2/98 Albert Street Preston, VIC 3072

Step through the front door of this beautifully designed two-level townhouse and you're welcomed by a light-filled entry that sets the tone for the whole home. To the front of the ground floor, a generous bedroom opens onto a private timber deck and landscaped front garden, while its adjacent ensuite and built-in robe. Just beyond, a smart study nook sits neatly off the hallway, perfect for working from home without sacrificing a spare room, and a handy storage cupboard keeps everyday clutter out of sight.

At the rear, the single garage offers secure parking with convenient internal access, so you can bring the groceries straight inside on a rainy Melbourne day. A laundry sits alongside, and the adjoining courtyard provides a low-maintenance spot for a morning coffee or a few pot plants. Throughout the home, double glazed windows keep things whisper quiet and wonderfully energy efficient, while a split system in every room means year-round comfort no matter the season.

Head upstairs and the home truly comes into its own. The open-plan living and dining area is bathed in natural light thanks to its west-facing orientation, and flows seamlessly out to a sun-soaked balcony that's made for afternoon drinks as the sun sets. The heart of the home is the sleek kitchen, finished with crisp twopac cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and ample bench space, with a skylight above the kitchen and dining zone that fills the space with daylight from morning to dusk. Tucked at the rear of the level, a spacious second bedroom with built-in robe sits beside the central bathroom, giving you a private, practical layout.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Preston, this home puts everything you need right at your doorstep. Families will love being zoned for Preston North East Primary and Preston High School, while TW Blake Park sits right behind, offering green open space just a short stroll away. Northland Shopping Centre is equally close for everyday shopping and entertainment, and the tram on Murray Road makes getting around effortless. Plenty Road and High Street's vibrant strip of cafes, restaurants and bars is moments away, along with the iconic Preston Market for fresh produce and weekend browsing. Stylish, practical and superbly located, this is Preston living at its best.
