Villa fronte mare, vista mozzafiato sulla baia

With its front-row seat to the bay and breathtaking water views, this seaside apartment neighbouring the iconic Sorrento Hotel parades a glorious beachside opportunity for seachangers, holidaymakers or downsizers in footsteps to the beach and Sorrento’s vibrant town centre. Beyond electronic gates with keypad entry in the exclusive ‘Raffles Court’ complex, the first level unit features north-facing open-concept living and dining with solid timber floors and walls of windows framing Port Phillip Bay and the coastline to the Dandenong Ranges. Opening out to a private terrace, the setting invites a cosy morning cup of coffee as the yachts bob on the bay below and the Queenscliff ferry glides by. A tidy kitchen is complemented by a stainless-steel Bellissimo oven, electric cooktop and a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, providing all the essentials for home cooking in between exploring nearby restaurants and boutiques lining Ocean Beach Road, which is just 350m away. The master bedroom enjoys its own stunning water views, while a second bedroom, two-way bathroom, panel heating and double carport are among the inclusions. An easy walk to art galleries, day spas, cafes, bakeries and takeaways, along with all essential services, moments to the golf course and yachting facilities and a short drive to hot springs, surf breaks and wineries, the property would thrive on the holiday-rental market.
