606/174-180 Grafton St, Cairns City QLD 4870, Australia
A singular residence offering a level of amenity and space rarely found in the Cairns market, The Penthouse at Parkview on Grafton is offered for sale for just the 2nd time since construction.
Positioned atop Parkview, one of the last residential developments completed in the Cairns CBD, this 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is split across two levels and comprises an incredible 717m2 on title – bigger than a typical suburban block of land, let alone a home.
Starting with the lower level, the home demonstrates the high level of fit and finish expected of this HIA and Master Builder’s Award winning development, with cool tiles, generous living and dining and 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, the larger offering ensuite, walk-in and its own balcony access.
The kitchen is fully equipped and of a high standard, with induction cooking, European appliances, stone benches, island bench and even the wine fridge. The large main balcony offers a good flow through to the balcony, with remote control blinds and a view of the city scape through to the ocean.
Raise your eyes a little further and mount the glass staircase and you’ll begin to appreciate where this home truly shines, with a combination of indoor/outdoor living which rivals that of any other apartment in the Cairns market.
Where downstairs befits an executive home, up top fits the penthouse brief perfectly, with a spacious master bedroom with walk-in-robe and sumptuous ensuite, large office or nursery and open plan living currently configured to provide a media lounge complete with tiered cinema style seating and a separate lounge area.
From there, soaring ceilings and bifold glass are used to excellent effect, bringing the outside in and creating one of the finest entertaining spaces you’ll find in a home today as you step out to a one of a kind rooftop – on title, not simply exclusive use (an important distinction).
Step outside and you are greeted with all you need to entertain with the best, with stunning city and ocean views from the front, extending for 270 degrees to encompass skyline and mountain ranges. From the rooftop pool to the outdoor kitchen (with brand new appliances ready to install), walk the deck to low maintenance gardens, your own putting green and much more.
Beyond the already impressive entertaining, there is a further expanse of unimproved rooftop also on title, looking to the north and west over Munro Martin Parklands. Currently bare, there is scope to improve this to your own needs and tastes, subject to relevant approvals.
Importantly, the balance of the rooftop is inaccessible to any other resident – assuring complete privacy for 360 degrees.
Providing for the ever important practicalities, the home includes 2 allocated car spaces (side by side) in addition to 2 generous storage units adjacent to parking – both lockable.
Parkview itself offers an impressive residents’ lounge, lap pool, gymnasium and of course secure access throughout the building. Set across from the Munro Martin Parklands amphitheatre, 200m from the Performing Arts Centre and the greater Cairns Cultural Precinct, the property is within walking distance to world class restaurants, the Cairns Esplanade boardwalk and major shopping. Both domestic and international airports are within an easy, 10 minute drive.
