Ever dreamt of a vibrant and social lifestyle that allows you the luxury of resort style facilities, a prestigious apartment that requires no maintenance, and the ability to "get up and go" knowing your property will be safe and secure in your absence, all within minutes walking distance to the centre of Hobart? This dream can be your reality in this much sought-after sub-penthouse apartment where sun, security, views and privacy are optimal. Less than 10 minutes walk to the gastronomic selection of quality restaurants, bars and cafes on the Salamanca Waterfront, and with hospitals, the Theatre Royal, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery literally on your doorstep, you will only need one car when you are not out exploring these cultural experiences on foot! In saying this, a second car space is available to purchase at additional cost with this apartment - usually only available to the penthouse owners. Known for its superior quality and unique design, One Collins is a standout apartment complex, with lift access, secure garaging and access, intercom and alarm systems to provide the optimum, stress free inner-city living experience. Beautifully maintained common areas include an in-ground salt-water chlorinated pool and a gymnasium for year-round use. Each apartment is unique, and number 53 is no exception. Timber floorboards throughout the open plan living area provide a practical surface for everyday living. Ducted reverse cycle heating/cooling is perfect after a long day at work, heating or cooling the apartment within minutes. Plus a ducted vacuum is an added luxury. Open plan in its design, the stunning kitchen is timeless with granite benchtops, ample top-quality cupboards and appliances, and a built in wine rack designed for those who love cooking when not dining out! Double sliding doors open out onto the fabulous, surprisingly spacious balcony that takes in the beautiful mountain sunsets spanning across to the Rose Garden on the domain and down to the complex's swimming pool. This is the perfect place to have a barbeque and entertain guests while enjoying the quiet aspect, or just recline and have an afternoon nap in the sun. The unique floorplan is flexible with two large bedrooms, the main with a double walk-in robe through to the ensuite. The third room is ideally set up as a home office off the living space, but could easily be used as a third bedroom for guests. Central, secure and sunny...alliteration at it's best...and so is this apartment! So free up your time to do the things you love to do without the worry of maintenance and time consuming gardening! With additional chattels included, this apartment could be the lifestyle change you have been dreaming of!
