Grand penthouse featuring an enviable address and deluxe proportions

This outstanding penthouse in a low-rise architect-designed building opposite Parliament House boasts a huge, covered balcony with northerly views to Black Mountain and a similar sized terrace to the rear, inspiring an easy, outdoor entertaining lifestyle. The unit also features luxurious interior elements that make it just as enjoyable to spend time indoors, such as a feature gas fireplace in the living room, a sunlit library or media room and a separate study. The contemporary kitchen has a great aspect, allowing winter sunlight to reach deep into the main living areas.

The outdoor spaces aren't the only ones with oversized proportions here. Four secure auto parking places provide excellent alternatives for motoring and cycling enthusiasts, while three large bedrooms include the massive master, which has a walk-through wardrobe, access to the back terrace, and a large ensuite. This modern home is designed for solitude and aesthetic appeal, with elegant rooms in earthy tones and elevated fixtures that complement the sophistication of its surroundings.

With Kingston, Manuka, Lake Burley Griffin, and several of Canberra's prominent icons, museums and galleries all within short walking distance, you can enjoy an enviable quality of life while exploring the finest offerings of the capital.
