503/881 High Street, Armadale, Vic 3143

At the most refined of developments, luxury isn’t just an aesthetic, it’s a lifestyle. Rewriting the codes of urban living is 881 Armadale, where architectural flair, inner-city convenience and commanding skyline views unite, right in the beating heart of one of Melbourne’s most desirable suburbs. Here, impeccable quality and cutting-edge design are befitting of a property developed by industry leader UAG (United Asia Group). 

Beyond the striking bluestone façade of 881 is one of the most prestigious units in the complex: 503, the sub-penthouse. Featuring Milanese-inspired design by BCS, the ultra-modern, sleek lines wouldn’t look out of place in the world’s finest hotels. Here, sumptuous touches such as polished wooden floorboards, plush, velvety carpets and fine marble are tastefully balanced with minimalistic concrete and timber batten ceilings. 

A feature fireplace is the centrepiece of the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, where full height, double-glazed sliding doors with an automated external louve sunshade brings a beautiful quality of light. These open onto a private rooftop terrace and pergola, a prime entertaining area beneath which the glittering city skyline unfolds. 

Storage is plentiful across three elegant bedrooms, including the master, with its walk-in wardrobe and spa-like marble bathroom with soaking tub. Completing this exceptional property is a study or fourth bedroom, butler’s pantry and generous three-car garage with storage. 

This is five-star resort-style living, where even the shared rooftop garden is meticulously curated to complement the overarching vision. Seamlessly integrating with the elegance of the building is landscape architecture by the esteemed studio of Jack Merlo, where a glass-mosaic-lined pool is flanked by luxury cabanas and expertly curated winter gardens.

From here, skyline views reach all the way to the CBD, just 7km away, and around leafy Armadale itself, with its charming period properties, parks, cafes, boutiques and sought-after schools. Superior style, convenience and location: these are all the elements that result in city living at its very finest.
