Within an amble of The Strand waterfront and Greenwich Reserve, this contemporary residence is a fab option for a young couple looking for a lifestyle near the seaside, with cafes and shops also close by.

It has today’s palette of greys, white and charcoal, with honey-toned floorboards laid through the ground floor, along with white plantation shutters and wall paint.

Entry is into the living area, which has high-set windows and architectural angles adding character. A hallway leads from here, past a powder room and the staircase with storage room beneath, then through to the dining area with storage cabinetry and integrated bar fridge.

Lots of white cupboards are on offer in the smart kitchen, which has a servery window behind the sink allowing ease of interaction with outdoor entertaining. Charcoal benches, white splashback tiles and stainless-steel dishwasher, underbench oven and gas cooktop are also on board.

Without any compromise of space, a cupboard laundry is discreetly tucked away in the kitchen area.

Upstairs, a floorboarded study area with a long work station sits between the two spacious, grey-carpeted bedrooms. One bedroom has a walk-in robe and a large en suite with a tub, while the other also has a built-in robe and an en suite (minus a tub). Both bathrooms are stylish and have walk-in showers.

A timber-framed sliding door opens to a north-facing dual-level deck which, with the addition of potted leafiness, becomes a private and pretty area in which to relax.

The property, loaded with undeniable appeal, also has Breezair ducted heating and cooling, water tanks to toilets and garden areas, and a remote-controlled garage with internal access via the dining area. There’s also side access to the property from Holland Court.
