The Jewel in the crown atop of the iconic Henty House circa 1920s, this meticulously crafted one-of-a-kind residence is truly world-class. Offering magnificent proportions with two levels of impressive scale and opulence, this is an opportunity often sought out in the Melbourne marketplace and rarely found.
Upon entry to the grand foyer of residence 704, you are immediately swept away by the beauty of it all. A London townhouse-inspired renovation complete with herringbone flooring throughout, benefitting in an abundance of natural light with the clever addition of skylights, this painstakingly renovated penthouse is the result of incredible vision and an instinctive flair for exquisite and smart design.
The upper floor contains the large and open-plan living & dining area which flows seamlessly onto two balconies. The kitchen is a work of art, a nod to classic design with a contemporary edge generously appointed with Calacatta Vagli, the pinnacle of Italian marble. Featuring a SMEG induction cooktop, oven & microwave oven, double integrated Godrej fridge freezer, Asko dishwasher, and BILLI zip tap for instant boiling, chilled and sparkling water. There is storage in abundance, all cleverly concealed. The custom upholstered leather bench seat with under-seat storage compliments the magnificent fitted mid-century designer dining table.
An entertainer's dream with a custom bar, the backlit smoked mirror details add to the ambience adjacent to the gas log fire to enjoy a glass of your favourite drop.
The lower floor comprises three bedrooms off the entrance hall. The master is a standout, with the ceiling wrapped in custom wallpaper. Storage is plentiful with built-in robes, and a separate walk-in robe. The evocative ensuite with twin sinks clad in Nero Marquina marble and Sussex tapware. Two further bedrooms both with a real sense of individuality are serviced by a central bathroom with the same level of luxury appointments as the ensuite. Further benefits include Pittella Italian-designed door handles throughout, zoned ducted heating and cooling, and a secure video intercom.
Boasting an extremely rare & private secured double garage with an adjoining wine room, Italian terrazzo flooring with a current 300 bottle capacity.
The garage can be accessed by multiple laneways making for easy access to Collins, William, and Little Collins Street. You also have permit parking for your guests, one of the only residential buildings to offer this in the city.
This remarkable residence and its locale unfold with perfection set in the prime historic legal precinct where you are just moments from the delights of Collins Street, Bank Place, cafes, restaurants, and shopping boutiques too numerous to mention.
An incredible lifestyle awaits and an inspection is a must to truly appreciate the quality of a residence that exudes modern glamour and timeless elegance.
