18/86-88 Beach Road, Sandringham VIC 3191

Superbly serene in a sea-breeze position, this two bedroom apartment is a rare beachfront oasis overlooking the quiet internal garden of the tightly-held Nautica group. Opening up at street level, before stretching deep with a sun-filled open-plan, this sea-breeze sanctuary steps out with an unexpected balcony outlook over the group's lush central gardens. Immensely private with a balcony outlook through louvered windows and glass-doors to the lush green surrounds beyond, this light-filled design adds to privacy with bedrooms zoned privately either side of the living zone.

Showcasing the signature quality of this in-demand group with an entertaining European appliance kitchen fronted by a wide waterfall-edge dining-bench, this impressive apartment stars a spacious bathroom, and a functional separate European laundry. Reverse-cycle air-conditioned with cool stone benchtops, freshly polished warm timber floors, quality carpets and tall built-in robes, there's a warm focus with a rare decorative fireplace plus panel heating, and the added privacy of block-out blinds.

Secured by video-intercom and basement garaging plus excellent visitor parking, this beachfront oasis is so central to it all; with the bay out in front, Trevor Barker Oval and the Yacht Club across the road, almost equally close to Hampton St's latte strip and Sandringham's shopping village, and a dash to the closest station for an easy 29 minute CBD commute.
