Impeccably peaceful, and unbelievably pleasant, two easy ways to describe this wonderful property. The previous owners have called this apartment home for over 8 years and in that time, it has been nothing short of exceptional. Treated to the soft songs of daily bird life just beyond the large covered balcony, the esplanade tree canopy dancing in the breeze and the most desirable of lifestyles this property has afforded them, it's now time to offer the same to the next owner.

Filled with long term owner occupiers, The Nautilus on the Esplanade, is one of those rare developments with an incredibly low turn over, seen as a "forever address", its a complex that people wait years for the opportunity to buy into, additionally, it is this floor plan, the centre "02" apartments, that boast the longest tenure of the lot, with this apartment being the 1st centre apartment to come available in some 5 years.
