The living area.

Perched on the 23rd floor of Northcliffe Residences, the 401 sqm sky home offered breathtaking views and a lifestyle few will ever experience.

Mr Cowley described the four-bedroom, five-bathroom property as a “once-in-a-lifetime” home, making its sale a reluctant decision.

“I am very sorry to have to sell it, it is a beautiful way of life,” Mr Cowley said.

“Living at this height has always been so quiet and peaceful.

“You don’t hear neighbours and live in complete privacy overlooking the ocean.”

Looking across the living area.

Framed by floor-to-ceiling glass, the residence captures sweeping, uninterrupted views from Coolangatta to Stradbroke Island, with the ever-changing Pacific Ocean as its centrepiece.

Inside, high-end finishes like flawless natural stone, rich timber detailing, and custom joinery elevate every room, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance.

The gourmet kitchen is anchored by a striking marble island and equipped with dual Miele ovens and fridges, complemented by bespoke cabinetry.

What a view!

A butler’s pantry adds extra prep space, complete with a second set of ovens, integrated dishwasher, and a zip tap for convenience during entertaining.

The grand living and dining areas seamlessly flow onto a 47 sqm wraparound beachfront terrace, perfect for sophisticated gatherings or quiet moments overlooking the ocean.

The ocean views are pretty impressive!

The primary suite is a private retreat with direct terrace access, a lavish walk-in dressing room, and an ensuite featuring a freestanding soaking tub and dual vanities.

“It is designed so that the main bedroom is its own retreat, far away from the other bedrooms,” Mr Cowley said.

“It is a house-sized apartment so you can truly spread out.”

Mr Cowley said he also enjoyed the array of amenities on offer at Northcliffe Residences.

“I have often used the gymnasium and the sauna and enjoyed all of the facilities of the building,” he said.

Secure underground parking includes two dedicated car spaces plus a private storage cage, offering both convenience and peace of mind.

Additional features such as ducted airconditioning, powder room, and ample storage throughout the residence enhance everyday comfort.
