The two bedrooms both have mirrored built-in wardrobes and feature bamboo flooring, which is continued into the living areas. The kitchen is finished in a stunning white polyurethane, which offers higher levels of durability and hardiness than other options. The cabinets have sleek and streamlined silver handles, with inbuilt modern appliances and finished off with high quality stone benchtops. Located in Auburn, the granny flat is finished in a very modern striking dark coloured brick with white feature windows and doors.
