Last Listing description (August 2022)

Cute, quirky, and homely, the apartment at 1/25 Frenchman Street was made for a homebody. With courtyards on either side and copious windows, the home is always filled with both natural light and fresh air, as cross ventilation is a breeze.

Beautiful bamboo flooring greets you as you step inside as do the two separate living areas. The larger of which is directly north facing and can be divided into two, which is especially handy if you work from home and want a dedicated workspace area. It can also access the smaller of the two courtyards which come with this home, so peaceful lunch breaks in the sun are a go. It's paved, private and low maintenance and has gated access to the street if you have a pet that needs a daily walk.

Back inside and the adorable, renovated kitchen houses everything you need to make a meal for you and your guests. There is a separate meals area fit for a dining table, however the courtyards are likely where you'll be drinking and eating the evening away as you welcome the upcoming warm Spring evenings. The courtyards with established trees and greenery are ideal for adorning with fairy lights, water features or bird feeders.

Literally on the doorstep of the Downer shops, there's so much to be enjoyed without venturing more than a minute from your humble abode. Gang Gang caf and bar is likely to become your weekend local for a morning or afternoon coffee or your daily local if you prefer to work from home. Or perhaps you'd prefer to grab a drop from Peter's Wine Shop and order in some takeaway.
