AWARD-WINNING. HOUSE-SIZED. UNFORGETTABLE.

Some apartments are simply a place to live. This one is a statement.

Set within one of the most decorated residential buildings on the Gold Coast - a genuine multi-award-winner recognised at national, state and regional level - this is a residence that was never built to be ordinary. From the moment you step inside, the quality speaks for itself. Immaculate presentation, a sense of security and ease that's rare to find, and a floorplan so generous it lives like a house in the sky.

The main living area stretches across almost the entire floor, the kitchen anchoring the space at its heart, before opening seamlessly onto an expansive balcony that turns entertaining into an art form. Watch the sunrise over the Gold Coast skyline with your morning coffee. Host friends on a Saturday night as the Gold Coast skyline lights up for fireworks during the city's biggest events. This is an apartment that has been lived in, loved, and used exactly as it was designed to be - for making memories with the people who matter most.

Every inch has been considered. A full repaint and new carpet throughout set the stage for a custom-built home office with stone benchtop, and a dedicated bar area complete with wine and beverage fridges - built for hosting in style. Full home automation puts lighting, blinds and balcony screens at your fingertips, while Samsung Frame TVs throughout double as living artwork. Behind the walls, a full network upgrade delivers blistering 1GB/second internet - because a residence at this level should never compromise on how you live and work.

The kitchen is finished with Miele appliances and a gas cooktop, complemented by an integrated fridge for a seamless look. Ducted air conditioning - with an ultra-economical 3-phase unit to the living area and independent zone control to every bedroom - keeps the entire apartment perfectly comfortable, year-round. Double glazing throughout delivers a level of quiet that has to be experienced to be believed, especially given the surrounding infrastructure. Add electric blinds, iPad wall controllers, and over-bonnet storage across two of the three secure car bays, and every practical box is ticked before you even consider the lifestyle on offer.

And that lifestyle is hard to beat. A central Benowa location just 15 minutes to the beach, with an enviable range of amenities on the doorstep, plus resort-style shared pool facilities within the complex.
