Summary: Under Offer: A Rare and Exclusive Sanctuary Boasting a Huge 238 Square Metre Whole Floor Apartment
Description: I am delighted to offer this magnificent 238 square metre three bedroom apartment in one of Sydney's most boutique developments designed by the renowned architect Ercole Palazzetti with just twenty whole floor apartments. For buyers who crave large spaces and fabulous views then "The Georgia" will be your perfect new home. The position offers the best of both worlds, easy access to some of the finest restaurants at Barangaroo and close to Sydney CBD. It has a great sized easterly terrace so should you throw a New Year's Eve Party; every guest will have a great vantage point for the fireworks. Located at the northern end of Sydney CBD the triple aspect apartment is situated on the twenty-first floor and benefits from iconic easterly views towards the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour. The westerly views are just as dramatic with the stunning Barangaroo skyline including Crown Residences and Three International Towers. It comprises a generous 238 square metre floor plan with direct lift access into your own private lobby. The vast 13 metre living areas offer well defined lounge and dining areas with two balconies for excellent cross ventilation and lots of natural light. There is an open plan kitchen with granite benchtops and Gaggenau appliances. There is a substantial 6 metre master bedroom suite with an abundance of wardrobes and en-suite bathroom with access on to a private terrace. Positioned on the eastern side of the building it benefits from wonderful Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Harbour views. On the western wing there is bedroom two, with built in wardrobes and en-suite bathroom, bedroom three comes with built in wardrobes, plus there is a family bathroom and separate laundry that completes this breathtaking home. Further benefits include video intercom, concierge, communal heated pool and gymnasium. There are two secure parking spaces which measure 29 square metres that brings the total on title to an impressive 267 square metres. The Georgia boasts an exemplary location being close to Sydney landmarks and transport hubs. According to Google Maps "The Georgia" is 450 metres to Wynyard Station, 600 metres to Barangaroo Wharf 1 and 900 metres to Circular Quay Light Rail Station. It is 550 metres to Crown Sydney, 800 metres to GPO Sydney, Martin Place and just 550 metres to Nawi Cove being the start of the open green spaces of Barangaroo Reserve. Due to the size of this boutique development apartments rarely come up for sale, therefore I highly recommend an early inspection by private appointment only.
