3/18 Pinnacle Street, Miranda, NSW 2228

There is something very different about apartment living when you can step straight outside into your own private garden.

Positioned on the ground floor and surrounded by an impressive wraparound courtyard, this beautifully designed one-bedroom apartment offers an amount of outdoor space that is increasingly difficult to find, particularly in such a convenient Miranda location. With a combination of brick and tiled entertaining areas and a generous grassed yard, it has the ease and security of apartment living while giving you the space, privacy and outdoor lifestyle normally associated with a home.

The covered barbecue area creates a wonderful spot for entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors throughout the year, with the added practicality of a storage shed tucked underneath. For anyone with a four-legged member of the family, having this much private outdoor space is an enormous advantage, giving a dog room to wander outside without having to leave the apartment every time - something particularly hard to find in apartment living. (Pets subject to strata approval.)

Inside, the apartment feels contemporary, light and surprisingly spacious, with open-plan living and dining flowing naturally through to the courtyard and creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Reverse-cycle air conditioning provides year-round comfort, while the sleek kitchen features stone benchtops, gas cooking and generous storage, complemented by a large separate pantry providing an exceptional amount of additional storage and functionality.

The bedroom is equally impressive in size, with built-in wardrobes and its own sliding doors opening directly onto the courtyard, allowing you to wake up and step straight outside. The large contemporary bathroom features floor-to-ceiling tiles and quality fixtures, with an internal laundry adding to the practicality of the home.

With approximately 105sqm in total, there is a wonderful sense of space throughout the property. The apartment also includes a secure basement car space with its own additional storage area, lift access and security intercom, while the complex provides extensive undercover visitor parking - a real bonus when family and friends come to visit.

Residents also have access to a beautiful communal rooftop barbecue and entertaining area, providing another space to relax, entertain or simply enjoy some time outdoors without ever leaving the complex.

The location is another reason this apartment is so appealing. Westfield Miranda is approximately 600 metres away, with Miranda Station, local schools, TAFE and Sutherland Hospital all within easy reach. The neighbouring village of Gymea, with its cafés, restaurants, shops and train station, is just minutes away, while the wider Sutherland Shire lifestyle is right on your doorstep.

And when the weekend arrives, Cronulla's beaches, ocean pools, cafés and coastal lifestyle are only a short drive away, giving you the best of both worlds - incredible everyday convenience without sacrificing access to everything people love about living in the Shire.

Whether you are buying your first home, downsizing without wanting to give up your outdoor space, looking for somewhere your pet can enjoy a yard, or searching for an investment that offers something genuinely different from the typical apartment, this is a property that deserves to be seen.

It isn't simply the apartment that makes this one special - it's the space, the private outdoor living and a location that puts so much of the Shire within easy reach.
