Abode – Mount Eden

 

This is the unit that we have been living in since Nov2009.

 

There are two units across three floors. The ground floor has two garages, these take up half the depth of the block. The first floor belongs to another couple and we live on the second floor.

It’s a metal box with a fair amount of light coming in from glass panes and windows. Unfortunately it cooks like a roasting dish in the oven when the sun is in full force. Maybe that will be a great thing in winter?
To get to our level we take four flights of stairs from the garage level. We’ve put up the Bali paintings and the black &white photos along the way to provide some inspiration during the long walk.
The unit is painted in off-whites, creams and greys. All pretty modern and neutral which is nice.
The living area is one open plan space. We did not manage to fit all the pieces of our couch in, so one bit is the second study.
The kitchen has wonderful metal countertops and a fantastic gas stove. Our bathroom has a double shower which is quite nice for the roominess. Unfortunately the water pressure is dismal, so two people showering at once is really not an option. house11
The neat study on the left and the not so neat study on the right. No prizes for guessing who resides in which.
