12/120 Murray Street, CaulfieldVIC

Above a peaceful leafy street atop the boutique La Riviere complex, this oversized penthouse apartment by Perkins Architects and KBMV Developments sets a high benchmark for light-filled design, quality and lifestyle excellence. Designed to extend outdoors and accentuate the already substantial footprint, it reveals an impressive sense of space with its high ceilings, spanning two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms and an expansive indoor-outdoor layout that adapts to various needs.

A long entrance hallway with oak flooring introduces the exceptional proportions, flowing past a hotel-worthy bathroom and two queen-sized robed bedrooms, including a main suite with a private ensuite. The sun-drenched open-plan living and dining domain benefits from al-fresco connections and the warmth of a gas fireplace, drawing in natural light and opening to an enormous terrace that stretches out with sunset views over the neighbourhood. A house-sized gourmet kitchen, appointed with stone benchtops, premium Miele appliances and a walk-in pantry, supports the avid host, while a clever dining area concealed by sliding doors offers flexibility as a home office, additional living or for full-scale entertaining. Other features include ducted heating and cooling, secure keypad and keyless entry, video intercom, a European laundry and secure basement parking and storage via lift access.

Set within walking distance to Hawthorn Road trams, Princes Park and the newly built Woolworths, and moments from Elsternwick and Glen Huntly stations, it enjoys both privacy and proximity to some of the area's most popular hotspots, making it a standout in size, location and finish.
