Overview

Ground Floor Living with Private Garden Courtyard, Low Strata & Outstanding Convenience

Positioned on the ground floor of a small complex of just eight residences, this well-presented two-bedroom apartment combines low-maintenance living, exceptionally low holding costs and the added benefit of a private garden courtyard area. Freshly painted throughout with newly stained timber trims, the apartment presents clean and refreshed, featuring a practical floor plan, hardwood flooring through the main living areas, built-in wardrobes to both bedrooms and fresh carpet to the main bedroom. The kitchen has also been refreshed with new flooring and updated fixtures, including a near-new stove and canopy rangehood. A standout feature is the exclusive use of the garden courtyard, which is fully fenced and gated for the unit's use, providing excellent privacy. This valuable outdoor extension of the apartment creates an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining or enjoying a weekend BBQ - offering the benefits of a garden lifestyle with the convenience of apartment living.
