This well-maintained semi-detached double-storey flat in Bonela offers comfortable living with a spacious and practical layout.

The downstairs area features an open-plan lounge and dining area, elegantly finished with high-quality porcelain floor tiling that enhances the light and sense of space. The extended kitchen is spacious and fully fitted with modern light-wood cabinetry and durable granite countertops, including a built-in under-counter oven, matching four-plate hob and an extractor fan. A serving hatch opens the kitchen up to the entire living area, keeping the space social and connected. For convenience, a back door leads directly from the kitchen to the utility and garden areas.
A wide, tiled staircase with a modern stainless-steel balustrade leads upstairs, where the property offers two carpeted bedrooms with sufficient space for built-in wardrobes. The bathroom layout is practical, with a separate toilet and a bathroom fitted with a shower and basin.

The backyard also includes a steep undeveloped section with stone-retaining features and decorative concrete balustrades, offering potential to expand the garden, create a relaxing terrace or even install a swimming pool.
The property sits on fertile soil, and the previous owner had already established a small functional garden. This includes small gardens at both the front and back yards focused on planting vegetables and herbs such as spinach, tomatoes, and curry leaves. The yard’s appeal is further enhanced by mature fruit-bearing trees, including Mango and Banana trees.
