With an enviable hilltop position and sweeping ocean views across Palm Island, North Ward, Magnetic Island and Cleveland Bay, this spacious and very original two-bedroom apartment presents an exceptional opportunity for the next owner to modernise and personalise to their own style.
Positioned within one of Townsville's original resort-style complexes, Stanton Crest II, the apartment offers a larger floor plan than most other units in the complex, two secure car parks, an incredible outlook and lifestyle amenities rarely found in apartment living.
Located on the first level with convenient entry directly from the undercover car park, the fully air-conditioned apartment boasts an impressive 167m² under roof, making it the largest of the "Executive" floor plans in the complex's original design.
Designed with functionality in mind, both the master and second bedrooms are positioned on the seaward side of the apartment, each enjoying ocean views and direct access to the wrap-around verandahs. The master bedroom features a walk-in robe and private ensuite, while the second bedroom includes built-in robes and is serviced by a second bathroom conveniently located nearby.
The expansive open-plan living area also captures the stunning ocean outlook, flowing seamlessly through the dining space and kitchen before opening onto the front verandah. The unique wrap-around design provides what is effectively a 225-degree outlook, maximising views, natural light and cooling sea breezes.
The property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to add their own personal touch. The carpets and internal paint would benefit from updating, allowing the new owner to select colours and finishes that reflect their own style.
Both bathrooms are full-sized and fully functional, providing the convenience of comfortable day-to-day living while any future improvements are planned or undertaken.
Two secure undercover car parks - a rare feature for inner-city apartment living - provide easy and secure access to the unit.
Beyond the apartment itself, Stanton Crest offers an outstanding lifestyle with resort-style facilities including a large swimming pool with barbeque area, tennis court, gymnasium and sauna, along with ample visitor parking, all set amongst beautifully manicured gardens and lawns.
In addition to the expansive outlook, the apartment enjoys beautiful sunrise and sunset views. The orientation of the building, together with the neighbouring wall and veranda design, provides excellent protection from the afternoon westerly sun, ensuring year-round comfort. From the balcony, owners can also enjoy watching local bird life and butterflies attracted by the surrounding native flora, adding to the relaxed and natural ambience.
The complex is further enhanced by the inclusion of an emergency generator, a feature that has proven invaluable during the rare occasions of extended power outages.
Comfortable as it is today, the apartment offers an exciting opportunity to refresh and create a coastal home perfectly suited to your own taste and lifestyle.
