2/17 Maitland Road

Mayfield East NSW 2304

The residence has a lovely, wide entry with a solid front door that cuts out the noise of the outside world. It is more like a one bedroom house than a unit.

It's recently been refreshed with white paint throughout, new carpet in the bedroom and a renovated bathroom. Raked ceilings add space and light. There is a full-sized electric kitchen with meals area that links with the living rooms, a liberally sized bedroom with walk-in robe and split-level bathroom with laundry.

The apartment is suited to young or professional couples, or low maintenance, quiet and safe single living for those who still enjoy spacious surrounds and privacy. Water and unlimited internet access is included in the rent.

The tenant of two years has been a female school teacher who is relocating to Sydney. She says of living here:
"I've loved being so close to the city but still knowing my neighbours and barista by name. The unit is in such a convenient location for getting all around the place either by car, bus or train. I have always felt so safe here - in two years I've never felt like I was unsafe - it's hard to believe I live on a main road sometimes because I've always been left alone and enjoyed a quiet, private tenancy. It's also surprisingly quiet here even over the weekends!" -- SONYA
