Upon entry, the sheer volume of the lounge and dining area is immediately apparent.
Spanning the width of the unit, a full-glass facade - framed in modern, sleek aluminium - acts as a living portrait of the harbour. The original parquet flooring has been preserved, adding an organic, rich warmth that balances the modern transparency of the glass.
A distinctive hole in the wall, finished with exquisite bespoke wooden framing, creates a sophisticated architectural bridge between the lounge and the kitchen. It is an intentional design detail that encourages effortless entertaining.
The Kitchen is perfectly appointed for the discerning resident, featuring a tactile wooden countertop, classic built-in cabinetry, and a splash zone elegantly tiled for both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Unrivaled Harbor Views is your treat from the bedroom. A tranquil escape of generous proportions. Like the living area, it showcases the signature parquet flooring and vintage, character-rich cabinetry that anchors the space in history.
