The apartment comprises large living and dining area with 3 metre ceilings, well-appointed kitchen (Blanco appliances), two double bedrooms (one with ensuite), tiled bathroom and separate laundry. The walled courtyard, overlooked through handsome casement windows from the living area and one of the bedrooms, accommodates parking, a paved patio and a brick storage room/workshop.
