Ideally positioned moments from Malvern Village, this remarkable full-floor Penthouse sets a new benchmark for luxury living. With panoramic views and exquisite finishes, it’s a home that captivates and caters to those with a taste for the exceptional. Created by esteemed developer Peter Gibson (Gibson Developments) and brought to life with architecture and interiors by the acclaimed Bruce Henderson, this jewel in the crown blends bold design with bespoke craftsmanship to set a new benchmark for the precinct. Step from your private lift into an expansive 500 sqm (approx.) residence where floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views and flood the home with natural light. The immediate impression is one of scale, serenity and refined design — perfect for those who value understated luxury. At the heart of the home, the main living space is open, effortless and meticulously refined. Generous proportions and a sophisticated material palette create an environment equally suited to elegant entertaining or quiet retreat. A cocktail lounge featuring a stunning illuminated onyx marble bar opens to one of two landscaped terraces by renowned designer Jack Merlo. A second entertainer’s terrace seamlessly extends the kitchen and living area, running along the northern façade towards the master bedroom and offering a tranquil retreat. Overlooking a stunning gas and solar-heated pool with a built-in daybed, both terraces provide multiple zones for relaxation and entertaining. The gourmet kitchen is impeccably appointed with an oversized marble island, bespoke cabinetry and premium Sub-Zero and Miele appliances — including two of the apartment’s four integrated dishwashers — complemented by a concealed butler’s pantry. Imagine waking up in the lavish master suite which is a serene sanctuary replete with retractable ceiling-mounted TV, sleek custom joinery, expansive walk-in robe and palatial ensuite with freestanding bath, as well as majestic sunrise views.
