If you lived here...

You'll be enjoying an utterly enviable location but we'll get to that. For now let's focus on your 325 square foot lounge and kitchen combo. Smooth engineered hardwood flows underfoot, with your kitchen tucked away at one end, smooth glossy cabinets sat above and below chunky white countertops. Across from the kitchen, floor to ceiling patio doors open up to your balcony, a wonderfully tranquil spot, with a glass balustrade making the most of those glorious views over Hackney Downs Park.

Elsewhere, your principal bedroom's a 150 square foot affair with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the park, integrated wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. It's an impressively boutique affair that wouldn't look out of place in a five star hotel, with stroll-in rainfall shower cubicle backed with jet black vertical letterbox tilework. Your second bathroom's similarly styled and home to a tub, while your second bedroom is another double, giving out directly onto your balcony.

A word from the owner...

"The flat has been more than perfect for us over the years. We fell in love with the building at first sight, and it's been such a stress-free experience living here. As a young family, I can't really overestimate how amazing it is to have the park, playground, and brand-new school (which has been incredible for our kids) literally on our doorstep. I don't think many residential places have such a strong sense of community as the Otto building does, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The park is such a big factor for the property, it's so nice and quiet, yet vibrant in the summer months. It fills every room with light and a view that is always changing."
