Apartment living is relatively new to Werribee but with the development at 116 Watton Street, it’s arrived with a bang – and right on the main street, offering all the excitement and convenience of everything on the doorstep.

Only a small number of apartments including a penthouse, dispersed over five levels, remain, so downsizers, first-home buyers and investors should take note of this chance to get in on a slice of life new to town – and just some left have those wonderful views from a balcony over the treetops to the river beyond.
Imagine life where you can head out the door and be within steps of Watton Street’s cafes, boutiques, shops and restaurants, as well as the fab walking tracks and parklands along the Werribee River.
And many of Werribee’s attractions are a short zip in the car – Werribee Open Range Zoo, award-winning Shadowfax Winery and the wonderful Werribee Mansion and rose garden. Wyndham Harbour and the beach are about 10 minutes away.
Two-bedroom apartments are available, each with open-plan layouts that underscore spaciousness that seems as big as a house, as well as a tiled balcony with glass half-wall keeping views in sight.
Colour palettes match today’s look, with soft-greys and crisp white, while cabinetry comes in a laminate-woodgrain as a leavening contrast.
The kitchens have good storage, including a French-door cupboard pantry, accompanied by glass splashback and underbench oven, induction cooktop and dishwasher.
The two bedrooms, with built-in robes, share a smart bathroom with a large shower and woodgrain vanity with a large semi-recessed basin.
The apartments also have a split-system to ameliorate Werribee’s temperature extremes, and some have a remote-controlled garage in the basement (with storage compartments).
