This extraordinary and rarely available, double-story penthouse is located in the coveted art deco and heritage-listed 'Temple Court', Collins Street. Originally constructed in 1924 as an office building in the Palazzo style, it is a substantial and impressively detailed example of the classical revival in modern architecture, in Melbourne during the 1920s.


Converted into a luxury apartment edifice in 2001, this architecturally significant building still houses the mural, known as 'The Eight Aboriginal Tribal Headmen', which was created in 1963 by major Australian artist, Mervyn Napier Waller housed in the lobby area - a wonderful extravagance for residents and guests alike! This penthouse offers spectacular panoramic views of Collins Street, the Yarra River, Bay and Melbourne City skyline from the elegant, full-floor aerie - this is more than just an apartment - it's a way of life!


Entry on the lower of the two levels encompasses the primary living spaces featuring: a large open plan living/dining room and contemporary kitchen, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls/doors; boasting both northern and southeasterly exposures and a stunning large private terrace balcony! Impressive details include: richly hued hardwood timber flooring, fireplace, high ceilings, guest powder room, and a convenient and discreet laundry. Upstairs the sumptuous corner master bedroom suite with stunning city views includes private ensuite and built-in-closets; plus second bedroom and exquisitely finished main bathroom.

This penthouse at Temple Court on Collins Street affords owners a private residential lobby, split-system heating/cooling, peerless security and single car park. A rare marriage of the ultimate in neoclassical elegance and modern sophistication, with the most spectacular views in all Melbourne! Designed for comfortable living, sophisticated entertaining and providing easy access to all the greatest attractions Melbourne has to offer, this sprawling Collins Street residence is truly unique.
