Sending out invitations to a dinner party hosted in 'The Public Bar' is simply marvelous, especially when your residence is part of the magnificent Oceanic Hotel. Such is the privilege of residing in this property, a beautifully converted townhouse that stands as a singular masterpiece, incapable of replication. For those who dislike the mundane and revel in soaring ceilings, vast expanses of space steeped in history, No.2 offers an unparalleled experience. Once the esteemed Oceanic Hotel, this architectural gem has been transformed into six distinct units, each exuding independence and uniqueness. Among them, only No.2, along with one other, boasts a second story adorned with spacious verandahs. Hidden behind a wall and controlled by remote gates, a north-facing courtyard garden invites you in. As you step inside, you'll notice a mesmerizing copper fountain sculpture in the corner, while a serene water wall softly murmurs nearby, creating a peaceful atmosphere in this private front garden. Among the lush greenery of ornamental pear and bay trees, wisteria, climbing plants, and native violets, a delightful surprise awaits-a charming Roman bath, adding a touch of whimsy to the tranquil scene. Here, friends can gather around a massive table crafted from exotic stone, supposedly sourced from the River Ganges. And for culinary enthusiasts, there's a large copper-covered BBQ and grill ready with a wok and lid, promising delightful meals under the open sky.. While the original public bar is now of the past, an adjoining WC has undergone a transformation into a stunning powder room, retaining much of its original charm. The grand ground floor welcomes with a tiled entry statement and imposing pillars, now divided into a dining area, drawing room, and lounge/music room. A pair of hand-crafted art-deco doors in the lounge conceals the original cloakroom, now reborn as a cocktail bar, while a third door leads to the powder room. A striking feature is the expansive wall adorned with beautifully crafted timber bookshelves. The well laid out kitchen, in Federation style, boasts a gleaming granite workspace and integrated European White goods, providing both efficiency and elegance. A jarrah staircase ascends through a 30-meter void to the first floor, where a long corridor adorned with a trompe l'oeil garden mural leads to two spacious bedrooms, complete with fireplaces; one with a walk-in robe and the other a sizeable antique wardrobe also good to store linen. The stylish bathroom complex has been completely renovated and is based on the original hotel bathrooms with light conducting glass blocks throughout. A double door opens onto an expansive verandah, ideal for breakfast or soirées, offering views of the courtyard and shaded treetops. Words fail to capture the beauty and functionality of this extraordinary residence, perfect for both living and entertaining. With ample space indoors and out, including the enchanting courtyard that transforms into a fairyland at night, this unique abode promises an exceptional lifestyle for its fortunate owner. From its vast living spaces and colonial verandahs to its flexible floor plan and outdoor Roman bath, Apartment 2 epitomizes luxury living in a superb location, within walking distance of river, beach, shops, and public transport.
