Owned and cherished for over 21 years, Levantwo was specially constructed to the owners’ requirements. Substantial modifications created a large sitting room opening onto an upper-deck roof garden. This floating home is full of warmth and character, providing a peaceful retreat close to all amenities.

• Upper roof protected by a single sheet of EPDM thus avoiding the possibility of leaks.

• Well-equipped kitchen for everyday living and entertaining
• Two comfortable bedrooms and bathroom with bath, shower, vanity basin & WC
