Views to envy from coastal apartment

Coastline vistas stretch as far as the eye can see from this Main Beach apartment, which is on the market for the first time in 30 years

THE uninterrupted coastline view is the standout feature of this contemporary Main Beach apartment.

It was what attracted Simon and Pamela Jefferson to the Madison Point apartment complex before it was even built.

The couple were so confident the pristine position would remain relatively untouched that they bought 11/3478 Main Beach Pde off-the-plan about 30 years ago.

“Even if apartments got built around us, we couldn’t get built out because we have the river behind us and the sea in front of us, Mr Jefferson said.

They have renovated the property three times since buying it, even removing walls to make the most of the view.

“We’ve opened it up and it looks great,” Mr Jefferson said.

“As you come out of the lift, it’s really the view factor when you see the scenery around the apartment.”

It was a much-loved holiday home for the Jeffersons and their children, who are from Melbourne.

But as their visits to the Gold Coast became less frequent, they realised it was time to sell.

“We were very regular visitors up there, Mr Jefferson said. “We probably spent three months of the year up there when the children were young.”

The property is a short stroll to shops and restaurants.
