Designed for easy living, with generous indoor and outdoor space and excellent amenities at its doorstep, this stylish single-level unit is a superb first home, downsizing option or investment.

A wide entrance with tall ceilings leads into a light-filled living and dining room, creating an inviting hub residents will love spending time in. Overlooking this space, the well-designed kitchen will make cooking a pleasure, featuring a full suite of Kleenmaid stainless steel appliances, tiled splashbacks and stone benches that extend to a breakfast bar.
