Set on the fifth floor of The Shores, 501/39 Head Street is all about location, water and flexibility. With Forster's coastline on one side, Wallis Lake nearby and the town centre within easy walking distance, this is an apartment that works equally well as a permanent home, coastal escape or investment.
The elevated position gives the apartment a wonderful connection to its surroundings. Large expanses of glass bring natural light into the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, while the extensive wraparound balconies provide different outlooks across Forster, with ocean and water views appearing from several points around the apartment.
With approximately 80m² of internal living complemented by around 70m² of balcony space, there is far more outdoor room than you might expect from an apartment. There is space to dine outside, stretch out with a book, enjoy an afternoon drink or simply follow the sun and breeze around the building.
Inside, the kitchen sits at the centre of the living space with generous bench space and storage, while the adjoining dining and lounge areas open directly onto the balcony. Air conditioning adds year-round comfort.
Both bedrooms are generous and include built-in wardrobes and direct balcony access. The main bedroom enjoys its own ensuite and broad outlook, while the second bathroom incorporates the laundry, keeping the layout practical and uncluttered.
Then there is the location.
Step outside and you are positioned between some of the best parts of Forster. Main Beach, the ocean baths, Wallis Lake, cafés, restaurants, shops and the town centre are all close by, making it easy to leave the car at home and enjoy the area on foot.
For an owner-occupier, it offers low-maintenance living without giving up space or outdoor areas. For an investor, the combination of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, parking and a central location provides broad permanent rental appeal. For those looking for a holiday property, the proximity to the beach, lake and town creates exactly the type of easy coastal base visitors look for, subject to applicable strata and short-term letting requirements.
