-powered, average 8.1-star energy rating - ERV ducted system
