Waterfront luxe in a dual-level penthouse
Perched high on the banks of the Maribyrnong to capture truly spectacular scenery, this thoughtfully revamped, two-storey residence blends amenity with serenity to be the ultimate water's-edge penthouse retreat.
Occupying the northwestern corner of two Lakehouse levels, the home is quick to distinguish itself from the apartment norm with its raked, soaring ceiling and wealth of double-glazed glass for an ambiance of airy prestige. Well-served by a stone-top Bosch kitchen, living and dining zones step onto a wrap-around balcony where an unforgettable water backdrop enlivens Sunday barbecues, sunrise coffees, and evening drinks alongside friends. Wonderful sunlight, sweeping vistas, built-in robes, a smart central bathroom/laundry, and master ensuite accompany two substantial, lower-floor bedrooms, while a stellar mezzanine level with work and lounge spaces proves just as ideal as an oversized master suite.
Other highlights include reverse-cycle heating/cooling, ceiling fans, wide hybrid floorboards, automated honeycomb blinds for thermal efficiency, two car spaces and storage cages, a private EV charging point, video intercom, and building approval for the 'Solar for Apartments' scheme. With great coffee and cuisine at the foot of the building, it's mere steps to the river's picturesque leisure trail, Flemington Racecourse, the local Aldi, and bus to nearby Highpoint, while near the aquatic centre, new Footscray Hospital, Victoria University, and city-bound transport.
