APARTMENTS in the Eastern suburbs are still continuing to perform above expectatio­ns despite a slowing market. A new luxury apartment in Coogee (South East of Sydney) that overlooks the Pacific Ocean is set to go under the hammer for $1.8m ($F2.8m) - much higher compared to the median property price of $1.392m ($F2.19m) for units in the area.

Brought to market by Ray White agents Nicholas Wise and Tom Fuller, the two bedroom, one bathroom apartment of 34/23 Baden St offers stunning 180-degree ocean views and is fully renovated with an organic palette of materials.

“Although there’s been a slight softening in the market recently, there has been a number of good performanc­e property such as this apartment,” said Mr Wise.

“The view that this apartment offers over Clovelly and Bondi makes it unique - its north-east aspect adds a lot of value to the property.”

For vendors Nathan and Monisha AveryWilli­ams, the sale of their Coogee property is a bitterswee­t one.

Monisha moved into the property back in 2014 and her husband moved in with her six

– years later.

Now the couple are set to move to Paddington in a bid to up-size their home.

“I’ve loved it here, the view was definitely a major upside for me — it didn’t matter what sort of day I had, the view would always cheer me up,” said Mrs Avery-Williams.

“We’re on the highest floor of this apartment building, so it’s been a nice and quiet retreat away from the busy streets. We’ve gotten to know our neighbours very well, so this will be a very sentimenta­l sale for us.”

Features of the apartment include two double bedrooms with built in wardrobes and custom pivot doors, bi-fold doors to the balcony, a stone kitchen and bathroom, aged brass hardware and a lock-up garage.

Apartments like the Coogee home are becoming increasing­ly popular amongst buyers as they offer amenities that alleviate the stress of working from home.

In the case of 34/23 Baden St, these amenities include landscaped gardens that lead out to a sunny pool and BBQ terrace area.

The home will go under the hammer on April 30 at 11am unless sold prior.
