16, 87 Manning Street, Kiama

One of the main attractions of a seachange is swapping city living for a more leisurely pace. This isn't just sitting on your sundrenched balcony admiring direct ocean views: it's about discovering a new lifestyle.

Luckily, this home combines the best of both worlds. From the beach to the ocean-view balcony, this home offers a perfect coastal lifestyle, situated directly across the road from iconic Surf Beach.

As far as apartment living goes, you really can't beat home. This top-level apartment is slightly set back from the boundary, which offers wonderful privacy with no adjoining balconies. It is bathed in natural light from the front to the rear of the property, so you always have sunlight and a beautiful vista to admire from morning to evening. Immense vaulted high clearance ceilings, with dramatic floor to ceiling windows, create a beautiful atrium-like effect. This is complimented by a large covered balcony, which makes the perfect space to entertain family and guests in style.

Designed for modern convenience and simplicity, the apartment was enhanced by a complete renovation in 2016. Fresh paint throughout, modern flooring and timber feature wall paneling lift the sense of space and light. The new kitchen is a chef's delight: with Electrolux gas cooktop and oven, Bosch dishwasher and seamless Caesar Stone benchtops. The immaculately renovated main bathroom and ensuite complete the contemporary style of the apartment.

Accessibility isn't an issue with security access, basement parking, lift access and the convenience of single-level, flow-through spaces, which makes liability a breeze.

Leave the car in the lockup double garage, you simply won't need it. Instead you can simply take a short stroll across the park to the weekly Farmer's Markets or enjoy a variety of local cafés, boutique shops and contemporary restaurants. In the morning you can enjoy a refreshing morning swim, or simply relax and read the paper on your balcony, overlooking the sand and the surf, as you listen to the waves rolling onto the beach.

This property is the perfect choice for retirees who are downsizing, Sydney buyer's searching for a weekend retreat, or a highly sought-after holiday rental property due to its location, size and layout.
