Centrally, a large island covered in a contrasting oak provides ample storage. A dining area sits parallel, with further living space behind currently used as a home gym. An elevated window and frameless glass panels reveal light to the room below, giving additional character.

Adjacent to this sits a modern bathroom, fitted with a generous bath and separate shower, finished in a quartz tile. Linked by a long hallway, the laundry room currently houses freestanding storage units and countertop. To the front of the plan, a master bedroom gives access to the courtyard.
