The contemporary kitchen has been designed with quality appliances and ample storage, plus bi-fold windows opening onto the sun deck creating an ideal servery for outdoor entertaining. At the top of the stairs, a generous area has been partially divided from the main living room enabling a semi-private study nook, whilst the bedrooms and bathroom are completely separated from this zone. The modern bathroom has quality fixtures and fittings, including a large shower and separate toilet, and the two double bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, the primary having beautiful views to both the mountain and towards Battery Point and the river. The entire apartment is double-glazed and has been decorated with neutral colours, creating a sense of calm and warmth: an ideal place to enjoy a relaxed lifestyle. A garage with a large storeroom at the rear completes the property.

Location is a major attraction, not only for the superb views and warm, sunny aspect, but also for its proximity to many facilities. It is approximately a 10 minute walk or a 4 minute drive to the Sandy Bay shopping complex with its supermarkets, specialty shops and businesses, cafes and restaurants, and medical services. The Hobart CBD is a mere 6 minute drive away, as are the attractions of Salamanca Place and the Hobart waterfront. With the Sandy Bay campus of UTAS, the Sandy Bay Bowls Club and the recreational water pursuits of Marieville Esplanade all nearby, this apartment is definitely in a prime position.
