Built in glorious Renaissance style, this exclusive development at the heart of our international coastal city has created dynamic, luxury homes which embrace the history of this unique building whilst celebrating the best that the 21st century has to offer.

Through a spectacular, tiled hallway with an original hand laid Terrazzo floor, majestic marble panels and sweeping staircases, this apartment is on the lower floor of the Technical College where natural light was of prime importance -so this spacious home has plenty of it. At the end of a hushed passageway, it is close to atmospheric stone steps to the large communal gardens, expertly landscaped to offer sun or shade. A social hub where neighbours say hello, so you won’t feel isolated if you are new to the city, there is also plenty of space for glamorous al fresco entertaining as it is the perfect location for friends to gather before walking over – or along- the Level to all our legendary coastal city has to offer.

Inside this sleek apartment, dynamic design begins in the hallway where discreet, organised storage is also deep, so storage should not become an issue. Ahead, a sociable living space basks in soft sunlight and stretches a glorious 20.7 feet (6.304m)- approx.- ahead. Open plan living at its most sophisticated, an arched window at the far end rises to a ceiling which soars to 3.15m at its full height, and it opens to a secret patio – like gold dust in this sought after complex. Outside has plenty of space for a table and chairs and the high walls shelter it from sight of the main gardens above. Inside invites company with clean lines and a choice of lighting levels, and the high spec kitchen is tucked away from the in/out flow and is good to go with streamlined units topped by plentiful practical working surfaces. Integrated appliances include a touch induction hob and oven beneath a Zanussi hood, there is designated space for a tall fridge freezer and plumbing is in place for a washing machine.

Quiet, comfortable and seriously stylish, the dreamy double bedroom also has a majestic, arched window to frame the secluded patio, so it is a light and airy refuge which is not directly overlooked. Fuss free with good quality carpet it is a restful retreat free from traffic noise and next door the contemporary bathroom effortlessly serves your every need with a shower attachment on the bath, but it may ignite your inner designer if you want to ramp up the glamour and add value over time…

Agent says:

“Full of light and ready to move into, this spacious apartment brings sophisticated city living to the coast.”

Owner’s secret:

“Light and airy in the summer and a warm, welcoming refuge during winter we’ve loved the space here which is ideal for quiet relaxation or entertaining. We have enjoyed the choice between being sociable in the gardens – where people always say hello- and having a private supper after work on the patio and you’ll sleep well in the peaceful bedroom! This beautiful building has stories to tell of it rich history, and our friendly porter can tell you most of them (as well as take deliveries and sort out any problems like leaks when you’re away) but you’re right at the heart of a very vibrant city with a lot to offer on the doorstep.”
