While downsizers have been the biggest drivers of demand for apartments in central Geelong, scaling back on internal space is not a prerequisite at 501/6-8 Eastern Beach Rd, Geelong.

With four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living areas, a home office and parking spaces for four vehicles, the vast apartment rivals many family homes for amenity.

And that’s before taking into account access to communal facilities such as the indoor swimming pool, gymnasium and steam room and a rooftop garden and barbecue area.

McGrath, Geelong selling agent Jim Cross said you could easily imagine hosting 100 people at a New Year’s Eve party on the landscaped communal terrace.

The apartment has access to the Edgewater’s rooftop garden.

He said the apartment offered the perfect balance of space and low-maintenance living to provide a smooth transition for downsizers shifting in from a larger family home.

It’s listed with price hopes of $3.995m to $4.395m

“The rarity is it’s such a huge volume penthouse. It runs the full length of the building, from front to back, so you get to capitalise on floor to ceiling windows from the rear master bedroom all the way to the front of the penthouse,” Mr Cross said.

“You have got these panoramic views across the waterfront and the activity centre.

“From an amenities point of view four bedrooms, three bathroom and four cars is extremely difficult to find not only in the Geelong market but in Melbourne.”

The kitchen presides over the main living space.

There’s a private balcony off the main bedroom.

It is the first time the apartment, designed by architectural firm Fender Katsalidis, has been listed for sale since the award-winning Edgewater project was completed in 2009.

Mr Cross said the complex had always been seen as one of the premier waterfront buildings.

A curved wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and a series of private balconies are hallmarks of this particular apartment that’s geared towards indoor-outdoor entertaining.

An open-plan kitchen, dining and living area occupies prime position at the northern end of the residence where a covered balcony is angled for bay and sunset views.

The ensuite bathroom has a double vanity and large shower.

Timber cabinetry is paired with stone benchtops and Miele appliances for a luxe the kitchen.

A second sitting area creates a quiet zone beside the home office that’s positioned en route to the bedroom wing at the apartment’s southern end. Three of the four bedrooms have ensuites, including the oversized main suite that counts a private balcony and large walk-in wardrobe among its other features.
