404/88 Beach Street, Port Melbourne, Vic 3207

Directly opposite and overlooking the sands of Port Melbourne beach, just moments from Bay Street and grandly elevated within the tightly held ‘Anchorage’ building, this wonderfully crafted two bedroom, two bathroom apartment delivers the kind of bayside lifestyle that makes everyday life feel like a holiday. Offering more space and more spirit than most modern apartments, the home is differentiated by its offering of both bay and city views, while also delivering access to communal amenities that include a gymnasium and an outdoor swimming pool set in landscaped gardens.

An impressively scaled open-plan dining and living domain offers adequate space to include a desk without feeling cluttered and is anchored by a kitchen with Smeg cooking, while two sets of double doors extend it outdoors to a terrace where up-close beach views to the right are remarkably complemented by city views to the left. The primary bedroom – with its own ensuite and built-in robes – also opens to a terrace with more city views, plus there are built-in robes in the second bedroom, a central bathroom, a laundry, and secure video entry, as well as non-stacker parking in the basement.

With the waterfront and endless bike paths directly across the road, you will never be short of outdoor exercising options, before heading to Bay Street for the perfect coffee or breakfast venue, while the selection of nearby bars and restaurants is perfect for an impromptu evening catch up, plus you have the light rail nearby for the fastest and easiest city commute imaginable.
