Seventeen floors up, somewhere between the skyline and your next personality upgrade, sits a penthouse that doesn't whisper luxury - it casually radiates it. With 146sqm (approx.) of internal space (yes, in the CBD take a moment) and a terrace so expansive it feels like it has ambitions of its own, this is Northbank Place at its most unapologetically extra. And just when you thought it couldn't get better - brand new carpets and blinds throughout. Fresh, flawless, and quietly saying, "you're welcome." Inside, the living zone stretches out like it refuses to be confined to just one purpose. Lounge? Dining? Work? Existential pondering while staring at the skyline? There's room for all of it - and then some. Natural light pours in from both the north and south (a rare double act in this building), wrapping the space in that "this feels different" kind of glow. Then the terrace. 89sqm (approx.) of pure main-character energy. Morning coffees hit differently here. So do sunset wines. With panoramic views sweeping from Port Phillip Bay to the Yarra River, across Southbank, the city skyline, and all the way to the Dandenong Ranges - it's less balcony, more private observation deck for your life. The kitchen is sleek and ready for whatever version of cooking you subscribe to - stone bench tops, stainless steel appliances, and just enough attitude. The master bedroom opens directly onto the terrace (because of course it does) and comes with its own ensuite sanctuary, while the second bedroom enjoys northern light and mirrored robes that may or may not encourage outfit checks you didn't plan on doing. A central bathroom with laundry ties it all together with quiet efficiency. And because practicality should still feel impressive: two secure car spaces, a storage cage, heating and cooling, video intercom, and an on-site building manager all play their part behind the scenes. Step outside and you're seconds from Crown, South Melbourne Market, trams, Southern Cross Station, and everything the city throws at you - except now, you get to retreat above it all. It's bold. It's oversized. It's slightly dramatic. And once you've seen it everything else might feel a little underwhelming.
