The ultra beachfront position has been enhanced via extensive use of glass, which was \u2013 most importantly \u2013 utilised for the property fencing, highlighting how there is nothing between the living room and golden sands of Mermaid Beach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sitting on a rare corner block on \u201cone of the most prestigious streets in the country, Albatross Ave,\u201d what the lot lacks in land size it makes up for in living space, which spans three levels and 703 square metres.<\/p>\n

While there is no price guide, the spectacular pad was last sold for $10 million in 2008, with the current owners holding onto the property for over 14 years, according to Domain Pricefinder data.<\/p>\n

But this isn\u2019t a case of the view being the best thing about the home \u2013 there is a lot on offer inside, like a cinema room and sprawling lounge with custom-built bar that spills onto an alfresco terrace.<\/p>\n

Interiors-wise, the open-plan design aesthetic is bang on for the location and calibre of the home, being relaxed, yet refined while still offering some character.<\/p>\n

This is seen in the kitchen with its charming yet elegant blend of coloured tile work, marble bench tops, European appliances and walk-in pantry.<\/p>\n

There are four bedrooms, with three located upstairs as well as five bathrooms in the residence. The master suite enjoys sweeping ocean vistas from its own private balcony.<\/p>\n
