WHAT THE SELLERS LOVE ABOUT THE HOME
1. The property is positioned in a quiet and leafy yet incredibly accessible location. Walking in the neighbourhood is serene, yet you're never too far away from the urban hum, with various amenities to satisfy all your needs.
2. It is incredibly spacious for a two-bedroom, with more than enough room either for guests sleeping over, a play section for the kids, a study nook or various other ideas in this very functional apartment.
3. It's amazing how much sunlight comes through the large, north-east facing windows in the living/dining area. Delightful throughout the year, and warming up the apartment in the chilly season.
