The Gold Coast conveyed to the world its modernity during the recent Commonwealth Games, but traces of the old days are still found periodically in property offerings.

There's an intact 1978 Ron McMaster-designed apartment on Main Beach listed for sale.

It is dubbed penthouse on the ground floor, with then McMaster's business partner's wife having a fear of living up high so McMaster and Ernest (Ernie) Suares designed a penthouse sized ground floor apartment.

Spanning over 460 square metres across two levels, the apartment in the Yachting Towers complex has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a Swedish sauna.

A rumpus room and a separate wet bar overlooks the private back garden with swimming pool, spa and cabana.

McMaster was known as the king of highrise.

The pool was a popular place for the Gold Coast's most notable residents some five decades ago.

Peter McManus Real Estate agent Peter McManus is asking $1.25 million.
