Rising above its elite Sackville Ward environs to command sweeping mountain views, this expansive and luxurious penthouse apartment crowns The Grounds of Kew; an exclusive boutique complex by Beluah and architects Fender Katsilidis amid Paul Bangay landscaped gardens. Family-size proportions in a vast single-level setting define this stunning three bedroom, 3.5 bathroom domain paired with multiple alfresco areas in a secure setting accessed by private lift to only two other residences.

Full north-facing orientation with banks of double-glazed windows and dual sliding doors enhance a huge living and dining room with a spectacular outlook including the city and seamless connection to an extra-large terrace (gas, water, power) for breathtaking, sun-kissed outdoor entertaining. An adjoining kitchen is a culinary showpiece with its suite of Gaggenau appliances (induction, ovens, dishwasher, fridge/freezer), marble breakfast island and walk-in pantry with wine storage.

An entrance hallway leads to three deluxe bedrooms all with ensuites and views, highlighted by an exquisite main suite that boasts a separate fitted study area, custom-designed dressing room, spacious freestanding-bath ensuite and an east-facing private terrace capturing a beautiful vista of the Box Hill skyline and Dandenong Ranges. There’s also a full-size laundry, powder room, ducted heating/cooling, integrated speaker system, video intercom, oak floors and basement parking/storage.

Sophisticated, state-of-the-art and completely secluded, this extraordinary penthouse residence represents the peak of contemporary apartment living in one of Kew’s most distinguished neighbourhoods, close to leading private and primary schools, Cotham and Burke Roads’ trams, parklands, walking trails, Deepdene Village cafes, Balwyn cinema, Kew Junction and Balwyn shopping precincts, along with Box Hill Central, Westfield Doncaster and Camberwell Junction.
