In the hierarchy of Melbourne real estate, this is Position A – 17 Spring Street. Looking directly onto the prestigious Treasury Gardens and Parliament House, it’s surrounded by luxury brands, dining icons, private clubs, sporting colosseums. And, from Level 22, where just one spectacular customised residence occupies the entire floor, are views right across ever-changing city skyline, stretching from the mountains to the bay.

Completed in mid-2023 under the direction of the renowned Bates Smart Architects, this building is highly regarded for its prime position, exceptional design, world-class amenities and distinguished residents. But the owners of Level 22 elevated it even further by commissioning the sought-after Kestie Lane Studio to create an entirely bespoke interior, and the result is pure class.

On scale alone this residence is significant, its spans some 478sqm including three separate park front terraces. There are two exceptionally proportioned separate living zones – one vast, open and relaxed with a central dining area and a uber chic entertainers’ kitchen, that looks as good as it cooks and is serviced by a full butler’s pantry behind. The other living area exudes the charm of a private lounge, making it the ideal retreat for quiet moments or enjoying drinks with friends at the stylish built-in bar. This space boasts its own terrace, as do the other living zone and principal bedroom. Waking up here is to be greeted by park views and the surrounds typically associated with the best suites in the world’s best hotels.

There are three further ensuited bedrooms and a well-appointed private office which all enjoy views right across downtown Melbourne. Adding to the appeal is the rare and invaluable inclusion of four private car spaces – a true luxury in the CBD. This is all supported by a list of world class amenities offered by the building, including a 25-metre pool, residents lounge and dining room with a landscaped outdoor terrace, wine tasting room and cellar, plus an exemplary concierge service available night and day.

It’s the complete package and we know it will appeal to a lot of people looking for an apartment lifestyle without the compromise.
