Between Albion and Sunshine stations, this stylish 3 bedroom villa packs a punch with its renovated comfort and ideal convenience. Plush with its 3-seater couch offering desirable comfort after a big day exploring, this classic charmer has a casual open plan feel with a stylish kitchen/laundry, a queen size bedroom, a twin bedroom, a study/bedroom with convertible armchair/sofa bed and a vogue bathroom, with allocated undercover parking.

Renovated blending its vintage origins with modern flair, it’s a place to be a base while you enjoy exploring. The beds are super comfy with pillowtop mattresses and quality linens with a leather armchair that converts to a sofa bed for one. The soft grey 3-seater couch is perfect for relaxing, chatting, watching TV or reading a book, and the dining table is big enough for an evening meal for 4, a card game or to answer a quick email.
