By day a generous balcony delivers breathtaking views of the tropical north’s Darwin Harbour, with its
 mix of commercial and recreational ships.

By night, cooling breezes as well as lights on the ships and the harbour in general create a special ambience.

Look out over the water at night with a cool drink in hand.

The apartment’s occupants can either kick back or entertain friends and relatives on the balcony, which has convenient sliding door access from both the main communal
 living zone and one of the three bedrooms.

“You can watch the world go by with a cold beer or a glass of champagne,’’ Knight Frank Northern
 Territory sales agent Rick Trippe says.

An outlook onto Darwin Harbour is just one of the many upsides of this light-filled apartment.

He says the eighth-floor apartment offers a top-of-the-town lifestyle with inner city shops, services 
and restaurants within walking distance.

Its 158sqm of floor space comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a good-size, open-plan kitchen/family/meals zone.

Even the spacious kitchen isn’t far from views of the water.

“It’s fully tiled in the living areas and carpeted in the bedrooms,’’ Mr Trippe says.

“There are also two secure car spaces downstairs and a lock-up workshop or storeroom for anyone who fancies themselves a 
handy man or woman.’’

Bedrooms are compact but airy, with plenty of windows to enjoy the sea breezes.

Fans of fine dining and night-time entertainment will appreciate that the apartment is “literally around the corner’’ from Darwin’s main drag Mitchell Street, with all its eateries, shops and services.

“Residents can also visit the nearby wave pool, one of many of Darwin’s attractions,’’ Mr Trippe says.

The sales agent says the apartment will suit both families and professional singles and couples as well as investors.

“We already
 have many families living in this apartment building,’’ he says.

“It would also be a great base or pad for those business people who visit Darwin frequently. The views from the balcony are great during the day and 
you can watch the cruise ships come into the harbour. At night the lights on the harbour are like fairy lights, creating a magical atmosphere.’’

The Knight Frank spokesman says the apartment has already attracted strong interest from locals and interstaters looking for a good investment opportunity.
