Apartment 1, Thalassa House is the standout residence in one of Bangor’s most prestigious coastal developments. Situated on the ground floor, this exceptional apartment occupies the original site of the former Thalassa House; a grand early 20th-century home that has since been thoughtfully replaced with an exclusive collection of just nine luxury apartments.
While the original house was removed, the spirit of its elegance lives on in this meticulously designed development. Apartment 1 combines timeless architectural charm with the finest modern finishes, creating a perfect blend of heritage and contemporary comfort.
Offering direct private access, a generous outdoor area, and breathtaking panoramic views over Bangor Marina, Belfast Lough, and the distant Antrim Hills, this apartment truly embodies refined seafront living at its best.
From the moment you enter, the sense of quality is unmistakable. This beautifully proportioned home is bathed in natural light and finished to an exceptional standard throughout. The expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space has been thoughtfully designed for both stylish entertaining and effortless day-to-day living. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the sea, while the bespoke kitchen features premium Neff appliances, sleek quartz worktops, and elegant cabinetry- seamlessly connected to a sophisticated drawing room that elevates the entire living experience.
The principal bedroom is a private sanctuary, featuring custom-designed shelving, integrated lighting and sliding doors leading to a secluded, porcelain-paved patio - perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. A beautifully finished en suite and an adjoining dressing room with bespoke built-in storage add to the suite’s luxurious feel. The second double bedroom enjoys dual aspect windows with views of Bangor Bay and Scotland beyond-making it an equally tranquil retreat. A second bathroom, exquisitely styled with designer fittings, completes the space.
Additional features include a separate utility room, excellent internal storage and allocated resident parking just steps from your door. A private basement storage area is also included. With underfloor heating, energy-efficient lighting and high-spec finishes throughout, this home offers the ultimate in low-maintenance, high-comfort living.
Apartment 1 offers the perfect balance of old-world charm and contemporary living, all while providing breathtaking views and a prime location on Bangor’s beautiful marina. It’s where history and luxury converge to create a truly exceptional home.
