Freshly updated and wonderfully practical, this three-bedroom apartment offers a rare combination of space, outdoor liveability and low-maintenance living. It feels less like an apartment and more like a genuine house alternative.
For downsizers, this is an opportunity to simplify without compromise. The proportions are generous, the outdoor spaces are relaxing and the private street access creates a sense of independence seldom found in apartment living.
Positioned just 200 metres from the Broadwater, this boutique complex sits within one of Runaway Bay's most desirable pockets. Buyers continue to gravitate toward smaller, well-managed buildings where quality of living and long-term enjoyment often exceed that offered by larger developments.
Convenient boating access, walkability and proximity to shopping and dining continue to underpin Runaway Bay's enduring appeal, particularly as buyers increasingly look north for value relative to the beachfront suburbs.

Icing on the Cake
The irony of downsizing is that many buyers expect compromise. Yet homes like this quietly challenge that assumption. In a market increasingly dominated by density and reduced proportions, generous apartments within walking distance of the Broadwater are becoming increasingly difficult to replace.
