183/132-138 Killeaton Street, St Ives, NSW 2075

A truly rare and unique offering, this apartment will make you feel as though you're living on an Ivy League university campus. It's one of only two penthouse apartments positioned on the first and top floors of the historic 1937 building around which 'The Alcove' is centred.

A level manicured lawn stretches out before this stylish full brick Art Deco building, which was originally a monastery. Walk up the charming staircase, with its rich mahogany balustrade, to the front door. Then step into a house-like apartment that exudes contemporary elegance.

The long entrance hallway leads to an open plan entertaining space with timber floorboards, arched windows and a versatile enclosed balcony ideal as a sunroom, home office or 'winter garden'. It's beautifully presented, impeccably appointed, peaceful and private.

With an inviting indoor lap pool, spa, sauna and gym for residents only downstairs, these are resort-style facilities you'll definitely use. Socialise with your neighbours or keep fit with ease. Stroll to local shops and cafes in 10 minutes and St Ives Shopping Village in 15 minutes. Enjoy central convenience to top public and private schools, national parks and recreation.
