Penthouse/41A Black Street, Brighton, VIC, 3186, Australia

Born of an inspired collaboration between award-winning CARR Architects and renowned developer Fortis, this brand new and grandly proportioned 3 bedroom Penthouse creates a genuine sense of occasion as it sits unequivocally at the pinnacle of bayside residential excellence. Perched majestically atop the much-anticipated Pillar & Tide building, this boutique residence flaunts a perfect synergy with its exclusive Brighton setting, just a gentle stroll from the heart of Church Street's iconic café and dining scene.

Under soaring 3.25 metre ceilings and with magnificently crafted floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors, the sense of light and proportion here is extraordinary. Without sacrificing any of its privacy, the open-plan kitchen / dining / living is seamlessly connected to the joy of a wrap-around balcony that is equipped with a built-in BBQ and certain to delight entertainers, while basking in the sunlight of its preferred north-eastern orientation.

Crafted with the aspiring gourmet chef in mind, the kitchen is underpinned by a suite of top-of-the range Miele appliances – including a pyrolytic oven, cooktop, warming drawer and integrated dishwasher – all complemented by an integrated Liebherr refrigerator and the extensive use of Signorino's 'New Grey Tundra' surfaces. The result is unquestionably dramatic.

Intelligently designed with an eye to the lifestyle requirements of today, a semi-attached second living room has also been finished with built-in desk space that caters perfectly to the increasingly blurred lines between home and working spaces.

The relentless sense of private indulgence continues into the generously proportioned master suite, that itself flows through custom-built walk-in robes to the sanctuary of a five-star ensuite in which a frameless-screened shower is independent to an eye-catching bath. Meanwhile, the remaining bedrooms, themselves appointed with impressive built-in robes, enjoy convenient proximity to another bathroom that has been superbly themed to the master suite.

Accessed securely via video entry and with its own private, triple car garage, the home also features a laundry, powder room, wine cellar, central heating, air conditioning, an ambient gas log fireplace and automated block-out blinds.
