There’s a segregated guest bedroom at the front of the home, while at the rear you’ll find an impressive kitchen with Siemens appliances, and an open-plan dining and lounge area.

This opens up through large bi-fold doors to an outdoor entertaining area with a built-in barbecue and an outdoor wood-burning fireplace.

The 88-square-metre floor plan of this waterfront apartment is almost doubled by the outdoor spaces, including a covered al fresco area with integrated heating and an outdoor kitchen, a terrace, and a balcony that spans the two bedrooms.

The bedrooms are fitted with built-in robes with the main bedroom enjoying a spacious en suite.

The property is conveniently located just a stone’s throw away from some of the capital’s best restaurants along the Kingston Foreshore.

Stepping through the front door of the home at 13 David Fleay Street is like taking a step into the future. 

This is how new homes should be built – minimalistic, with clean lines, premium finishes, state-of-the-art technology that makes living easier, walls of windows that embrace the natural light, clever feature lighting that accentuates the home’s brilliance, and elements that assist in relaxation. 

As society shifts towards a “less is more” attitude, this home responds with a design that embraces simplicity.

Shades of white, grey and black unfold across the contemporary interior, including polished concrete flooring, stone benchtops, floor-to-ceiling tiling in the wet areas and even a stone Bali bath. 

These cooler tones are harmonised by the beautifully landscaped gardens surrounding the home and captured in every room.

Among the greenery, you’ll find an array of ferns, established birds of paradise, ornamental grasses and some synthetic grass. 

Price guide: $1.75 million +
