There is an expansive 110m² outdoor roof terrace all set for alfresco dining with fireplace and barbecue facilities.

There are two living areas - this is the spacious, open-plan family living space that opens right up to the outdoors.

The large kitchen is ideal for entertaining

‘Beige carpet on the walls’

This is the entry to the more formal living area.

There’s an easy flow between all the living spaces in the apartment.

The main suite opens directly to the outdoors - it receives the morning sun.

The terrace steps down at one side, creating a quiet space for morning coffee.

This is one of four spacious bedrooms - the owners are downsizing now they no longer have children living at home.

Bathrooms are beautifully tiled with timber veneer vanities.

An alfresco entertaining area for all seasons - the fireplace comes into its own in the evening.

The surprise for first-time viewers? An expansive garden terrace behind the former post office.
