This spacious three-bedroom duplex apartment unfolds across two levels, offering generous open-plan living and thoughtfully separated sleeping areas.

Upon entry, you’re welcomed into the main living area, filled with natural light and opening onto the balcony. From here, stairs lead to the upper level, where you’ll find a relaxed kids’ lounge with TV and the third bedroom — an ideal retreat for children or additional guests.

On the main level, the dining area sits adjacent to the living space and includes cupboards and storage for longer or more comfortable stays. Beyond this, the open-plan kitchen is spacious and well laid out, flowing seamlessly into a quiet reading nook.

This beautiful seating area sits in front of striking cathedral-shaped windows, with calming green, tree-filled views — the perfect spot to unwind with a book or morning coffee.

A corridor leads to the private sleeping quarters. Here you’ll find the second bedroom, followed by two bathrooms located side by side, and finally the master bedroom positioned at the end for added privacy.
