1 of 2Feel on top of the world at Alia, where the highest level is exclusively yours. With near new refined luxury and 360-degree uninterrupted views out to city skyscrapers, the bay and mountain ranges. Light-filled four-bedroom three-bathroom penthouse with generous spaces and huge Inge Jabara-landscaped terraces and architectural brilliance by Bruce Henderson Architects and Perkins Architects takes McKinnon living to a spectacular level. It’s a whole-of-top-floor private retreat in a boutique development, with approx. 200sqm of interior space and 200sqm of terrace space. This exceptional property ticks all the boxes, with secure custom-programmed lift access, free-flowing lounge and dining zones, and sky-high vistas all around you. The impressive kitchen has a massive 1.8-metre x 1.8-metre limestone island bench with breakfast bar, top-of-the-range appliances including Asko self-cleaning and combi ovens, dishwasher, induction cooktop and rangehood, and a Fisher & Paykel integrated French door fridge-freezer. The butler’s pantry has ample bench space and storage, a sink, and a wine fridge. Start the day in the sumptuous master suite that would look at home in a high-end resort. It’s designed with outdoor access and views to the terrace from both bedroom and ensuite, and includes custom-designed wardrobe spaces, a large freestanding bath for long soaks, and limestone surfaces. Functionality and precision design add a premium dimension, with video intercom entry and camera surveillance, limestone feature wall with a gas log fireplace, ducted air conditioning, laundry with Miele washer and dryer, remote-control blinds, European oak floors, three-car basement parking, and three large storage cages. Every day reveals a new view from this exclusive residence, and every night shows off city lights and spectacular sunsets. Plan on hosting New Year’s Eve parties to watch the city fireworks light up the sky, wake up to the sight of hot air balloons at sunrise, see ships sail across Port Phillip Bay, and love the vast openness that surrounds you. Easy-care landscaping centres around large pots of Mexican lilies, perimeters planted with rosemary and olive trees, five taps, and three mains gas outlets. Outstanding location is all about lifestyle convenience, from the artisan Lumos Bakery downstairs to the many shops, cafes and gyms that line McKinnon Road. McKinnon Secondary College is 600 metres (approx.) away, city-bound trains a five-minute walk, buses to Chadstone just a few steps away, Bentleigh shops, restaurants and parklands a 10-minute walk, and only a 10-minute drive to Brighton shops and the beach.
