Property description

PROPERTY SUMMARY This penthouse apartment is something special, packed with hard to find features, including elevator access, three double bedrooms and a spacious lounge with a light and airy feel. It is an apartment that surpasses the rest. Its penthouse status means not only is it quiet, but also private and the horizon is your décor. All three bedrooms and the living room benefit from large windows showcasing a magnificent view of the sea front, the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth Harbour. This ever changing scenery of passing boats combined with the greenery of Southsea Common is breath taking. On entering this apartment you step into an open- plan hallway and the attention to detail of this renovation becomes immediately apparent with large, mirrored, built-in storage space. A short flight of stairs leads to a large open roof top terrace with outstanding panoramic views over the Solent- a perfect viewing point for the Louis Vuitton Americas Cup and Cowes Sailing Week along with other local and international events. In addition, the apartment benefits from gas fired central heating, double glazing, a brand new kitchen and bathroom with integrated fixtures and fittings of the highest quality. Its location is key, being within walking distance of local shopping amenities as well as the designer outlets and array of restaurants at Gunwharf Quays. European Ports as well as ferries to the Isle of Wight are also accessible within five minutes. Early internal viewing of this impressive and unique apartment is strongly recommended.
