With the Derwent River literally on the doorstep, this 2-bedroom apartment in the St Alva complex is definitely in a prime location. You may notice that both Unit 5 and Unit 6 are available for purchase. They are being offered as individual units, or for the astute investor, purchasing both would result in ownership of the entire ground floor with the option to either maintain the status quo, or convert into one luxurious apartment on the river's edge, subject to acceptance of strata title application, issue of strata titles and other statutory approvals. This iconic Art Deco building is a well-known landmark on Sandy Bay Rd, signalling the nearby entrance to Wrest Point Casino, the original Wrest Point Hotel also being a fine, classic example of Art Deco style.
The building itself comprises six individual apartments, all of which are north-east facing, welcoming the sun in the morning and enjoying its warmth for the remainder of the day. The beauty of apartments 5 and 6 is that they are on the ground floor with patios extending onto the common property grassy verges enclosed by secure fencing. While apartment 5 has a gate allowing easy access to the nearby parkland, apartment 6 has a delightful, has adjoining common property paved patio area for alfresco dining, plus its own jetty for those boating enthusiasts, whether they be sailors, kayakers, speed boat lovers or fishing fans. Both apartments also have extra storage in the rear laundries, single garages at street level, and covered access to their front doors. In their original state, these two apartments would have been mirror images of each other; however, with renovations in recent years, they have developed their own character and charm. Whilst apartment 5 has two bedrooms and a separate living-dining area from the kitchen, apartment 6 has included the kitchen in the living-dining areas, along with an adjoining sunroom with bi-fold doors: a perfect place for relaxing and immersing oneself in the yachting atmosphere of the nearby marinas.The location of these two apartments is enviable. They are within easy walking distance of the Sandy Bay shopping centre, whilst a regular bus service also provides easy access to both the shopping centre and the Hobart CBD. The marinas of the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania and the Derwent Sailing Squadron are around the corner at one end of Marieville Esplanade, while the delights of historic Battery Point rise from its far end.
