Enormous character beachside apartment

Last minute deal: Stay before 2 Jun 2012 for 15% off

Description

This enormous two storey apartment is on the first floor of a ninety-year old character block of four, at the beach end of Curlewis St, adjacent to a number of cafes and bars and only a three and a half minute walk from the sand of Bondi Beach.

The apartment has been totally transformed with a New York style contemporary renovation, which included the opening up of the internal space to let in more air and light, new kitchen and bathrooms. The original property has been expanded with a massive attic bedroom and the addition of a sundeck. While retaining the charm that has delighted previous visitors, the renovation has brought comfort and convenience up to contemporary expectations.

The apartment has been furnished and decorated to simply yet elegantly capture the essence of informal beachside living. With soaring ceilings, wide staircases and grand proportions, it harks back to Bondi's stylish origins in the early 20th century.

There is a private entrance foyer at the side of the building. Behind the door is a wide staircase which winds up to arrive in the middle of the enormous open-plan living area. To the right is the kitchen which incorporates a dining table for eight and opens onto a tiled north facing sunroom. To the left is the living room, with two comfortable lounges, one of which doubles as a sofa bed for excess guests. The dominant feature in this space is a 1.6m gas fireplace.

There are four bedrooms in total. Accommodation on the main level consists of a large master bedroom with an ensuite and the world's most comfortable king size bed, a second bedroom with queen size bed and a third large room with another two single beds which can be joined together when required to make another very comfortable king size bed. Upstairs is the fourth bedroom which occupies the entire (40m2) attic space and boasts a queen size bed and a single bed for extra guests when required. Crisp white linen is provided on all beds.

For short stays only and for an extra $25 per person per night, it is possible to sleep two more guests on the fold out sofa bed in the lounge room

The main bathroom and ensuite are both small, functional and ultra modern. The ensuite also houses a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The interior of the apartment is spacious, modern and comfortable while retaining abundant character with eclectic furniture and an interesting array of items picked up by the owners on their travels. There is high-speed wireless internet, a wide screen digital TV with blueray player, a stereo player with radio/CD/MP3, an amazing selection of design magazines and a choice of areas to sit and chat or lie around and read. The re-design of the apartment has maximised the living areas, which very comfortably accommodate 8-9 guests.

If you want a break from Bondi's wide choice of cafes and restaurants, the kitchen is fully equipped including a dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave and gigantic free standing gas/electric range with double oven. There is one free secure parking space available for guests use and metered on- street parking in front of the building for additional vehicles.

Its one kilometre stretch of sand can be covered by up to 40,000 people at one time. Bondi Beach is unique. It has a life and personality that reflects its diverse population. From local surfers, to young people who live in Bondi, to backpackers from all over the world, to multi-cultural communities, Bondi has it all. In summer, the beach becomes the playground for families. Bondi offers beautiful coastal walks, white sand, crowded surf, and lazy days.
