The Eastbourne Penthouse

The Eastbourne Penthouse occupies the entire upper floor of one of East Melbourne’s most distinguished residential towers, delivering a sky-level experience of the city that is, quite simply, without peer. From this rarefied elevation, the Melbourne CBD glitters to the west, the Fitzroy Gardens spread their canopy of elms below, and on clear mornings the horizon stretches to the Dandenong Ranges in the east. Day and night, the panorama is arresting.

The apartment itself is an exercise in considered restraint — a collaboration between the developer and a leading Melbourne interiors practice that has produced rooms of genuine weight and texture. The principal living and dining area occupies over 120 square metres of open plan, its floor-to-ceiling glazing framing the skyline like a painting that shifts with every hour. A gas fireplace anchors the winter mood; in summer, the space flows directly onto the wraparound terrace.

That terrace is the penthouse’s masterstroke — a full 80 square metres of tiled outdoor living with integrated planting, a built-in kitchen station, and a spa bath positioned to look directly across the treetops toward the city lights. It is the kind of outdoor space that makes the climate irrelevant.

The four bedroom suites are generous and private, each with its own ensuite. The principal bathroom is clad entirely in Statuario marble with a double-head rain shower and freestanding stone bath — a space that functions as both sanctuary and spectacle. Three secure basement car spaces and private lift access complete an offering that represents the apex of Melbourne apartment living.
