If your family has outgrown your current home but a house feels out of reach, this apartment might be exactly what you've been looking for. With three proper bedrooms, a separate study that works just as well as a fourth bedroom, and timber-style floors throughout, it feels more like a home than a typical apartment.

Getting in and out is genuinely easy. Pull into the secure car park, take the lift up, and you're a few steps from your front door - no stairs, no hassle, whether you're carrying groceries or a pram.

Every bedroom is a good size with built-in storage, and the main bedroom has its own bathroom and air conditioning. The main bathroom has both a shower and a bath, and the laundry is tucked in alongside it - practical and out of the way. The study is flexible enough to set up however suits you: home office, kids' room, guest room, or all three at different times.

The kitchen is well set up for people who actually cook - gas stovetop, oven, dishwasher, stone benchtops, and a proper rangehood. It opens straight into the living and dining area, which stays cool in summer thanks to the second air conditioner and spills out onto the balcony for those evenings when you want a bit of fresh air.

The building comes with a surprisingly long list of shared facilities: pool, gym, sauna, tennis and basketball courts, BBQ area, a games room, and larger communal spaces for when you have a crowd over. There are also two childcare centres on-site, one right in your building - a genuine convenience if you have young kids.

Outside, the location holds up just as well. The train station is a 9-minute walk, and the Sydney Markets and local shops are just as close. When you need a bigger shop, Costco, Bunnings, and Lidcombe Shopping Centre are about five minutes by car. The M4 and Rhodes are also easy to get to, so you're well connected whichever direction you need to go.
