15/137 McKean Street, Fitzroy North, Vic 3068

Commanding a prized penthouse position with spectacular city skyline views, this stunning 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence is an expansive Edinburgh Gardens precinct sanctuary. Perched privately and quietly above the O1A-designed Denton building, a secure boutique setting recognized at the Royal Australian Institute of Architects awards, this beautifully-enhanced penthouse apartment presents an outstanding low-maintenance, lock and leave lifestyle opportunity. Situated on the city’s edge over one of Fitzroy North’s most coveted treelined streets, a vast and versatile interior on solid hardwood floorboards is brilliantly accentuated by Il Fanale Italian light features, a gas log fireplace and split-system heating and cooling. Completely compelling from the outset, a substantial living and dining room where sliding doors open to a large entertainment balcony that showcases amazing city views, adjoins a gourmet kitchen dressed in stone that highlights a suite of Miele stainless-steel appliances. Flexibility is a sought-after feature of this extraordinary home that offers 2 spacious bedrooms with built-in robes, including a great-sized main flowing to a stylishly-updated ensuite (separate shower and Philippe Starck bath), while further is a third bedroom or executive study and a mezzanine space under a soaring ceiling that’s the perfect yoga retreat or additional study area. Other excellent attributes include a central bathroom (both bathrooms integrate solid messmate floating vanities crafted by Retrograde in Brunswick), a European laundry, intercom and security alarm, along with 2 car spaces and a storage cage in a secure garage with communal EV chargers. This remarkable Denton penthouse presents an unrivalled opening only moments to the 24-hectare Edinburgh Gardens, Fitzroy Pool, Queens Parade and North Fitzroy Villages, vibrant Smith and Brunswick Streets, schools, trams and train station.
