Property of the Week: 6601/35 Queensbridge Street, Southbank

High above Melbourne’s vibrant Southbank precinct on the 66th floor of Prima Tower, there is a stately sky high home capturing sweeping views of the city’s best assets.

Developed by Schiavello Group, with interiors by Bates Smart’s renowned director of interior design Jeff Copolov, this bespoke fully-furnished penthouse is an inner city box ticker residence.

Jamie Mi, co-listing agent and head of the international division at Kay & Burton, said the house-sized apartment is an unrivalled Melbourne listing.

“This property offers hotel-style living with amazing entertainment spaces, lounges, and an infinity pool with what is probably the best 360-degree view of Melbourne,” she says, adding that the penthouse had already garnered global attention, particularly from across Southeast Asia.

“The masterpiece delivers breathtaking views and a rare opportunity to enjoy an unparalleled lifestyle in what is arguably Melbourne’s finest penthouse.”

A high-speed elevator soars to the top floor where the single-level four-bedroom apartment features 660sq m of living space with walls of windows and panoramic views of Southbank, Albert Park, Royal Botanic Gardens, Port Phillip Bay, and the rest of Melbourne’s skyline.

The heart of the home is its north-facing living space, characterised by clean lines, timeless design, and sophisticated finishes. This area seamlessly integrates multiple formal and informal living and entertaining zones, offering the ultimate vantage point for New Year’s Eve fireworks.

Built in 2015, the penthouse has been held onto by the developer and is only now coming to market for the first time.

Not quite a decade old, the premium finishes are state of the art with a food connoisseur’s dream kitchen and butler’s pantry featuring 2 Pac polished cabinetry, marble surfaces as well as Gaggenau and Liebherr appliances.

A central dining room is flanked by an expansive formal living area and separate family room with ample space for a study to one side and a meals area to the other off the kitchen.

There are two accommodation wings including a lavish main bedroom suite with a spa ensuite, dressing room and views of the city and Yarra River. Another bedroom on the same side of the floor plan has a built-in wardrobe and ensuite while the two additional bedrooms on the alternative wing have adjoining bathrooms.

A second living space with a full kitchen means the versatile footprint offers up the option to create a self-contained apartment with its own private entrance.

Prima Tower residents have access to a host of hotel-style amenities including an infinity pool with spa, a gym and lounge area, private dining room, a second pool with an outdoor terrace, a private cinema, plus a 24-hour concierge service.

The Prima penthouse has five car spaces on title and is close to luxury boutiques, five-star restaurants such as the acclaimed Nobu and Rockpool, and the Crown Entertainment Complex.

The estimated sale price: $15.5 million and $17 million.
