A sought after address at the heart of sought after Brunswick Town CA and chic Western Road shopping district, although technically lower ground floor this fabulous apartment is just dipped down from the pavement so it is private, and strikingly quiet – but bright. With its own discreet front door it is easy to shake off the day and inside, the hallway is fresh and inviting with crisp clean lines.

Ahead, a beautifully designed living room combines classic elegance with sophisticated open plan living which has plenty of space to share and as entertaining is at its heart, French doors sweep open to the sociable, lit patio which becomes an extension of the home during summer. – which could, just with a dining set and a few pots, become a leafy oasis of calm. Inside, blonde wood floors and spotlights overhead keep the living space fuss free and a central island (and a choice of lighting levels) ensures the kitchen area is inviting, but not dominant. Tucked away and good to go, everything is to hand from the gas hob and fan oven beneath a hood and there is plumbing for a washing machine.

Outside, lit and paved for peaceful evenings or weekend bbq’s the patio with room for a table and chairs faces west for the afternoon and evening sunshine could, just with a few pots, become a private, leafy oasis of calm at the heart of the city.

Also opening to the patio and conveniently close to the kitchen for midnight snacks, the quiet guest room is simple but stylish and ready for visitors. Central to the apartment, the soothing bathroom is right on trend with a shower above a big bath.

At the front of the building the spacious master bedroom follows the broad bay of the building, so there is extra floor space, the decoration is soothing and the organised walk in wardrobe and fabulous wet room en-suite are ready to move into, so you won’t need to change a thing.

Vendor’S Comments: - “There’s always something to do here – or we can just come home and enjoy the bright, generous space inside. We actually have a waiting list of friends who want to come and stay because the location is so good! Our favourite room is probably the living room as we can close the doors and be completely private away from the city, then open the French doors to the patio on summer evenings and have a candle lit supper. We shall miss the gracious sweep of our bedroom as well, which will be hard to match.”
