Positioned on the 17th floor of the iconic Oaks Elan Darwin at 31 Woods Street, apartment 1706 is the highest one-bedroom apartment in the building.
Enjoy sweeping panoramic views across Darwin's Inner Harbour and Frances Bay, with Charles Darwin National Park providing a striking backdrop. Watch the sun rise behind the national park, while the elevated 180-degree outlook also extends towards Mindil Beach, Fannie Bay, East Point, Nightcliff and Casuarina in the distance.
Unlike many other apartments in the building, this residence has benefited from a series of thoughtful updates by its current owner, adding contemporary touches and a refreshed finish.
With vacant possession available, buyers can move straight in, enjoy the city lifestyle or explore the apartment's potential as a long-term rental or short-stay investment.
Restaurants, shopping, entertainment, Mitchell Street and the Darwin Waterfront Precinct are all within easy walking distance. Residents also have access to Oaks Elan Darwin's facilities, including 24-hour reception, secure lobby access, an on-site café and restaurant, a fully equipped gym and an outdoor swimming pool.
The Apartment Elevated Living
Offering approximately 84m² under title, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment features an open-plan living and dining area flowing onto a spacious balcony.
The balcony is an ideal spot to enjoy Darwin's spectacular sunrises over the harbour or sit down for breakfast while taking in the panoramic views. By around lunchtime, the sun moves over the building, leaving the balcony shaded and helping keep it cooler and more comfortable for relaxing in the afternoon or entertaining guests in the evening.
Inside, the apartment features a contemporary kitchen with dishwasher and ample cupboard storage, a generously sized bedroom, a functional bathroom with internal laundry facilities, and full tiling and air-conditioning throughout.
Thoughtful Owner Updates A Point of Difference
The current owner has completed several considered improvements, giving the apartment a more contemporary feel and distinguishing it from many other residences in the building.
Upgraded downlights enhancing the lighting and overall presentation
Plantation shutters in the bedroom providing a stylish decorative finish
Sleek black cupboard handles adding a modern accent to the kitchen cabinetry
Black kitchen tapware complementing the kitchen with a contemporary finish
These improvements provide attractive finishing touches already completed for the next owner to enjoy.
Owner-Occupier Enjoy the CBD Lifestyle
With vacant possession, you can move straight in and enjoy a low-maintenance city residence without the upkeep of a traditional house. The central location, secure building access and on-site facilities also make it a practical lock-and-leave option for professionals, downsizers and frequent travellers.
