Taking in truly inspiring sights, this evocative penthouse owes its thoughtful flow and inspired palette to multi-award-winning designer Amanda Lynn, set atop an entirely unassuming ‘70s complex with uninterrupted frontage to park, sand, and sea.

Letting the home stand out from all others, a raked ceiling soars to a point high above a magnificent main level, joining all-day rays in fostering a bright, spacious ambiance. Promising endless functionality, a metal-frame glass partition ensures living and dining zones enjoy their own space, both able to take in the vistas so central to the home’s allure. Its swathes of striking stone stylishly complementing dark herringbone floors, a first-class kitchen is sure to excite the passionate cook, with inclusions spanning a large walk-in pantry, fully integrated fridge/freezer and separate drawer fridge, Miele induction cooktop and integrated dishwasher, and combination of oven, steam oven, and warming drawer, all from Neff. Merging inside and out, two sets of bifold doors reveal a wonderfully broad balcony, with morning coffees, afternoon barbecues, and night-time drinks all enlivened by views of the sandy shore, deep-blue bay, and entire city skyline.

Just as below, a raked ceiling affords a sense of airiness in three substantial, upstairs bedrooms, kept brilliantly quiet by sound-reducing glass and joined by outstanding robe space. With a luxe central bathroom serving two guest rooms, a sumptuous master is accompanied by a full-size dressing room and lavish ensuite; the latter glancing across Melbourne’s pre-eminent beach esplanade in Beaconsfield Parade. Blending designer chic with a standard of construction simply not seen today, highlights include pendant lights crafted both recently and in the ‘70s/‘80s, guest-room daybeds, comprehensive heating/cooling, full-height doors, intricate joinery, hot water independent from the building, a window-side workstation, concealed laundry, video intercom, lower-level powder room, storeroom, a lock-up garage, and extra car space.

Sensational placement means a car is rarely needed, with Albert Park Lake’s parkland, sporting fields, leisure trail, and Grand Prix circuit, Fitzroy Street’s famed culinary and afterhours scenes, the city-bound Light Rail, and picturesque foreshore all mere steps away.
