Shell Cove is a location on the water that the locals love.
Spotlight is on a gate
As part of The Waterfront, Shell Cove, the Slices Homes will be on the market to attract newcomers in the area.
Seamlessly connected to the city center of Shell Cove and the marina of Shellharbour, residents have countless facilities on the doorstep.
The houses were designed by Plus Architecture and are thoughtful and elegant. “The design really emphasizes the synergy between the environment and modern facilities,” says Mathew Gulliver, development director of The Waterfront, Shell Cove.
“We have done this from an aesthetic perspective, so it fits in well with the landscape, but also complements the other building designs and excellence that we see and produce in the port area.”
Divided into six levels, 88 luxury apartments are designed with natural materials and coastal color palettes, creating a timeless appearance that appeals to buyers on the coast.
In terms of dimensions and execution, there are possibilities for a wide range of buyers in various phases of life.
For people who really want to change, there is the offer of living on one level with one, two or three bedrooms.
Map options can consist of study rooms and larger balconies with various views, including a view of the harbor or the hinterland, or on the surrounding parks.
There are also houses on the ground floor with a courtyard that offer extra living space outside, while two spacious penthouses offer a beautiful view.
Gulliver emphasizes the beautiful communal roof space of approximately 700 m². “The roof offers a view of the marina and there is a large communal outdoor space,” he says.
“This is also where the heated swimming pool is located, and there are landscaped collection spots and a barbecue.
And the view on the other side overlooks the parks and marshes, which is just as special. “
The Portella homes are carefully designed apartments with which residents can enjoy everything that Shell Cove has to offer.
Pleasant prices, luxury life
Although Portella offers a luxury residential option, it is planned with more feasible prices in the water in mind to ensure that there is something for everyone.
The price guide for the apartments with one bedroom varies from $ 715,000 to $ 815,000, while the options with two bedrooms vary from $ 990,000 to $ 1.675 million, and for three bedroom designs is between $ 1.63 million and $ 2.28 million. There are also two penthouse apartments with three bedrooms with a price indication of $ 2.9 million to $ 3.1 million.
Gulliver says that these prices are better ‘feasible’ than in other coastal areas and housing options.
“It is a reasonable price and offers a great location and facilities for people who want to live on the water,” he shares.
“It will be attractive for the owners, but is also reasonable from an investment perspective.”
The Portella houses offer a balance between luxury design and a more feasible price.
He adds that the latest release also has all the advantages of the impressive infrastructure that is available in the surrounding suburb.
“You not only have the marina and facilities on the waterfront, but there is also the left golf course in the area, and there is also Bass Point Reserve, which is a big draw.”
The new community has useful transport connections to connect residents with nearby urban centers such as Wollongong, where first -class health care facilities, schools and universities can be found.
Gulliver also notes that the opening of the Crowne Plaza Shell Cove Marina Hotel, which is planned for the end of 2025, will bring new visitors to this trendy ‘weekend destination’ and can also serve as a base for friends and family.
