LAYOUT
Via the well-maintained communal entrance, you reach the private entrance to the apartment. Upon entering, the spacious open hallway provides access to all rooms. A separate guest WC is also located in the hallway.
At the front of the property is the atmospheric living room, which can be separated from the adjoining kitchen diner by means of a ceiling-height steel-framed glass door. This sitting area features large windows and has been finished in a dark colour palette, creating an intimate and stylish living environment.
The luxurious kitchen diner forms the central heart of the home and combines both light and dark elements. The generous island, with integrated seating, is finished in a light colour palette with handleless drawers and features a gold-finished Quooker tap, dishwasher and ample storage space.
The cooking area is positioned along the wall and finished in a contrasting black colour scheme, complemented by a solid natural stone worktop. It is equipped with a range of high-end built-in appliances, including two combination ovens, an induction hob with integrated extractor, refrigerator, freezer and wine climate cabinet.
Adjacent to the kitchen, a practical home office area has been created, as well as a cosy seating area with a feature fireplace. From here, the ceiling-height bi-fold doors provide access to the generous and beautifully landscaped 96 sqm garden.
Thanks to its generous proportions, the garden offers ample space for both a large dining area and a comfortable, spacious lounge area. At the rear of the garden is a detached 7 sqm wooden storage shed.

The luxurious en suite bathroom is finished in a neutral colour palette, featuring marble flooring and walls, partly combined with sand-coloured walls. The bathroom further comprises two separate wooden vanity units with handleless drawers, a freestanding bathtub and a spacious walk-in shower with an elegant bronze-framed shower screen.
A WC is located on the opposite side of the walk-in shower. The combination of luxurious materials, bronze detailing, built-in fittings and the generous proportions creates an exceptionally comfortable and exclusive bathroom.
A staircase from the master bedroom leads to the basement level. This floor has been redesigned and is currently used as a practical laundry area, with a washing machine and tumble dryer positioned separately, one above the other.
The basement also offers a generous storage area and a spacious walk-in wardrobe with a full wall of built-in cupboards and a separate wall dedicated to shoe storage, providing an abundance of storage space.

The separate shower room is accessed through a dark smoked-glass sliding door and features a distinctive bronze tiled wall.
The third bedroom is located at the front of the property and also comfortably accommodates a double bed, alongside two tall, dark built-in wardrobes. This room is likewise equipped with air conditioning.
The en suite bathroom has been finished in the same style as the master bathroom and features a walk-in shower, an elegant wooden vanity unit and a WC.
