About this place
Located on the top floor, the property offers a sense of privacy and elevation that is hard to find. The current layout is spacious but awaits a modern touch to bring it up to contemporary standards.The 101 sqm area includes a separate living/dining room, a functional kitchen, a full bathroom, and a large bedroom. The "bones" of the apartment allow for a complete aesthetic overhaul—from flooring and cabinetry to a modern bathroom redesign—allowing the new owner to move away from the original decor.The standout feature is the terrace with a built-in BBQ. Uniquely accessible from both the bedroom and the living room, this outdoor space is the apartment's greatest asset, offering the perfect footprint for a high-end lounge and dining area.Pine Cliffs Resort: A World-Class DestinationLiving in Pine Cliffs is not just about the property; it is about the lifestyle of one of Europe’s most prestigious, award-winning luxury resorts.
