A three-bedroom townhouse/apartment in a quiet beautiful tree-lined Armadale Street is rare indeed, more so when it resides across two north-facing levels at the front of a boutique group. This classical solid-brick residence with a carport earns its title as the penthouse of the block made even more special by its large windows wrapping three sides, two north-facing balcony retreats and a picturesque north-facing pebbled alfresco dining courtyard. Unique in scale and amenity, the generosity of the floorplan affords a spacious open-plan living and dining precinct flooded in sunshine from the north and west. A mirrored wall backdrop amplifies the feeling of space and light in the dining room; while a bank of northern windows in the living area includes door access to the lower-level balcony. Morning sun fills the separate and spacious well-appointed kitchen with all the trimmings including an Asko dishwasher; while a powder room services the ground-floor. Upstairs three large double fitted bedrooms include one with lovely northern elevated views and a balcony alongside a central fully-tiled bathroom with marble finishes and separate bath and shower. Exceptional amenity includes central heating, split-system air conditioning, separate laundry, floating floorboards, plantation shutters and a handy storage room in the carport. This exceptional residence takes pride of place in a premier Armadale streetscape located just a short stroll to trams on High Street and Dandenong Road, Armadale train station, surrounding cafes including The Coin Laundry, Little Grocer and close to Malvern Central and Glenferrie Road shopping.
