4/1 Clarendon Street Maidstone, VIC 3012

Its scale is generous, its layout is logical, and its position in a well-maintained modern complex makes the value proposition here an easy one to grasp - this freshly repainted three-bedroom townhouse is ready to reward its next owner from the moment settlement clears.

The ground floor is quietly effective. Two carpeted bedrooms - each with their own split system - are served by a full bathroom with bath, separate shower and dark tile surround. Internal garage access, a separate laundry, a security front door and a private courtyard complete a lower level that's comfortable, contained and low on demands.

Upstairs, the home's most appealing qualities take hold. Timber flooring carries across an expansive open-plan living and dining zone - recessed lighting overhead, split system air conditioning throughout and sliding doors opening directly onto a full-width balcony. The kitchen performs without fuss alongside: taupe cabinetry, stone-look benchtops, gas cooktop, oven and dishwasher. A third bedroom with split system, a separate WC and second balcony complete an upper level that's genuinely easy to live in.

Highpoint Shopping Centre, the Maribyrnong River trails and Footscray's celebrated café and restaurant precinct are all within comfortable reach - bus connections and freeway access rounding out a location that's as practical as it is well-positioned. The case for Clarendon Street is straightforward, and it's strong.
