Pairing the turn-key comfort of a first-rate renovation with the welcomed simplicity of a single-storey plan, this bright and spacious villa unit is an exceptional lifestyle prospect with equal credentials as a dependable yield investment.

Two generous bedrooms highlight the interior’s impressive proportions, served by built-in robes and a modernised bathroom with a bath, shower, separate WC, and chic black accents. Large living and dining zones wrap around to an upscale kitchen featuring stone benches, subway tiles, Asko/Fisher & Paykel appliances, and a breakfast bar for casual meals, spilling into a substantial yard with a broad pergola brilliant for blue-sky entertaining.
