Sun, space and views in Roseneath

OFFERS above $1.65 million are invited for a Roseneath apartment that’s bigger than most homes with the bonus of a double garage and flat lawn.

The 268-square metre residence, at 24A Grafton Rd, is one of only three in the boutique development that overlooks the city and harbour, and which is only a few minutes’ walk from Oriental Bay.

Because it’s on the ground floor, it offers exceptional outdoor living for an apartment, with the living space and each of the three double-bedrooms opening to a sunny lawn and patio that extend along the northwest frontage. ‘‘The owners have loved living here and would take it to Melbourne if they could,’’ Kate Paterson, of Just Paterson Real Estate, says.

‘‘It’s exceptionally spacious for an apartment and is superbly positioned for wonderful sun and views.’’

A lift descends from the securitycoded entry foyer to the lobby of the single-level apartment.

Full-height double doors open into a versatile 75sqm living room with wall-to-wall double-glazing to maximise the view.

Another set of full-height doors lead to the spacious entertainers’ kitchen and dining area, which has bifolding doors to the patio for al fresco convenience.

The stylish kitchen has granite benchtops, two wall ovens, integrated microwave oven, fiveburner hob, rangehood, double DishDrawer dishwasher and refrigerator-freezer.

A hall leads to the bedroom wing, where the main bedroom combines sun and space with bifolding doors to the lawn and patio, a large walk-in wardrobe with drawers and shelving, and an opulent ensuite with a spa bath, shower, dual basin vanity and toilet.

The other bedrooms have builtin wardrobes and external doors while the tiled bathroom has a claw-foot bath, shower and vanity (the toilet is separate).

Other features include a large study or spare bedroom off the living room, a separate laundry and gas central heating.

‘‘This is an amazing modern apartment for families, entertainers and anyone who places a premium on sun, space and views,’’ Paterson says.

‘‘A gate to Lindum Terrace provides a shortcut to Oriental Bay and the city, it’s zoned for Wellington College, and you can even have pets here with your neighbours’ agreement.’’

The property has a rateable value of $1.82 million. 24A Grafton Rd, Roseneath.
