Live very large in Oriental Bay
TENDERS CLOSE on August 16 for a spacious and stylish three-bedroom apartment in Oriental Bay with stunning views, an all-weather deck and three undercover car parks.
The 260-square-metre residence, at 5/166 Oriental Pde, is one of only 14 apartments in the building and shares the third level with one other. The front door is to the right of the lift, which opens to a landing with atrium-style glazing to showcase the sublime beach, inner harbour and city views.
Both the large living/dining area and opulent main bedroom suite open to a broad, tiled internal balcony that extends along the apartment’s frontage and enjoys an intimate connection with the parade while preserving privacy.
The apartment has zoned underfloor heating throughout as well as a feature gas fireplace for ambience in the living/dining area, which is openplan with the new German kitchen. It includes an extra-wide underbench oven, five-burner hob, rangehood, dishwasher and an island with a breakfast bar.
At the rear of the apartment are a bedroom wing and a TV room. The latter has double doors off the living/dining area, so it can be opened up as a space for entertaining, and built-in cabinetry for audio-video equipment, books and physical media.
The two double-bedrooms share a bathroom with timber panelling, double-shower, vanity and toilet; the ensuite for the main bedroom has a deep bath, shower cabinet, dual-basin vanity and toilet.
Also in the bedroom wing are a study, which could be a fourth bedroom, a walk-in linen cupboard and a separate laundry.
‘‘This is an exceptionally large apartment in an Oriental Bay location prized for its sun, views and proximity to the city,’’ says Rob Butler, of Ray White, who’s marketing it with Lloyd Wills.
‘‘It’s immaculately presented, offers excellent internal storage as well as a storage locker, and within the last five years has been fully redecorated and recarpeted.
‘‘It also stands out for having three car parks, good natural light, and gas cooking and heating, which are rare for an Oriental Bay apartment.’’
The property is expected to sell for above $2.5 million.
