An Unrepeatable Opportunity: The Crown Jewel of Henty House, Circa 1920s
Commanding the top of the iconic Henty House, this meticulously designed, one-of-a-kind residence redefines inner-city luxury. Spanning two impressive levels, it presents a rare opportunity in Melbourne’s tightly held penthouse market, where homes of this calibre are seldom available.
From the moment you enter Residence 704, refined elegance is unmistakable. Inspired by the sophistication of a London townhouse, the bespoke renovation showcases stunning herringbone flooring, abundant natural light, and carefully placed skylights. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, delivering a penthouse of exceptional distinction, intelligence, and timeless style.
The upper level is dedicated to entertaining, featuring a generous open-plan living and dining area that extends seamlessly to two balconies. The showpiece kitchen blends classic charm with contemporary refinement, finished in exquisite Calacatta Vagli-one of Italy’s most coveted marbles. Premium appliances include a SMEG induction cooktop, oven and microwave, a double integrated Godrej fridge-freezer, Asko dishwasher, and BILLI Zip tap providing instant boiling, chilled and sparkling water. Storage is cleverly concealed throughout, while the custom upholstered leather bench with integrated storage perfectly complements the bespoke mid-century dining table.
A true entertainer’s retreat, the custom bar-accented by backlit smoked mirrors-creates a sophisticated ambience alongside a gas log fireplace, ideal for hosting or relaxing with a favourite vintage.
The lower level offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms off the entrance hall. The master suite is a luxurious sanctuary, featuring custom wallpapered ceilings, extensive built-in robes, a separate walk-in robe, and a striking ensuite with twin Nero Marquina marble basins and Sussex tapware. Two additional bedrooms, each with its own character, are serviced by a central bathroom of equal quality. Double-glazed windows ensure exceptional quiet, comfort, and energy efficiency throughout.
Additional highlights include Pittella Italian-designed door hardware, zoned ducted heating and cooling, and secure video intercom entry.
A standout feature rarely found in the CBD: a private, secure double garage with an adjoining wine/storage room, finished in Italian terrazzo flooring and offering approximately 300-bottle capacity. Multiple laneway access points provide effortless entry to Collins, William, and Little Collins Streets, while guest permit parking adds further convenience-making this one of the city’s most practical and desirable residential buildings.
Positioned within the prestigious legal precinct, you are just moments from Collins Street, Bank Place, acclaimed cafés, restaurants, and boutique shopping.
This exceptional residence delivers an enviable lifestyle and represents outstanding value for a penthouse of this quality and scale.
