G/31 Victoria Street, Grafton, Nsw, 2460

There​ ​aren't​ ​many​ ​units​ ​in​ ​Grafton​ ​like​ ​this​ ​one.​ ​Elevated,​ ​generously​ ​proportioned​ ​and​ ​quietly​ ​metropolitan​ ​in​ ​feel,​ ​Unit​ ​G​ ​at​ ​31​ ​Victoria​ ​Street​ ​offers​ ​the​ ​space​ ​of​ ​a​ ​family​ ​home​ ​with​ ​none​ ​of​ ​the​ ​work​ ​that​ ​comes​ ​with​ ​one.

Soaring​ ​ceilings​ ​and​ ​an​ ​expansive​ ​open-plan​ ​living​ ​and​ ​dining​ ​zone​ ​measuring​ ​6.4m​ ​x​ ​11.3m​ ​set​ ​the​ ​tone​ ​—​ ​this​ ​is​ ​a​ ​room​ ​built​ ​for​ ​real​ ​furniture,​ ​real​ ​gatherings​ ​and​ ​a​ ​wall​ ​of​ ​books.​ ​The​ ​kitchen​ ​sits​ ​neatly​ ​alongside,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​whole​ ​space​ ​opens​ ​to​ ​a​ ​covered​ ​deck​ ​with​ ​an​ ​uninterrupted​ ​outlook​ ​over​ ​the​ ​Clarence​ ​River.​ ​Watch​ ​the​ ​ski​ ​boats​ ​and​ ​the​ ​rowers​ ​from​ ​your​ ​lounge​ ​chair,​ ​or​ ​take​ ​the​ ​short​ ​path​ ​down​ ​to​ ​the​ ​riverbank​ ​when​ ​you'd​ ​rather​ ​be​ ​beside​ ​the​ ​water​ ​than​ ​above​ ​it.​ ​All​ ​the​ ​benefits​ ​of​ ​riverfront​ ​living,​ ​without​ ​a​ ​blade​ ​of​ ​grass​ ​to​ ​mow.

Three​ ​well-scaled​ ​bedrooms​ ​are​ ​set​ ​privately​ ​away​ ​from​ ​the​ ​living​ ​areas.​ ​The​ ​main​ ​is​ ​a​ ​genuine​ ​retreat​ ​at​ ​3.5m​ ​x​ ​5.7m​ ​with​ ​walk-in​ ​robe​ ​and​ ​ensuite,​ ​while​ ​bedrooms​ ​two​ ​and​ ​three​ ​are​ ​both​ ​doubles​ ​with​ ​robes,​ ​serviced​ ​by​ ​a​ ​large​ ​main​ ​bathroom​ ​with​ ​bath​ ​and​ ​separate​ ​shower.​ ​Ceiling​ ​fans​ ​feature​ ​throughout​ ​and​ ​split-system​ ​air​ ​conditioning​ ​is​ ​fitted​ ​to​ ​almost​ ​every​ ​room.

A​ ​private​ ​courtyard​ ​gives​ ​you​ ​two​ ​distinct​ ​outdoor​ ​spaces,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​lock-up​ ​garage​ ​completes​ ​the​ ​package.​ ​Everything​ ​is​ ​neat,​ ​tidy​ ​and​ ​ready​ ​to​ ​move​ ​into​ ​—​ ​there​ ​is​ ​genuinely​ ​nothing​ ​to​ ​do.

Best​ ​of​ ​all​ ​is​ ​the​ ​position.​ ​Grafton's​ ​CBD,​ ​cafés,​ ​shops,​ ​riverside​ ​parks​ ​and​ ​services​ ​are​ ​all​ ​an​ ​easy​ ​walk​ ​away.​ ​Leave​ ​the​ ​car​ ​in​ ​the​ ​garage;​ ​you​ ​may​ ​find​ ​weeks​ ​go​ ​by​ ​without​ ​needing​ ​it.

Whether​ ​you're​ ​downsizing​ ​without​ ​downgrading,​ ​buying​ ​a​ ​low-maintenance​ ​base​ ​close​ ​to​ ​town,​ ​or​ ​investing​ ​in​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​CBD's​ ​larger​ ​and​ ​more​ ​distinctive​ ​units,​ ​this​ ​one​ ​deserves​ ​your​ ​inspection.
