This is not merely a home — it is a lifestyle statement.

Upon entering the apartment, one is immediately struck by the sense of volume and light. The generous double-height living area is a defining feature of this remarkable home.

In addition to the two bedrooms, the property benefits from a thoughtfully designed study/3rd bedroom — ideal for professionals or creatives seeking a comfortable and inspiring place to work from home. This cleverly incorporated space ensures the apartment can adapt to a range of modern lifestyle needs without compromising its openness or visual harmony.

One of the apartment's most appealing and rarest features is its private terrace. Providing a peaceful and sheltered retreat, the terrace is accessed directly from the study.
