Boutique Coastal Apartment, One of the East Coast’s Great Beaches
The beach lifestyle. Without the compromise.
Some locations exist by accident of geography, and cannot be replicated.
One of only three apartments in a boutique building on Bay Road, Toowoon Bay – this is not a development. It is a passion project. Conceived and delivered by award-winning architect and developer Darren Tye, the brief was simple: create the ideal no maintenance weekend escape to access Toowoon Bay. The result is a 205sqm residence so thoroughly over-specified that its replacement cost today would significantly exceed the asking price. Custom finishes, bespoke inclusions, and a level of craft that strata apartments simply do not reach. Now offered for sale for the first time.
To understand why the address matters: Toowoon Bay is not a typical east coast beach. It is a protected horseshoe bay, reef-sheltered from ocean swell, with calm turquoise water so clear it reads closer to the Whitsundays than suburban Central Coast. It is patrolled. It is family-safe at all ages. Whales and dolphins move through regularly. Snorkelling over exposed reef at low tide, stand-up paddleboarding on glassy water, coffee at the café fifty metres from the sand – this is what a beach suburb looks like when it has never needed to try hard. Little Bay sits immediately to the south. Blue Bay to the north. Wyrrabalong National Park frames the coastline. A short walk from your front door reaches all of it. Beaches like this are not built. They are either there, or they are not. This one is.
Step inside and the same logic applies. Terrazzo floors run the full length of the apartment. Ceilings soar. The bespoke marble kitchen and laundry with premium Bosch appliances throughout create the backdrop to thoughtful spaces- not upgrades, but considered selections made by someone who understood from the beginning that this place would only be built once, and only built right. The expansive terrace extends the living space outward with a built-in outdoor kitchen, the whole north-eastern aspect opening to ocean and park views from the rooftop terrace above. Spaces like this are not arrived at by accident. They are the result of an architect who refused to stop at good enough.
The master suite occupies its own wing – king-sized, quiet, and serviced by a proper ensuite. The main bathroom does not compromise: dual showers and a freestanding bath, because the location demanded nothing less. Two further bedrooms complete the floor. A gas fireplace for winter. Electric blinds throughout. Lift access to secure parking for two. Every detail resolved, because every detail was considered.
The rooftop is the exclamation point. Ocean views and park views in one sweep – a private elevated terrace that turns a Sunday morning into something worth staying for. There is only one rooftop on this building. There is only one building like this on this street.
Toowoon Bay sits 90 minutes north of Sydney on the Central Coast. The beach, the café strip, Wyrrabalong National Park, and the broader Central Coast lifestyle are all on foot from this address. For the buyer who has looked at the beach markets and found them either compromised in quality or frightening in price, this apartment offers a third option: genuine architectural quality, a genuinely exceptional beach, and a building so small it will never be confused with anything built for volume.
