Penthouses, by nature, draw on lofty notions of living (literally) taken to new luxurious heights.
The penthouse of the Harrington Collection in the heart of Sydney’s The Rocks illustrates such ascendant notions perfectly, boastings some of the most intimate views across city rooftops, to the icons of Sydney Harbour and beyond.
The 483sqm 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 3-car parking residence spans two levels and sees a heightened level of design by international design firm FJMT and while the meticulous interiors were curated by Australian designer David Hicks, with close attention paid to the heritage elements of the Harrington Street site.
Within, expect a stunning interplay of light and space through floor to ceiling windows combined with a light palette of timber joinery, herringbone oak floors and the Harrington Collection’s signature monolithic stone featured throughout.
The expansive living zone features an open fireplace and is complemented by an entertainer’s kitchen and butler’s pantry — fitted with premium Wolf appliances, including gas cooktop, wall oven, steam oven, warming drawer, Miele integrated dishwasher, Subzero integrated fridge, freezer and wine fridge. The butler’s pantry is also appointed with a second Miele dishwasher and Subzero under bench wine fridge.
Complementing the living zone is an expansive 139sqm terrace that includes a spa, integrated barbecue and landscaped garden beds — ideal for entertaining and enjoying the panoramic harbour views.
Further, the residence sees three-bedroom sanctuaries — each with a sumptuous ensuite fitted with marble tiling — with the master also boasting a walk-in robe and dressing room. A fourth bedroom or home office is fitted with a bathroom, wet bar and Subzero wine fridge.
As part of the Harrington Collection, the residence sees a full-time concierge alongside a common entertainer’s rooftop terrace, lounge area, kitchen and bar.

The Westpac-Melbourne Institute Consumer Sentiment Index slipped to 84.6 in September from 85.0 in August

SYDNEY—Australian consumer confidence fell in September amid concerns about job security as economic growth slows to a crawl.
The Westpac-Melbourne Institute Consumer Sentiment Index slipped 0.5% to 84.6 in September from 85.0 in August.
While cost-of-living pressures are becoming a little less intense and fears of further interest rate rises have eased, consumers are becoming more concerned about where the economy may be headed and what this could mean for jobs, said Westpac’s Head of Australian Macro-Forecasting, Matthew Hassan.
Consumers remain concerned about rising inflation, which is stoking concerns that interest rates may rise further, Hassan added.
The report comes a week after data showed the economy barely registered a pulse in the second quarter as consumer spending dropped sharply.
On-year GDP growth in the second quarter was the weakest since the early 1990s, excluding the pandemic years.
At the same time, the Reserve Bank of Australia continued to signal that interest rate cuts are unlikely in the near term, while adding that under certain circumstances a further hike in interest rates may be needed.
The RBA remains concerned about price growth, with core inflation remaining stubbornly elevated at nearly 4.0% on year in the second quarter.
Still, while consumers are downbeat, economists expect spending to regather momentum over coming quarters as income tax cuts delivered in July boost household budgets.
