The house is fully furnished and there are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a recently renovated open plan kitchen and living area. The master bedroom has wall to wall built in wardrobes and French doors opening onto a small balcony. The second bedroom currently sleeps a toddler (with cot) but can be modified on request with either bunk beds or a queen size bed. And the third bedroom with its views out to Elizabeth Bay is currently a study but can also be transformed into another bedroom with a single or queen size bed on request.
