• One of a handful in the complex behind the heritage-listed walls of an historic former pub

• Two bedrooms, a travertine-laced bathroom, open living/dining area and first-rate kitchen

• North/south balconies, heating/cooling, a European laundry, garage and intercom

• Steps to parks, trains, the buzz of central Footscray and verve of Seddon Village

Among the heritage-listed walls of the icon that was the Rising Sun Hotel, this lavishly equipped, wonderfully spacious and endlessly practical residence offers a lifestyle of vibrancy and amenity with the best of the inner west at its doorstep.

A conversion of the very highest calibre, the abode places real-world function at the fore. Two oversized bedrooms are joined on a quiet lower level by robes, a courtyard and chic bathroom with a stone vanity top and swathes of striking travertine, while above, northern and southern balconies frame an upper floor where sun streams in at all hours, inside and out seamlessly merge and the largest gatherings are comfortably catered for.

Further high-grade travertine, a waterfall breakfast bar and stone worktops all feature in an open kitchen/meals setting, while a long list of other highlights includes split-system heating and cooling, a European laundry, remote-controlled garage and intercom/security entry.

Why you’ll love this location:

A rare blend of space, affordability and convenience, it’s only ever a short walk to the storied Whitten Oval, parks and playgrounds, two train stations, various bus routes, Footscray’s famous market, cuisine, shopping and nightlife and Seddon Village for trendy bars and pubs, renowned restaurants, world-class coffee, bakers and gourmet grocers.

The new hospital, Dixon Veloway and West Gate Tunnel are all only moments away, as are picturesque river trails, Highpoint Shopping Centre and everything that sees Yarraville so widely adored.
