Sam Newman’s former Yarra’s Edge penthouse a rarity on the market
Multi-million dollar offering set to dazzle international buyers
Imagine living on top of the world at this luxurious Yarra’s Edge penthouse, once home to high-profile AFL legend and television personality Sam Newman.
In the heart of the CBD, the dazzling four-bedroom, three-bathroom showpiece at 4002/90 Lorimer Street, comes with a $4.55-$5 million price tag.
The exclusive property is one of only four 40th floor apartments in the premium residential and lifestyle precinct of Yarra’s Edge, according to Barry Plant Dromana director Stuart Rooke.
“It is a rare offering that has been realistically priced to meet the market,” he said.
“This is the Paris-end of Docklands, where quite a few high profile Melburnians call home.”
The penthouse in the building next door at 3701/100 Lorimer Street recently transacted for a record-breaking price, Mr Rooke added.
Newly listed with Mr Rooke’s office, the property has drawn steady enquiry from local owner-occupiers wanting to take their lifestyle to greater heights.
Mr Rooke also expected strong interest from interstate and overseas buyers seeking a base in Melbourne to enjoy the very best in urban living.
“This is an opportunity to upscale to a home with high-end amenities, timeless style, and unobstructed views that are nothing short of spectacular,” he said.
The current owners were originally drawn to the spacious family friendly floor plan but the sweeping vistas stole their hearts, according to Mr Rooke.
“They absolutely fell in love with the panoramic views, which are simply breathtaking,” he said.
Captured from every room, the ever changing scenery takes in the cityscape, rooftop lights, verdant parks, serene waterways, Port Phillip Bay and across the suburbs towards the Dandenong Ranges.
The property offers an unparalleled lifestyle in a coveted central location, within walking distance of South Wharf DFO and Promenade, Southbank and Crown Casino, award-winning restaurants and public transport options.
“It’s also set in a quality built tower that is almost 70 per cent owner-occupied,” Mr Rooke said.
An idyllic sanctuary with only one neighbour, the penthouse has private foyer entry, high security, a three-car garage with a storage cage, plus a private berth at the Yarra’s Edge Marina.
Just over 323sqm approx, it showcases banks of double-glazed windows and elevated ceiling heights, which create a bright and airy living environment.
Glass walls allow light to flood inside while seamlessly integrating indoor spaces with multiple balconies, making entertaining a breeze.
There are two living and dining zones, a chef's kitchen with Miele appliances, plus an indulgent main bedroom with a walk-in dressing room, spa ensuite and balcony.
Other features include a powder room, automated window furnishings and lighting, plus zoned ducted heating and cooling.
“This spacious penthouse with its awesome views and a free-flowing floorplan has scope to add personal touches,” Mr Rooke said.
“It offers an easy lock-up and leave lifestyle without compromising on quality and style.”
