Penthouse goes to top of the class

The term luxury hardly does this Main Beach residence justice. Great location, brilliant design, fantastic appointments and stunning views

AS far as penthouses go, this Main Beach beauty is up there with the best.

Spanning three levels in the residentialonly Pintari building on Cunningham Ave, the four-bedroom apartment offers unrivalled elegance with a rooftop pool, stateof-the-art finishes and million dollar views of the city, ocean and Broadwater.

Robert Graham, of Ray White Prestige, is marketing the property and describes it as the “jewel of beachside living”.

“This luxurious penthouse enjoys a commanding position blending inspiring contemporary design with unimaginable views,” Mr Graham said.

Vendor Meryvn Butcher bought the property off entertainment power couple Jackie and Billy Cross in 2009.

“(Our) favourite features were the north facing aspect of the penthouse and its panoramic views of the ocean and the Broadwater,” Mr Butcher said.

He spent big bucks on major renovations – the original staircase was removed and a new custom-made floating glass and stone staircase was installed.

Now one of the standout features, the staircase immediately captures your attention on entry of the property.

The wooden flooring was lime washed while the fourth bedroom on the lower level was converted into an office with an ensuite.

The apartment was also painted and recarpeted while an interior stylist furnished the property. The first floor features the family and dining rooms, kitchen, office and living area.

A soaring atrium over the living area allows floor to ceiling windows to capture the stunning ocean views.

Standout pendants create a luxurious ambience while a raised platform with builtin lights only adds to the ambience.

A built-in window seat overlooking the ocean provides yet another area to relax in this room.

Outdoor stairs leads up to a terrace and pool – the perfect place to entertain guests or unwind after a long day.

Back inside and the second level offers three bedrooms including the main with its walk-in wardrobe, luxury ensuite with freestanding bath and private balcony.

The Pintari building also offers its residents two pools, a tennis court, sauna, spa, and barbecue area.

Main Beach is a peninsula north of Surfers Paradise. Enveloped by three bodies of water – the Nerang River, the Broadwater and 6km of beachfront, the suburb’s total land area is six square kilometres.

What it lacks in size, it makes up for in features — Main Beach boasts five parks, covering almost 23 per cent of its area, and is home to a number of resorts, including Australia’s premier marine animal park, Sea World.
