The Space:
Three levels, sea views from every one, and a lift to carry you (and the beach bags) between them. This northwest-facing townhouse is built around the view, with floor-to-ceiling stacking doors at the front and back of the main living level and decks on all three floors.
THE LAYOUT
The home is arranged over three levels, connected by a lift and internal stairs. The lift serves all three levels, including the garage.

- Middle floor: open-plan kitchen, dining and living with sea views and a gas fireplace, a powder room, and a bedroom with its own private deck.
- Upper floor: the master suite with a private lounge, ensuite with a deep soaking tub and walk-in wardrobe
THE VIEW & OUTDOOR LIVING
Open the stacking doors at both ends of the living level and the whole floor becomes indoor-outdoor. Decks and balconies on every level face the sea, and the ground-floor courtyard catches the sun. Enjoy BBQs and afternoon drinks with midday to afternoon sun.
LIVING & KITCHEN
The kitchen sits at the centre of the main living level, with dining and lounge around it and the sea beyond. Downstairs, the media room gives a second space to spread out – handy for families with teenagers or a group wanting a quiet corner.
