201/52 Black Street

Crowning the top floor of a boutique Brighton address, this extraordinary three-bedroom penthouse is the work of a globally assembled design team: renowned Australian architect Nicholas Day, New York-based global interior architect Gregory Tuck, and celebrated New York designer Meg Sharpe. The result is a residence of genuine international pedigree, with handcrafted finishes and state-of-the-art appointments carried through every room. Grand in scale and dramatic in presence, the 3.3-metre ceilings, chevron timber floorboards and bespoke timber wall panelling set the tone. The open-plan living and dining area is nothing short of spectacular: light-flooded, extraordinary in its proportions, anchored by a stone gas fireplace, and opening through French doors to an expansive wrap-around balcony delivering 360-degree views, from treetops across Brighton to the bay beyond. The divine Calcutta marble kitchen and grand butler's pantry are house-like in their proportions, showcasing Wolf and Gaggenau appliances, integrated Sub-Zero refrigeration, and custom joinery. The accommodation matches every expectation. The palatial main bedroom suite captures bay views, with a walk-in wardrobe worthy of a boutique and an opulent ensuite finished in Calcutta marble with artisan hand-laid tiling. Two further bedrooms each have their own ensuite, appointed to the standard of a world-class hotel suite, and open directly to the balcony. A dedicated study or cinema room with bespoke American oak millwork completes the accommodation. Further appointments include Restoration Hardware light fittings, electric blinds, keyless entry, lift access, a powder room, a generous laundry, smart home automation, zoned ducted heating and cooling, underfloor hydronic heating throughout, and three secured basement car spaces with private garage doors. 24-hour monitored security is included. Superbly positioned in the heart of Brighton, the penthouse sits just 200 metres from Church Street and Middle Brighton train station, with pristine beaches and the suburb's most prestigious private schools moments away. One of just five residences, this calibre of home will never be built again.
