LISTING ANNOUNCEMENT




Please note there is ongoing construction taking place across the road from the building. Work typically occurs Monday to Friday, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and may generate some daytime noise. While the apartment itself remains fully accessible, quiet during evenings, and unaffected in terms of comfort or amenities, this environment may not be ideal for guests who are highly sensitive to daytime noise.

ON THE 22ND FLOOR, ABOVE IT ALL

Imagine waking up on the 22nd floor with nothing between you and the Melbourne skyline but glass. The Shrine of Remembrance sits directly below, Carlton Gardens stretches out to the north, and hot air balloons drift past at eye level in the early morning light. This is what you see before you've even had your coffee.



Bronte doesn't just have a view. It lives inside one. Every room, every angle, every quiet moment in this apartment is framed by one of Melbourne's most extraordinary urban panoramas. Curl up on the sofa as the city shifts from gold to grey in the evening. Take your wine to the balcony and watch the lights come on across Southbank. Feel the particular stillness that only comes from being high above everything.



And when you're ready to come back down, the NGV is a ten minute walk. The Botanical Gardens are at your feet. The Yarra is just beyond. Melbourne's best is all around you, and Bronte puts you right at the centre of it.
