Just 400 metres from the sand and surf, this address doesn't just promise a coastal lifestyle — it truly delivers it. Mornings begin with a towel over your shoulder and a swim at Bar Beach or Dixon Park Beach. Coffee is a short wander away at Sunnyboy Kiosk or Akuna, while afternoons naturally drift toward Darby Street or The Junction for long lunches, relaxed dinners or sunset drinks at favourites such as Beach Hotel or Modus Brewery. It's the kind of location where the car stays parked and life happens on foot.

We are currently reviewing upgrades to include the installation of an air-conditioner, new roller blinds throughout, and painting and refreshing of the bathroom area.

Privately positioned at the rear of a boutique complex of just six, this ground-floor apartment enjoys beautiful northerly light and an easy coastal feel throughout. Timber floors and a soft neutral palette create a relaxed base, while the open-plan living area flows effortlessly into a practical kitchen complete with breakfast bar and electric cooking.

Two bedrooms are positioned privately away from the living zone, both featuring new carpet and built-in robes, with the main bedroom also offering a ceiling fan. The space-saving bathroom and laundry combination is functional and neat, and a single lock-up garage with access from Buchanan Street completes this low-maintenance beachside home.
