Mare Street, Hackney, London

The Home -

This two-bedroom flat has been the subject of a carefully considered renovation in recent years. Thoughtfully executed by the current owner, its living spaces beam with natural light and a tasteful colour palette throughout compliments the interior. The apartment has far reaching views and is situated in the heart of Hackney Central, with its excellent shops, cafés, and restaurants.

The Indoors -

This apartment lies on the second floor, and makes excellent use of its end of terrace position. Entry is to a hallway, there is storage for coats and shoes. Notably high ceilings and laminate flooring leads the way to the open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, which occupies the rear of the plan.

The kitchen extends along two walls and separates the room perfectly, made up of smart cabinetry, light grey doors and worktops. The room has a warm cosy feel and is flooded with natural light through the dual aspect windows. There is ample space for living and dining with an additional area for designated all important storage.

At the front of the space is the main bedroom with laminate flooring underfoot and ample room for storage. Three generous windows allow light to flood the room whilst secondary glazing assists with sound proofing. The second bedroom offers the perfect space to use either as a home office or guest room with leafy views over St Johns Church. A beautiful mix of contemporary and traditional design, the bathroom has been decorated with white metro style tiles and offers a separate shower and built in bath.

Loving The Location -
