SOLD by Miles Real Estate. The entire top-floor corner of a boutique low-rise block is the sole domain of this substantial apartment that exceeds expectations with its huge proportions, abundance of light and beautiful elevated vistas. One of only eight amidst the wonderful gardens of highly sought-after 'Ashby Close', this oversized solid brick apartment is open on three sides highlighting its impressive sense of space as it easily unfolds from a wide entrance hallway. Impeccably-presented in its original 1960s style, the comfortable single-level interior features two superb bedrooms with built-in robes including a main overlooking a magnificent magnolia tree and a light-filled second facing to the north. Central is a bright bathroom (shower, bathtub, laundry area) and separate toilet before a spacious kitchen with stainless-steel stove, classic cabinetry and fabulous views.
