Limited Collection Penthouse Level 5 at Landmark Fairfax House

A rare opportunity to secure a residence in one of Melbourne's most cherished heritage buildings - Fairfax House.

Built in 1883 on a foundation of Malmsbury bluestone and designed by renowned architects Twentyman & Askew in the Italian Renaissance style, this Victorian-era treasure was originally owned by John Fairfax, founder of Fairfax Media and The Sydney Morning Herald. Now transformed into a boutique development of just 31 exclusive residences, Fairfax House remains tightly held and highly sought after. Located on the penthouse level, this magnificent three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is a unique offering in the heart of Melbourne's CBD.

Perfectly positioned on Little Collins Street, the residence enjoys abundant natural light, soaring ceilings, and tasteful modern renovations that complement its historic charm. The spacious open-plan living and dining area features polished timber floors and large arched casement windows that flood the space with light.

At the heart of the home is a stunning designer kitchen, boasting a generous island bench, premium stainless steel Asko appliances, an American industrial JennAir fridge, gas cooking, stone benchtops, and extensive storage with soft-closing drawers and cabinets - designed to impress and built for entertaining.

Spread across two levels, the apartment also offers a delightful outdoor courtyard, perfect for alfresco relaxing on warm summer evenings.

Two light-filled bedrooms with built-in robes open directly onto the serene courtyard, while a third bedroom and the staircase feature elegant Belle skylights that invite in natural light. The home includes two beautifully renovated bathrooms - one on each level - showcasing premium Italian tiles and fittings, with a walk-in shower downstairs and a bathtub upstairs.

Additional features include a separate laundry, a convenient ground-level storeroom, intercom entry, secure lift access, and an unbeatable location offering the ultimate city lifestyle.

Fairfax House is situated just steps from Melbourne's premier shopping, dining, and cultural destinations. Stroll through famous laneways and arcades to enjoy iconic locations such as Bourke Street Mall, Myer, David Jones, Collins Street luxury retailers, Emporium, H&M, and a host of acclaimed cafés, bars, and restaurants including Quando Quando, Trattoria Emilia, and Reine & La Rue. World-class universities and excellent public transport links are also just moments away.
