5/12-18 Bayview Street, Runaway Bay, QLD 4216

The Offer

This is an absolutely rare and surprising apartment with vacant possession for the next owner.

Rare in that it has windows on all four sides, capturing the natural light and gentle breeze, whatever the time of day, all year round.

It is surprising because the soaring ceiling height brings a sense of scale and drama. The distinguishing achievement, however, is the seamless combination of outstanding location, panoramic mountain views, and comforting privacy.

As a resounding testament to its undeniable attraction, this was once the home of supercar champion and racing legend Shane Van Gisbergen. As the only residence on the top floor of a building containing just five apartments (there are four buildings in total and just 28 apartments), this is a secluded sanctuary that remains connected to the abundance of nearby natural features and, of course, the sublime mountain views.

It is immediately apparent that this is an airy, bright, and cool space. The sensible and interesting layout includes the main living space, which incorporates a galley kitchen with a Juliette balcony overlooking the sleek, minimalist pool area. Stone counters, stainless appliances, and connectivity to the dining/living area make the entire space feel inclusive.

The living space extends outside to a large, protected balcony that offers a glimpse of the water and an indulgent view of the Hinterland Mountain range.

Adjoined by a connecting corridor are the 3 amply proportioned bedrooms, all with built-in, mirrored wardrobes. A large master suite is cleverly tucked out of sight, with its own private bathroom, freestanding shower, and his and her basins on a long stone vanity counter. The main guest bedroom has its own access to the protected balcony, and the other guest bedroom has a prime north-facing aspect, ensuring bright natural light all day long.

The apartment also has secure side-by-side basement parking for two vehicles.

Icing on the Cake

The joy of living here is hard to adequately capture in words alone - feelings do a far better job. The feeling of convenience, of freedom, of privacy, of cooling breezes, and natural sunlight - it is the feeling of satisfaction and contentment that can only be expressed intuitively, mindfully.
