Living and dining spaces are centred around a chef’s island kitchen, where lofty reclaimed timber beams, louvre windows and an abundance of natural light create a welcoming space for cooking and gathering.
The central lounge opens through bi-fold doors to a sun-filled internal courtyard, while multiple outdoor areas provide a choice of places to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the tranquillity of this urban retreat.
A private deck and leafy courtyard enhance the sense of calm and versatility throughout the property.
