Adjacent to the dining area, a curved moulded archway on the right introduces a luxe kitchen leading to a charming outdoor balcony. Nestled beside the living room are the primary bedroom and bath and a guest bed and bath, each opening to its respective balconies.
Greige-toned panelled cabinetry layered with a marble countertop and splashback that extends up to 2’ and classical brass hardware lend the kitchen a refined European aesthetic.
