Elegant Penthouse Apartment Sanctuary

Expressions of Interest – Closing Tuesday, 27th of May at 6pm (unless sold prior)

Positioned atop the sought-after Nightingale Leftfield building, this striking penthouse apartment is one of only two on the top floor – offering elevated privacy, exclusive access, and uninterrupted city views. This is the first two-bedroom apartment to come up for sale in the tightly held Leftfield building, part of the renowned Nightingale Village – a community-focused, sustainability-driven precinct in the heart of Brunswick.

Completed in 2022 and designed by acclaimed Kennedy Nolan Architects, the apartment is defined by its beautifully layered materials, bold textures, and masterful use of colour and light. Every detail has been considered to create a sophisticated, highly liveable space.

Inside, two generous bedrooms feature block-out blinds, ceiling fans, soft wool carpeting, and gorgeous terracotta pure linen curtains that bring warmth and character to the space. The main bedroom enjoys direct access to the wide, covered balcony – an ideal spot to relax and take in the panoramic city skyline. The open-plan living and dining area flows seamlessly outdoors and includes a study nook and custom-built bookshelves – a perfect setup for working from home. The interiors are enriched by Kennedy Nolan’s distinctive palette and craftsmanship, balancing practicality with bold architectural expression. The dark-toned kitchen adds a modern edge, with terrazzo benchtops, timber veneer cabinetry, and premium integrated Fisher & Paykel appliances including an induction cooktop, oven, rangehood, and dishwasher. It’s thoughtfully designed to accommodate a small dining table and connect effortlessly to the living space.

The bathroom evokes a luxury spa atmosphere, complete with refined finishes, minimalist lines, and brass fixtures that add warmth and elegance. Additional features include engineered oak flooring, ceiling fans throughout, hydronic heating panels, and an integrated Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) system, which enhances air quality and energy efficiency. Common area energy is powered by solar, and the apartment’s electricity is purchased as 100% Green Power, in line with Nightingale’s sustainability ethos.

Residents have access to a beautifully designed rooftop garden with BBQ facilities and outdoor seating – perfect for entertaining with sweeping views of the Melbourne skyline. Practical amenities include shared laundry facilities with multiple machines, additional storage, two secure ground-level bike spaces, and intercom entry.

Set just moments from Sydney Road’s lively mix of cafés, restaurants, shops, trams, and markets, this is a rare opportunity to join a vibrant, engaged community in one of Melbourne’s most culturally rich neighbourhoods.
