THE EPITOME OF EAST-SIDE ELEGANCE
‘677’ unveiled at Rose Bay
Set to thoroughly impress its prospective owners with modern
design, functional architecture and a myriad of quality inclusions on
which no expense has been spared, ‘677’ is the latest residential
addition to the sophisticated area of Rose Bay.
Superbly located at 677 New South Head Road - just a 9 iron from
Woollahra Golf Course - the Lyne Park Developments project has
been designed specifically for couples and families who want
spacious house-style living on a single level. The rooms are large,
the ceilings are high, the windows expansive, the terraces vast, the
entertaining options numerous and the storage space copious.
Comprising just three boutique apartments with an entire floor
devoted to each, ‘677’ displays a contemporary, functional motif
with a sophisticated international edge created by Alex Moldovan of
Moldovan Architects. “We have given the building a clean, crisp
façade, using a softly-coloured exterior to contrast with the bold
geometry of the structure,” he said. “The building’s form follows its
function, with a straightforward design indicative of what’s inside.
It’s not trying to be anything other than what it is.
“Windows face every direction and the apartments flow through
from north to south, giving residents a variety of aspects and
generating natural cross-flow ventilation. If there is no sea breeze
then the fully ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning can be used to
modify conditions.”
The apartments feature a natural palette developed by Ruth Levine
and Andrea D’Cruz of rldesign. “The warm colours range from
nougat to deep chocolate, designed as a sophisticated and luxurious
backdrop that allows residents the freedom to express their own
individual style,” they said. “Every surface has been thoroughly
considered and visual textures have been layered within the
detailing to create a comfortable, nurturing living environment.”
The ground-level apartment boasts deep, paved terraces with front
and rear landscaped lawns, a sparkling heated lap pool, beautifully
manicured gardens and lush, mature trees.
The penthouse has the bonus of a spacious roof garden, providing
an ideal place for barbecues, entertaining and catching some sun.
Its north-facing aspect offers views over Lyne Park and the waters
of Rose Bay, with a leafy southerly outlook over Cranbrook
Sportsground and Woollahra Playing Fields.
In each three-bed plus study apartment, bi-fold doors provide
access from living areas onto ample terraces that take full
advantage of the northerly vistas. Flying boats, including the
famous Catalinas, used Rose Bay as a landing site which - for trivia
buffs - was Australia’s first international airport.
Kitchens include top-of-the-range Miele, Ilve and Fisher & Paykel
appliances including a stainless steel oven, five-burner cooktop,
built-in microwave, built-in espresso machine, integrated range
hood, two-drawer integrated dishwasher and a two-door
refrigerator.
Bedrooms are flooded with natural light and are positioned at the
southern end of each apartment to ensure peace and quiet. They
feature 100% pure wool carpet and full height polyurethane
wardrobes, and master bedrooms comprise walk-in robes in timber
veneer and floor-to-ceiling mirrored walls.
Ensuites, bathrooms and powder rooms flaunt heated flooring
beneath thick slabs of Italian marble, frameless glass showers,
polyurethane surfaces, chrome accessories and ceramic and
porcelain amenities. A Miele washer and dryer set is standard in
every laundry.
“At ‘677’, windows are present in most bathrooms and ensuites,
creating a natural source of light and fresh air,” said Mr Moldovan.
“In many new apartment buildings, these areas lack windows and
require mechanical ventilation and constant electrical lighting.”
Each apartment has video intercom security access, a fully
computerised system for home entertainment, double and triple
security garages with direct lift access and lock-up storage bays.
“These beautiful apartments have been eagerly awaited,” said Julian
Hasemer of First City Realty. “They display architecture, design and
luxurious inclusions of a world class standard.”
Even the underground garage at ‘677’ is indicative of its prestige –
the floor is tiled in stone and a temperature-controlled wine cellar
provides individual refrigerated cabinets for each apartment. A
fitness centre includes selected exercise equipment with a TV and
water cooler.
“We included the wine cellar and the exercise room as additional
features – we believe them to be lifestyle requirements in this kind
of upmarket development,” said Mr Moldovan. “They are small
luxuries that indicate ‘677’ is conducive to pleasure and comfort.”
‘677’ is well-located for leisure and entertainment, with the Royal
Sydney Golf Course, Woollahra Sailing Club, Rose Bay Marina and
Lyne Park Tennis Centre nearby. A short stroll will take you to a
variety of upscale waterfront restaurants lining the bay, and the
cosmopolitan precincts of Double Bay, North Rose Bay, Bondi and
Paddington are a few minutes’ drive away.
‘677’ is open for inspection through Martin Maskin of Raine & Horne
Double Bay on 9327 7971 / 0419 22 44 55, or Julian Hasemer of
First City Realty on 9326 1299 / 0412 207 206.
