The open-plan kitchen giving on to the dining room allows the chef to chat with guests and encourages a relaxed welcoming ambience for night-time company. The kitchen boasts a dedicated pantry, stone-look bench tops, contemporary induction oven and whisper-quiet range hood. With capacious shelving and cabinetry with occasional splashes of colour, the Master Chef will find all they need to create culinary concoctions of exquisite taste.

Having been designed with a welcome-home philosophy in mind, the lounge, dining room and kitchen lie separately from the air-conditioned bedrooms which are discreetly positioned at a distance from household activities down the hallway. The substantial master bedroom offers its own built-ins, rich hard-wearing carpet and well-appointed ensuite. This anterior location gives glimpses of Mt Coot-tha and cooling gentle breezes afresh.

On the other side of the hallway lies the second bedroom and impressive family bathroom, containing the laundry, a full-sized, low-lying bath for easy bathing, and a modern vanity. Further on, the second double bedroom in neutral tones has its own mirrored built-ins, ceiling fan and views of abundant greenery.

Together with this expansive and private retreat comes a rarely-seen lock-up garage far beyond standard height standing at 3.65 metres. All nine units also have shared access to the lock-up storage room which is over 10 metres long. This can be used for surplus furniture, boxes and storage. Another major attraction of this property is sure to be the large private grassy yard and garden behind the building for exclusive use of owners.

The quality inside, peace and quiet outside and superbly convenient location distinguish this as your perfect inner city oasis.
