Communal Pool
Ridgeway is a block of low rise residential apartments that form part of a complex together with Cloudlands on Plantation Road. Formally reserved for high ranking HSBC employees the units have recently come on the public market exclusively for lease.
Located on a summit behind Peak School the complex was completed in 1974 and comprises 6 units each spanning 3300 square feet of livable space. The apartment comprises a huge living room with an open fireplace that leads to a separate formal dining room overlooking the spacious and expansive balcony with fabulous 180-degree harbor views. The views are probably one of the nicest I have seen since its completely uninterrupted thanks to the apartment’s location.
Just across for the living room is a huge kitchen with island. The kitchen has been finished in neutral tones and the size can easily compete with any American Home with a separate coffee station, huge utility and laundry area and two helpers quarters.
As you walk down the long hallway you are greeted by the first of 4 bedrooms, this one semi attached to a full bath. The bedroom has 2 doors so you are able to close the bedroom off and share the bathroom with another bedroom across the hallway. Another two en-suite bedrooms are at the end of the hallway with the Master Suite comprising of a separate walk in closet and luxurious bathroom. The bedrooms are expansive with 2.5 meter high ceilings and either overlook the harbor or communal swimming pool which is for the exclusive use of the residents.
