102/45-51 Andover Street, Carlton, St George

Tucked peacefully into the Becerra Architects-designed 'Ritz at Carlton' building, this light-filled apartment offers a spacious, impeccably appointed one-bedroom layout with seamless indoor-outdoor transitions. The expansive, air-conditioned living space combines lounge and dining with a superbly designed gas kitchen fitted with stainless steel Smeg appliances, stone benchtops and practical storage, all opening out to a large balcony for relaxed alfresco dining or entertaining.

The king-sized bedroom has a generous built-in wardrobe, air-conditioning and plantation shutters, and the stylish home is served by a chic tiled bathroom with glass-framed rainfall shower and a good-sized European laundry with sink and dryer, plus an on-title secure parking space and storage cage with level lift access. It is ideally positioned less than 800m from Allawah and Carlton train stations and village shops, with Westfield Hurstville, St George Hospital and several popular parks within a 2km radius.
