Commanding the entire top floor of South Yarra's prestigious 'Baillie' building, this spectacularly sunlit penthouse manages to evoke the feel of a private treehouse with a huge northern aspect and seamless connections to vast wrap-around gardens where views to the city skyline are simply stunning. Offered for the first time by its original owners, this impeccable residence offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study, representing a tightly held opportunity to live the quintessential South Yarra lifestyle perched above one of its most esteemed boulevards.
Crafted for unforgettable alfresco entertaining, bright dining and living domains are wrapped in a remarkable 81.6 sqm (approx.) of rooftop gardens, backed by brilliant views and anchored by a gourmet kitchen where Miele cooking is complemented by a Bosch dishwasher, an integrated refrigerator and stunning marble benches that have been sealed for added durability. Effortlessly, the open-plan steps out to a large entertainers' deck that is sheltered by a retractable awning and appointed with a built-in BBQ, while the open-plan is warmed by a large gas log fireplace.
The primary bedroom is impressively scaled with its own subway-tiled designer ensuite that features an independent bathtub, while the study enjoys a treetop aspect that makes working from home a joyful experience and secure side-by-side basement parking for two vehicles further enhances the home's already-strong lock-and-leave credentials. Additional highlights of this fully secure residence include video entry and direct elevator-access to the front door, plus there is a large storage cage, impressive built-in robes and a concealed laundry as well as automated block-out blinds, plantation shutters, reverse cycle heating and air conditioning.
Situated in one of Melbourne's most keenly sought-after lifestyle pockets with walk-everywhere appeal, yours is the opportunity to explore the refined village charms of Hawksburn, the sass and sophistication of Toorak Road and the endless energy of Chapel Street, all on foot while the fresh produce of Prahran Market, plenty of city-bound trams and trains from Hawksburn Railway Station are also at your doorstep.
