Right on the waterfront and with panoramic views of the bay, this property is well ahead in terms of desirability. Factor in space galore and smart, classy appointments and this rendered beauty on about 742 square metres goes up a further notch.

Glossy floor tiles, a timber-tread staircase and clever staggering of space in the entry hall/foyer sets the tone for the rest of the house, which has a luxurious feel.

Seven principal rooms include lots of space for living, dining and entertainment, while the kitchen has all the mod-cons.

Three of the four bedrooms are lavishly treated to an en suite – this is the type of house where guests feel amazingly pampered. Upstairs, a family living room has access to a large balcony to enjoy the parade of passing ships and other marine activities. There’s also an in-ground pool and outdoor entertainment area for permanent enjoyment.

The final perk: a garage that can house four vehicles.
