Last Listing description (February 2026)

Just 400 metres from the sand and surf, this address doesn't just promise a coastal lifestyle, it lives it. Mornings start with a towel over your shoulder and a salt-water swim at Bar Beach or Dixon Park. Coffee is a short wander away at Sunnyboy Kiosk or Akuna, and by afternoon the day naturally drifts toward Darby Street or The Junction, where long lunches turn into sunset drinks and unplanned dinners at local favourites like the Beach Hotel or Modus Brewery. It's the kind of location where the car stays parked and life happens on foot.

Set quietly at the rear of a boutique complex of just six, this ground-floor apartment soaks up northerly light and carries an easy, coastal calm throughout. Timber floors and a neutral palette create a relaxed base, the kitchen's breakfast bar suits slow mornings and easy meals, and two robed bedrooms with new carpet sit privately away from the living space. A secure garage with access from Buchanan Street completes a low-maintenance beachside retreat or a rock-solid investment.
