Developed by award winning, design driven developer, Neometro with architecture by award winning MAArchitects and interiors by award winning Clare Cousins Architects this two bedroom penthouse-style apartment with 180 degree views of the city and Royal Park is breathtaking.
Situated in this ground-breaking development combining community and sustainable design boasting a NatHERS (Nationwide Housing Energy Rating Scheme) rating of approx. 7.5 stars. Rooftop solar for the common areas and recycled grey water for the lush community garden meticulously managed by keen resident gardeners you can be involved a little or as much as you like. The communal rooftop with 360 degrees of Melbourne features a BBQ, communal dining area, sun lounges, and even the iconic Hills Hoist.
This cool south and west facing apartment features high exposed concrete ceilings, two double bedrooms with floor to ceiling BIRs, European Oak flooring throughout, a bespoke bathroom with terrazzo tiling and ceramic vanity sink, and custom built cabinetry.
The second bedroom features a study nook with two windows ideal for a work from home office to gaze out at the expansive park, city, and heritage rooftop views.
The bespoke, wow factor kitchen has integrated Fisher and Paykel appliances including the refrigerator, freezer, and dish draw that could be a gallery finish with mirrored splashbacks, custom built dark timber look cupboards, stainless steel benchtops with accessible pantry and bin system.
Ample bespoke entry storage encapsulates a rare double doored linen and storage cupboard and inbuilt bookcase shelving.
In addition, the property features an architectural white timber paneled wall, concealed heating and cooling, and 100% wool carpets.
Crossflow ventilation abounds creating a cooling breeze with the opening of south facing double glazed floor to ceiling picture windows and sliding doors combined with ceiling fans and further double glazed windows to the west.
Sustainable housing is great for the environment but also the hip pocket with long term reduced energy costs with an embedded electricity network and passive design with natural light streaming in from the south facing picture windows. When night hits, track lighting creates soft and directed mood lighting.
Other savings are super-fast, commercial internet connections shared by the whole building for a lower individual cost, access to car-sharing and public transport with the train and tram moments away which lessens the need for a private car space. A walkability score of 92 has been given. Not to mention the extensive public realm works planned by Moreland Council to upgrade Wilson Avenue which will further enhance the vibrant, pedestrian accessibility of the Jewell Station urban village https://conv ersations.moreland.vic.gov.au/wilson2
With cafes and restaurants that abound in Broadsheet in Sydney Road and surrounds and Barkly Square shopping across the road, as well as the 19 Tram to the Medical and University Precinct this property combines sustainable living with the ideal urban village.
Rarely does penthouse living and arguably the best apartment in the complex combine with a community building that looks like it could be the feature article in Green Magazine.
