Penthouse with rooftop pool listed with price guide of $5 million to $5.5 million
A swish penthouse with a whole level for a private swimming pool is the crowning glory of this Melbourne apartment.
Listed with a price guide of $5 million to $5.5 million, the four-bedroom sky home is the statement residence in the Essence building at 68 Black Street in Brighton.
The elite suburb is known for its salubrious homes, but this property goes above and beyond, thanks to its pool in the clouds.
Crafted by Bruce Henderson Architects and Interiors and boutique developer Kervale Group, the double-storey apartment has a curvaceous ribbon staircase and a lift.
A north-oriented terrace wraps the first level, flowing off the main bedroom, and open-plan living and dining area. Twinkling city views are a given from its lofty position.
Prospective buyers will discover a marble and timber kitchen with wine storage and a butler’s pantry, three bedrooms, including an enviable main with a luxury walk-in wardrobe, a soaking bath in the en suite, and chevron oak floors.
Venture a floor above for the ultimate at-home resort.
“Above, a sparkling pool and sky terrace take in cinematic city and treetop views, creating a peerless al fresco domain entirely removed from the street below,” the Domain listing says.
The plush rooftop, which also has day beds and a barbecue, is a rare find.
“The scale, the craftsmanship, the exclusivity of the amenities – it all sets a new benchmark,” Kay & Burton Bayside agent Alex Schiavo says.
“It feels more like a private residence in the sky than a traditional apartment, and that’s what makes it so special.”
Schiavo is privately marketing the property, which is on the doorstep of the premium Church Street shopping and restaurant precinct.
“Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare in the bayside,” he says. “To have a private pool, rooftop terrace and city views of this scale, all within a few steps of Church Street, is rare.
“Essence delivers a level of amenity and architectural sophistication often found in inner-city developments, yet it’s anchored in Brighton’s heart. It redefines the expectation of apartment living in the area.”
Schiavo says the interest in the property is coming from buyers in different stages of life.
“We’re seen strong interest from local downsizers who want to remain connected to Brighton’s lifestyle but without compromising on space or privacy,” he says.
“Equally, we’re seeing growing demand from professional couples and families who are drawn to the bayside lifestyle. It really appeals to those accustomed to high-end living who want convenience, security and quality in equal measure.”
The penthouse has parking for three vehicles.
Brighton’s unit median price is $1.311 million, up 2 per cent over 12 months and 21.7 per cent over five years, according to the latest Domain House Price Report.
The suburb’s median house price of $2.89 million is one of Melbourne’s highest.
