“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.” Coco Chanel

Penthouse living rarely comes packaged in such an elegant fashion. Light-filled and evoking Paris chic, the blue-chip art deco property is in one of the Eastern Suburb’s premiere pockets -tastefully updated, peaceful and private. This is a neighbourhood of consulates, captains of industry and professionals who wish for only the best this city can offer.

Leafy outlooks, a quiet location and through breezes bring serenity to the eastern penthouse of Ellington, a three-storey award-winning block of six. An opportunity to gain a foothold in such a coveted area with property of this quality is rare.

Enter the penthouse and the grandeur of yesteryear unfolds, from the sense of entry granted by a large foyer to the high ceilings with art deco features, original floorboards and arches. Entertaining here is delightful with expansive living rooms flowing past windows to a charming sunroom big enough to hold a dining table for eight.

The stylish main bedroom has floor to ceiling built-ins, plush carpeting and a romantic bay window beneath which are classic banquette seats that double as storage. The second and third bedrooms are both large, the second featuring floor-to-ceiling built-ins, while the third has been opened (easily reverted) to adjoin the living room and is currently configured as a formal dining.

Other attractive features include a kitchen with stone bench tops, Miele appliances and integrated fridge. An oversized laundry sits conveniently by the kitchen, with ample storage cupboards and even more attic storage. Another door off the laundry leads to a second bathroom with shower. The white-tiled main bathroom is a pleasure to enter, with a deep bath and glass paneled shower.

Ellington’s eastern penthouse epitomizes graceful living. A must-see for discerning buyers seeking opulence combined with size, all mod cons and privacy. Conveniently located close to chic Double Bay, upscale shopping, the CBD, beaches and the inimitable lifestyle offered by the Eastern Suburbs.
