High above the pines, overlooking the sea and the city's most iconic coastline, Penthouse 1001 crowns The Eaton as its defining masterpiece - a singular residence of architectural precision, composure and coastal grandeur. This is Glenelg's most elevated vantage point, with an uninterrupted 180-degree panorama sweeping from Seacliff to the Marina and the lights of the square below. Here, the rhythm of waves and the slow movement of the sun become part of daily life.
Designed by SMFA Architects, built by Schiavello Construction, and managed by Milestone Project Management, The Eaton is a project of legacy - a collaboration led by Taplin, whose name has shaped Glenelg's past and now its future. Penthouse 1001 embodies that same legacy in a single, unforgettable home.
From its 16-metre-wide western frontage, every space is drawn to light and view. Full-height glazing stretches the entire living edge, with direct balcony access from every bedroom except the master and office. The effect is extraordinary: an apartment that feels suspended between sky and sea. Morning light flows through the open-plan living and dining, while dusk paints the horizon in amber and rose. Above the Norfolk Pines, you can trace the coastline south to Aldinga or look down onto the hum of Moseley Square - connected yet completely removed.
The 258 m² single-level layout has been crafted for ease and grandeur in equal measure. Engineered timber floors lead through a wide gallery-like corridor, opening to vast living areas designed for both quiet retreat and elegant entertaining. The butler's pantry anchors a chef's kitchen finished in Travertine Zamora natural stone and Notaio Walnut joinery, complemented by a full SMEG Dolce Stil Novo appliance suite - pyrolytic and steam ovens, 900 mm induction cooktop, integrated dishwasher, and integrated Fisher & Paykel French-door fridge/freezer. LED-backlit cabinetry, brushed-nickel fixtures and medium-bronze detailing create a palette of warmth, contrast and timeless sophistication.
The master suite forms a private wing - a tranquil sanctuary with dressing zone, ensuite of porcelain Silverstone Bianco tiles, and bespoke vanity in Kirec stone. Each additional bedroom captures its own view or balcony connection, ensuring every occupant experiences the full breadth of this extraordinary outlook. A separate office, three bathrooms, and abundant internal storage complete the plan, all beneath 2.7 m ceilings that amplify light and air.
The Eaton's design philosophy is defined by its coastal restraint: sand-toned materials, cross-ventilation, and natural textures that age beautifully in sea air. Even from its topmost level, the experience is profoundly grounded - tactile, breathable, human. The balcony becomes an extension of the interior - wide, sheltered and connected - inviting its owners to open the sliding glass, let the breeze drift through, and merge dining, kitchen and living into one continuous expanse above the bay.
Beyond the apartment itself lies a community built for permanence. A pet-friendly corporation, efficient shared spaces that minimise outgoings, and secure dual carparks in prime position with quick Durham Street access make daily life effortless. Every residence enjoys its own "picture frame" view across Glenelg's landscape; Penthouse 1001 holds the final and finest outlook - the ultimate expression of this coastal evolution.
This is more than a home - it is a generational investment in South Australia's most enduring coastal address. Never to be built out. Never to be replicated. The Crown Residence at The Eaton stands as the defining expression of contemporary seaside luxury, where legacy meets light and every day ends with the sea at your feet.
