Designed with lasting good looks by renowned architect Neville Price, this one-bedroom unit offers a refreshing alternative to the blandness of new builds. A compact, mid-century gem, thoughtfully updated while retaining its 1960s charm, it’s a sanctuary of style - ideal as a lock-and-leave for travellers, bolt-hole between bach weekends, first step on the ladder or sound investment.

Solid concrete block construction (freshly painted this year) wraps around a sun-soaked, fully enclosed north-facing courtyard. Floor-to-ceiling windows to the courtyard flood the interiors with light, yet you have total privacy. The courtyard doubles as an alfresco lounge - think morning coffee, evening wine, or an extra living zone for when friends or family drop by.

Inside, the original board-and-batten ceilings and classic mid-century lines have been given a subtle lift with new floors, fresh paint, and soft new carpet, creating a gallery-like backdrop just waiting for your personal touch.

There’s a small exclusive-use lawn and garden at the front, a garden shed for storage, off-street parking, and a peaceful St Heliers address that’s just minutes from everything: Eastridge shopping, cafés, beaches and public transport.

If you’re looking for something different - with soul and simplicity - this could be it.
