Bayside living at its best
Offering a mix of absolute beachfront and an easy walk to one of Adelaide’s premier retail and restaurant strips, this Marina Pier apartment has it all.
Enjoy breakfast and the morning sun from your marina terrace and dinner and spectacular sunsets from your ocean terrace in this fourth-floor apartment located within the prestigious Marina Pier complex.
On the market for the first time since it was initially sold in 2000, the three-bedroom Holdfast Promenade apartment is designed for comfortable living and entertaining. Two independent living areas showcase either the ocean views, or city, marina and hills views to the east, and open out to two generous terrace balconies.
The vendor says the “magnificent views” are what attracted her and her husband to the property more than two decades ago – and they still haven’t worn thin.
“If you’re sitting on the lounge and looking out, you could be on a ship because you can’t see land,” she says. “You can’t actually see the beach until you stand – all you can see is the water, so that’s a rather nice view.
“And if you’re standing in the lounge you’ve got a view to either the ocean or the marina. There’s very few with that particular layout.”
The “incredibly quiet” apartment has a centrally-located kitchen with granite benchtops and a breakfast bar.
There are three bedrooms, including a spacious master bedroom that provides the sweeping ocean views.
This bedroom is complete with a large ensuite and extensive wardrobe space, as well as access to the main balcony.
A third balcony, that overlooks the marina and Adelaide hills, is accessible from one of the minor bedrooms, which also boasts a study alcove and built-in robes.
Another bedroom boasts marina and coastal views to the north and more built-in robes.
Other standout features are the property’s “absolute” beachfront location, close to iconic Jetty Rd – and its range of restaurant and retail options – nearby reserves and other attractions.
“It’s only a few minutes to Jetty Rd and there are all the restaurants downstairs, so there’s always something happening,” the vendor, who is downsizing to an eastern suburbs retirement home, says.
“It’s a lovely lifestyle – and it’s only a few steps and you’re on the beach.
“Everything’s at your fingertips and of course, the tram is also close by, which means you can easily get into the city.
Price: $1.9 million to $2.08m.
