Rooftop pool is a major drawcard

Is this the Gold Coast’s best private rooftop pool? Buyers will have to splash the cash if they want this Broadbeach penthouse with its own private rooftop pool, on the market for the first time in 20 years.

The 897sq m apartment at 177 Old Burleigh Rd is on level 30 and is being marketed by Ray White Burleigh Group agents Elly Malan and Rachael Crompton.

“It’s absolutely gorgeous up there,” Ms Malan said.

“It’s just so calm and peaceful, particularly at sunset, and looking down on the waves rolling in, it’s almost like they’re in slow motion.

“It’s a one-of-a-kind location – I’m calling it, it’s the Coast’s best private rooftop pool.”

The full floor five-bedroom fivebathroom penthouse also includes a bath with 180 degree windows overlooking the Hinterland, while the crystal Swarovski chandeliers and imported Italian marble floors give it a uniquely European feel.

“The grandeur just hits you when you walk through the foyer – it’s almost impossible to describe,” Ms Crompton said.

“The chandeliers, the marble flooring, the oversized formal living and dining areas – to say it’s opulent is an understatement.

“The master bedroom suite is a spectacle in itself with that freestanding bath under the domed skylight in the ensuite.

“The views are just incredible. I have never seen such a beautiful residence in all my years of selling property.”

Ms Malan said the prestige market remained buoyant.

“We don’t anticipate the market changing with so much demand and not much supply,” Ms Malan said.

“Sky-homes rarely come on the market on the Coast, particularly in beachfront towers, making this (Carmel by the Sea) an exceptional opportunity.

“The building itself sits on 8000sq m of land, with an indoor and outdoor pool, tennis court, gymnasium, and steam room.”
