Note from the owner
Having completed my nursing training at the nearby Austin Hospital as a young girl I have been living in and familiar with the area for a long time. Everything you need is only minutes away.
I love the large open plan living area and a massive private balcony impressively overlooking treetops. It feels so spacious with the open plan design. Admiring the sunset from the balcony while sipping on a quiet drink, was my favourite way to relax before dinner. Make sure you have your camera ready for those stunning hues of burnt orange and lilac sunsets.
I love to make the living space beautiful, practical and modern and hope you feel like this is your home away from home like I do.
