A cohesive complex, grounded in down-to-earth simplicity and sophistication: "Ingenious", "like an artwork"… "it's got everything". The main dwelling includes two bedrooms with built in robes and a mezzanine that could be used as a third bedroom. The Master bedroom opens to an exotic pot-plant garden in private northern courtyard. One well designed bathroom, separate toilet and laundry, featuring floor to ceiling Japanese tiles. Double storied living space with ceilings reaching over five metres and an expansive view south.

The multipurpose studio provides 55m2 space to work, play and park a car with access via shared driveway. Easily divided, a spacious separate room could emerge. Both buildings are fully insulated with excellent airflow capacity. Fans and dual blinds installed throughout. A magnificent rooftop garden feasts the eye. A 'concept bridge' connects the two buildings, enabling access to the rooftop-deck/garden from the main dwelling's back deck. Abel is a quiet, treelined street in inner city Newcastle.
