Penthouse with golf green in Sydney is a par above
FOR the home buyer who wants and can afford all the luxury extras, this penthouse with a rooftop golf green could be yours for $14 million.
Known for their exclusive added extras, penthouses are usually a par above any ordinary apartment, but this one with a putting green on the terrace is a hole in one.
The price tag could however be a handicap for many as the prestige residence is expected to score about $14 million.
Sitting on the high-priced cul de sac of Billyard Ave in Elizabeth Bay, this extraordinary near new penthouse designed by award-winning architects Burton Katon Halliday, with interiors by Thomas Hamel, features 802sq m of indoor and outdoor space that also includes a grand fountain, exterior spa and wraparound balcony with harbourviews.
Covering the entire top floor of the boutique building of six strata units, the five-bedroom apartment also has six bathrooms and four car spaces on title.
Michael Pallier of Sotheby's International said the calibre of today's high end properties needs to make them stand out from the pack.
"This is definitely a selling point for the property, it's also a great talking point," said Mr Pallier who is a co-agent on the Elizabeth Bay apartment along with the Ballard Property Group.
"These days when people are paying top dollar for a special property, they want to know that their property will be special. It's unlikely the next-door neighbour is going to have a putting green on the terrace," he said.
While the unique golf green might be above par, the apartment ticks all the boxes that other penthouses in the harbour enclave do. There are extensive water views, a communal pool and rolling lawns and a jetty.
