MOST of the Maylands homes featured in the Chook tend to be vintage properties, but this is a contemporary classic.

It’s got a brutalist rectangular design and a nice symmetry with the apartment buildings split by a narrow path.

The lawns and nascent trees help to soften the facade and add a touch of green to the cool blues and exposed brickwork.

This two bedroom two bathroom apartment is bright, modern and inviting.

The large sliding glass doors leading to the balcony let in plenty of natural light.

The kitchen has masses of storage and a nice mix of textures with wooden cupboards and drawers rubbing shoulders with sleek white benchtops and black appliances.

They’ve even managed to squeeze in an island/breakfast bar, which is great for an apartment of this size.

With summer in full flow, you’ll be spending time on the long spacious 24sqm balcony, which has plenty of room for a dining table, lounge setting and more. The current owners have a BBQ and smoker, plus some potted plants.

The carpeted bedrooms are modern yet cosy, with the main featuring a walk-in robe and a tidy ensuite. The second bedroom has mirrored built-in robes and plenty of natural light. Both bedrooms have sliding glass doors leading to the massive balcony.

An added bonus is a separate laundry, and another bathroom with shower.

The home includes secure entry, undercover parking and is part of a small boutique complex.

Situated on Fogerthorpe Crescent, it’s around the corner from the Swan River, Maylands Golf Course and the burgeoning Whatley Crescent café scene.

This is a stylish abode on the fringes of the city.
