PYRMONT236/3 DARLING ISLAND ROAD$1.7 million+Apartment 2 bed, 2 bath, 2 carBuilt 2005Size 153 sq mStrata levy $2100 a quarterInspect Thu, 6-6.30pm; Sat 1-1.45pmAgent Morton & Morton, 0410 593 057Auction April 16Last traded for $1.52 million in 2001 (off the plan)Even on an overcast day this apartment is flooded with natural light and, with boats bobbing on the water in Jones Bay, it's difficult to resist the pull of a glass of bubbly and a bucket of prawns. The view from the living area and covered balcony is delightful: the restored Jones Bay Wharf and expensive-looking catamarans white and shiny against the bay.The tiled open-plan living spaces take full advantage of the view, with floor-to-ceiling windows across the western wall. The adjoining gas kitchen features stone benchtops and Miele appliances.Both bedrooms have en suites, the main with both bath and shower and a double vanity, plus a walk-through wardrobe. From the bedrooms there is access to an east-facing balcony, from which there are views of the city skyline and Harbour Bridge.Other features include a guest toilet, reverse-cycle dual-zone airconditioning, security intercom and concierge service.The apartment comes with a tandem garage and storage cage and has access to a heated lap pool, gym, spa and sauna.THE AGENT, JAMES CROW, SAYS:"I love the light and airy open-plan feel, which fuses well with the large balcony. It is the most desirable harbour-front peninsula in the Pyrmont area, with low-rise buildings and no further development. It's very private and peaceful yet only a 15-minute walk to the city."THE OWNER SAYS:"I like the way the large balcony is an integral part of the living area. We use it all the time for dining and entertaining. The layout with the flow-through ventilation means the apartment is always cool. The location is quiet and so close to the water."
