Overview

Understated Elegance, Absolute Waterfront

Positioned within Cairns' premier on-water address - Harbour Lights - Number 12 offers an exceptional standard of living, unmatched convenience and sweeping water views in the heart of the Cairns CBD. The last waterfront development to be completed in the Cairns CBD, Harbour Lights was designed from the first to offer the best in luxury living. Using that as a base, the owners of Number 12 have taken it further in every way. Chosen for its position looking out over the water - a vista that greets you from your front door - this east facing home enjoys a stunning sunrise, with the full width balcony offering views from Walsh's Pyramid to the south, through to the Pier, Marina, and out to Green Island. Virtually every surface has been upgraded from the original plans - Italian tiles for the flooring, exotic timber skirtings, remote control blinds, and a brand-new 70k showstopper kitchen with induction cooktop, mirrored splashback, integrated appliances and the coffee station of your (definitely my) dreams. Befitting the calibre of the home, the layout is eminently practical - central living is tasteful and usable, with custom cabinetry for added storage and an abundance of natural light from floor to ceiling glass sliding doors and windows. The master suite is private, with walk-through robe, ensuite and direct balcony access, whilst both other bedrooms enjoy built-ins, with an attractive main bathroom. Everything has been immaculately maintained, as number 12 has only been lived in on a full time basis for 3 years since being built, and this is truly a move-in-ready prospect with nothing to do but enjoy. Stepping beyond your front door, this home is unique within Harbour Lights for the inclusion of 3 adjoining storage rooms that have been merged into one of the largest in the complex, located directly adjacent to the apartment. With storage at a premium in any apartment, this is absolute luxury, with lighting and power to provide space for a workshop, wine fridges and chest freezers, bikes, fishing equipment - even a surfboard! This is an extra you just don't find in apartment living. Set above world class restaurants and adjacent to the Cairns Reef Cruiser terminal, you are within walking distance to the Cairns Esplanade, Marina, Cairns Central and CBD, and just 10 minutes from both domestic and international airports. Inspections are welcome, by appointment. Contact Tom Quaid to make it yours.
