Situated on the ground floor with its own private courtyard with gate access to the front road, this stunning apartment has everything you need for a functional first home, or a sound investment property. Opposite the escarpment where walking paths lead through the natural vegetation, you can enjoy an afternoon walk on the wild side.

A photographers and bird watchers dream, from the escarpment you can see the storms rolling in over the rooftops, a dramatic and awe inspiring site as the dark clouds gather. Or for the nature inclined, take a walk through the native bushlands to discover the local peacock that calls this area home or any of the many other birds flitting through the trees.

This is more than your average courtyard, with a verandah area off the home providing undercover entertaining space plus a raised decked patio for garden entertaining, there is ample lawn space for the tropical gardens that screen the property and help to create a lush tropical barrier from the street.

Inside the apartment is open and bright with loads of natural light coming through. An open plan living and dining room are tiled underfoot and air-conditioned for comfort, plus open out onto the verandah expanding your living space by double.

All three of the bedrooms are a great size, the two at the front combine a built in robe with tiled flooring and A/C, while the master is separately located at the rear with a walk in robe, ensuite and personal access to the courtyard with leafy tropical views.

The kitchen is superb with wrap around counters providing a wealth of space and defining a large section of the home to the cooking area. Overhead cabinetry maximises storage while the natural timber finish adds a warm and inviting feel.

Of the two bathrooms here, both are streamline and well presented with a black on white timeless design that will not age. The master bathroom has a large vanity with ample storage and a large shower, while the ensuite is the same with some glass shelving for additional storage options.

Located only a few minutes to Palmerston CBD, walking and bike paths, shopping or just a relaxing day off with friends at the coffee shop – everything is within minutes yet once you are through the door, it feels like miles away.
