About this property
Abode, Melb City Centre, Sub-Penthouse
Modern & trendy 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom (monsoon showers and Japanese style deep soaking spa bath), 53rd floor penthouse apartment in Melbourne's most iconic building, overlooking the Melbourne city skyline with infinite panoramic views.
This stunning apartment is set within a new state of the art resort/health & well-being retreat setting with a heated, black granite, infinity edge lap pool, spa/jacuzzi, a dry sauna, a separate steam room, an amazing gym with all the equipment you could dream of, a recreational lounge with big screen LED TV, table tennis table and pool table, and a BBQ/dining entertainment area with great views. This is the ultimate city cosmopolitan retreat!!
Besides these luxury recreational options on the 9th floor, there is even more: You will have exclusive access to the entire 55th floor health & wellbeing recreation area: separate dry and steam sauna, massage treatments, gym, spa, fireplace lounge area, dining table - with amazing views which is reserved just for the penthouse top level apartments.
The apartment has everything you could wish for, 3 LED Flat screen TV's (32" in both bedrooms) and a 43" Samsung 3D LED Smart TV (with a 3D Blu-ray player) great for streaming video (YouTube) checking email, surfing websites & aps using our superfast brand new NBN (Australian Broadband network) with a super generous 100GB data usage allowance per month. There are also iPod stereo docks and a Ipod music tower and an Ipod clock radio. We also have lots of cable TV stations (Foxtel entertainment package).
The modern kitchen, with stone bench tops and a huge kitchen island, also has everything you will need. Miele stainless steel appliances (full oven, cook top, dishwasher) convection microwave, huge fridge/freezer with water dispenser, as well as lots of small appliances.
Everything in the apartment is provided (just bring your toothbrush) such as quality linen, super big bath sheets & towels and, most important, it has two comfortable 'heavenly' queen beds with a quality thick mattress w/fluffy toppers.
The apartment has two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The apartment has a modern décor and features a comfortable 4 seater leather couch with a chaise, contemporary furniture, and original art works depicting Melbourne scenes by Australian artist Helen Pynta. For atmosphere, we have lava lamps and accent lighting and all the LED halogen lights have dimmer switches. There is quality Australian hardwood flooring throughout.
To keep you warm in winter and cool in summer we have central heating and air conditioning (a must in the hot summer months in Melbourne!). The apartment is light, airy, quiet & super private (and does not look into other buildings) which is a rare find, being in the CBD.
This apartment is centrally located with a boutique shopping centre across the road (food court, shops, supermarket, restaurants, and coffee shops), theatres and movie houses within a short stroll.
Public transport by bus, tram and train is right across the road. Famous Lygon Street, Carlton, with its buzzing restaurants and cafes, ice creameries and boutiques is just across the road. The heart of the city's shopping mecca, Swanston street, and the famous Bourke Street mall are just a 5 min stroll away.
.
Near all city centre attractions and Yarra River.
