About this property
Fly Around Town in Pocket Rocket
If you’re looking for a place that’s comfortable, warm and has lovely park views of Barclay Reserve, then this light filled pocket rocket ticks all your boxes. On the first floor, it’s a place to rest in front of the HD 50 inch TV, a place to work with its desk set up, a place to eat, a place to sleep for up to 4 people and everything you need to make you feel sharp at the start of the day with a coffee machine and a great shower! All this, and it’s quiet, yet super convenient.
It’s amazing how quiet it is inside this 1 bedroom apartment. With Barclay Reserve across the road attracting the local birdlife and baseball fans, you’ll enjoy that there is so much so close to this stylish pad. Grab a meal at the Sunshine City Club, or get involved at the Maltese Cultural Association, or you can walk under Anderson Road to Sunshine Marketplace Shopping Centre, Sunshine Plaza and beyond into Victoria University or City West Plaza to enjoy the gastronomic food delights of The Granary Café, Treviet, Gold Leaf (Chinese), Lazat Malaysian or Thuan An (Vietnamese). You’re just one train stop (Ginnifer) to Sunshine Hospital and Sunshine Mercy and Day Hospital – perfect for those doing their nursing or medical residency or maybe vocational training and need a neat comfortable place to stay or visiting professionals to the Harvester Technical College. Or go down to Sunshine station to have a cocktail or beer at the Derrimut Hotel. And for nature lovers, there are endless walking tracks along Kororoit Creek to explore. Only 12 kilometres to the CBD, you’ll love having a taste of Melbourne’s west, while knowing you are within minutes of a great day out at the MCG, Marvel Stadium or a live show.
