Last Listing description (March 2023)

With panoramic water and mountain views from the moment you walk in the door, Number 12 at Harbour Lights offers an exceptional level of finish and position in arguably Cairns' best waterfront address.

The central kitchen is spacious, custom designed and immaculate, with European appliances, stone benchtops, plenty of storage and enjoying spectacular views - naturally!

Imported Italian tiles grace living the floors throughout, set perfectly against a light-grain timber cabinetry that has been custom fitted throughout. Remote control blinds provide additional luxury for those that prefer a later start, though with the sun rising over the mountains in the morning and the vantage point on offer, its worth waking up early.

Remote control blinds provide additional luxury for those that prefer a later start, though with the sun rising over the mountains in the morning and the vantage point on offer, its worth waking up early.

All three bedrooms are well proportioned, with the two front rooms both ensuited and enjoying their own access to the balcony which runs the full width of the home. There are built-in robes to every room, with the master bedroom's walk-through particularly special.

As incredible as you might find the interior, its outdoors that this apartment really shines, giving you room to entertain, relax or just enjoy your morning coffee (or evening wine) as you watch the boats come and go from the marina. The hardest choice is where to dine, with some of Cairns' finest dining literally at your feet.

This apartment includes 2 allocated and secure car spaces, as well as an enormous (and unique) storage unit DIRECTLY ADJACENT to the apartment. An amalgamation of three separate storage titles into a single space, this unique configuration provides extensive additional storage for the apartment in a convenient location. Bikes, tools, wine fridge, chest freezers, fishing gear, the lot this is the one to have.

The perfect waterfront residence, whether full time or with the seasons, the property can be lived in full time, rented or offered for short term accommodation (AirBnB etc.).
Furnished as presented.
