Bayside life at its best

First on the market since it was first sold in 2000, the three-bedroom Holdfast Promenade apartment is designed for comfortable living and entertaining. Two separate living areas open onto two spacious terrace balconies with ocean or city, marina and eastern hill views.

The seller says it was the “magnificent view” that attracted her and her husband to the property more than 20 years ago.

“If you sit in the lounge and look out, you can’t see land, so you could be on a boat,” she says. “You can’t see the beach until you actually stand there. All you can see is the ocean, so it’s a pretty good view.

“Standing in the lounge gives you a view of the ocean or the marina. Few have that particular layout.”

The “incredibly quiet” apartment has a centrally located kitchen with granite bench tops and breakfast bar.

There are 3 bedrooms including a spacious master bedroom with sweeping ocean views.

This bedroom has a large en-suite bathroom, ample wardrobe space and access to the main balcony.

A third balcony overlooking the marina and Adelaide hills is accessed from one of the minor bedrooms with a study alcove and built-in robes.

Another bedroom has northern marina and coastal views and more built-in robes.

Other distinguishing features are the property’s “absolute” beachfront location, close to the iconic Jetty Rd, with a variety of restaurants and retail outlets, and close proximity to the reserve and other attractions.

“With Jetty Rd just minutes away and all the restaurants downstairs, there’s always something going on,” says Bender, who’s shrinking into a retirement home in the eastern suburbs.

“It’s a nice lifestyle. Just a few steps and you’re at the beach.

“Everything is within reach and of course the trams are nearby so you can easily get around the city.

Price: $1.9M to $2.08M.
