A rare and opulent offering in the heart of Barangaroo.
2 min
If you’ve ever ventured around the newly established precinct of Barangaroo—one of Sydney’s most important waterfront renewal projects in decades—it will become immediately apparent just how extensive its re-development has been. What once was a gasworks site and container terminal is now a thriving oasis in central Sydney; a new waterside precinct with restaurants, bars and more that locals and tourists alike flock to year round.
Not surprisingly, it has also become a highly desirable place to live. Enter 5903/1A Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo —a three-bedroom, three-bathroom luxury apartment on Level 59 of Crown Sydney’s One Barangaroo locale.
Seldom do property listings like this become available, particularly so soon after its completion (the apartment is less than two years old). Providing all the luxurious amenities and service one can expect from such a location, this expansive home—which is just one of 79 residential apartments—is opulent in every sense of the word.
This residence represents the pinnacle of luxury living at 5903/1A Barangaroo Avenue, with panoramic views of both Darling Harbour and the Sydney Opera House. Featuring three spacious bedroom suites, each with adjoining ensuites, the residence is suited to both family members and their guests who can meet in the entertaining area where attention to detail, particularly in its design, is apparent. Materials include marble, artisan timber and leather interiors, chosen to complement designer lighting fixtures and a world-class chef’s kitchen with a bookend Calacatta benchtop and Sub Zero fridges.
Living in such surroundings calls for the hospitality and service Crown has come to be known for. Residents have access to six-star hospitality establishments with priority seating—as well as a residents-only bar and restaurant—a dedicated pool and private tennis court, valet service, and even room service should you desire.
Above all else, Barangaroo South is brimming with activity; once a neglected and inaccessible area of Sydney, now residents and visitors will benefit from the dynamic cultural, residential, business and retail hub that Barangaroo has become, yet is only moments from the city’s CBD precinct.
A win-win for young couples, downsizers, and families young and old who aspire to enjoy the best of city-living without compromising on a premium lifestyle.
