Opera House and bridge views from gorgeous ground floor apartment

No. 1/25 Milson Rd, Cremorne Point.

THE INTRIGUING shape of the building in which this lovely ground-floor apartment sits is a sight to behold on approach, its hexagonal turrets and facade enveloping what is clearly a grand old dame.

Up on its mini cliff ­Holyoak sits, and it’s from the front of this original Federation beauty that our apartment casts its appraising eye out over the harbour, with Opera House and Harbour Bridge smack bang in the middle of a picture-­perfect view.

The hexagonal shaped living and dining room.

While soaking up these gorgeous vistas from the large and attractive suntrap terrace is more than enough fun, inside offers plenty more for the discerning ­Cremorne Point resident.

On entering, you’re met with the surprisingly sizeable kitchen, the slightly dark interior of which is offset with its cute round window, and the rather quirky frosted window into the second bedroom next door (which has a door on to that lovely terrace).

Next to this, and opposite the kitchen, is the large and bright living/dining space, which opens on to the terrace, too. The cute hexagon shape to the end of the room can easily accommodate an eight-seat dining suite, and the pretty cornices suit the elegant vibe of the room ­perfectly.

All the bedrooms are spacious and bright.

Along the hall is an ornate if dated bathroom, including a highset, good size bath and massive separate shower.

However, it’s the main bedroom of the three that ­really impresses. Currently accessed through a high walk-in wardrobe, it’s an appropriately grand size and has a beautiful original fireplace, while its ensuite is just as impressive as the main bathroom, if not more so.

The good size kitchen has a porthole window.

The potential of the property is ­enormous. While you could happily leave it as is, contemporary updates to the bathrooms and possibly the moving around of certain sections — sectioning off the laundry, for example, and maybe turning the second bedroom into a grand dining room — would really give this gorgeous apartment some extra pizzazz.

No. 1/25 Milson Rd, Cremorne Point, is listed with Piers Von Hamburg at McGrath Neutral Bay and has a guide price of $3m-$3.3m.
