5-bed Milan penthouse (Italy),€4,600,000

On 3 April 2024

In city living, Contemporary, Europe, High rise, Italy, luxury

Views over Milan are just one of the selling points of this luxurious penthouse apartment

For a suitably-luxurious and fashionable penthouse apartment in Italy’s capital of style – Milan – this two-floor, five-bed dwelling is ideal. Situated within the San Siro district, a culturally rich and green neighbourhood, there is approx. 600 m2 of accommodation on the top two floors of the prestigious Residenza Auriga that you may like to call home.

A large open-plan living and entertaining area dominates the space on the lower level

The impressive building has a lift (phew) and a 24-hour concierge service, and the penthouse on sale has been renovated and upgraded to deliver modern elegance in the heart of a stylish city.

Exquisitely designed and finished to a high standard, the apartment is the comfortable ‘pad’ you need in this stylish city

The lower floor of the property is where the main living areas can be found, all of which glow in the natural light from ample windows and patio doors. The living room is vast and suitable for a full household; there is enough space for a lounging area as well as a grand piano and billiard table, not to mention a bar area for when Friday night demands some livelier entertainment.

The neat kitchen has views straight onto the terrace and over Milan

On this level you can also find a spacious kitchen with room for dining. This will likely become the choice for less formal eating occasions as there is a more spectacular space up those glorious ‘floating’ stairs that lead to the upper floor..

A spacious dining room opens out to the terrace and pool to create a sublime entertaining space

The top floor of the penthouse has a large dining space – it can fit a table of 12 – that opens completely onto the sun terrace. Outside there is a long, delicious swimming pool that will demand a dip when the Italian weather is too intense.

Cool off in Italian summers in the great-sized pool

There is a bathroom on this upper level, not to mention stupendous views over the Milan city skyline and a space for al fresco drinking and lounging. When it’s time to slumber, there is a bedroom on this top floor although the main bulk of sleeping rooms are back on the lower floor.

Five bedrooms are tucked away across the two levels; they’re all large and opulent

All five bedrooms within the property are large and immaculate, with sizeable windows that add an extra sense of space and light despite being within an apartment. The bedrooms all boast their own en-suite, and all have been finished in fine marble for another dash of elegance in this superbly stylish pad.

Elegant marble finishes make all six bathrooms feel luxurious

The location is incredibly convenient for easy access to the city centre, yet without feeling stifled by it. The San Siro district is know for its eponymous stadium (home of AC Milan) and is located 5km north-west of the city centre. This distance is quickly covered on the city’s train lines (there is a local metro station) and flights can be caught just 45km away at Milan Airport.

With quick connections downtown, this apartment offers a serene escape within easy reach of the action

The area has lots of sports facilities and lush green spaces, as well as a lively restaurant and bar scene that saves a trip into Milan center when you’re feeling slow.

Chic Viennese ‘Palais’ penthouse (Austria), €8,800,000

On 29 September 2023

In city living, Contemporary, Europe, High rise, Historic, luxury, Vienna

A penthouse apartment in a historic building right in the heart of the city is surely the only way to enjoy life in Vienna

To truly embrace the elegance and style of Vienna, one needs an elegant, stylish and superbly-located penthouse to retire to at the end of a glorious day in the city. Look no further than the Palais Hansen, a historic building that was extensively renovated over a decade ago to accommodate a five-star hotel and 17 luxurious apartments.

The building may be historic, but this space is contemporary, bright and elegant

One of these apartments is up for sale: a wonderful modern penthouse apartment that will impress from the moment you step into the grand entrance hall, complete with a double-height hanging chandelier and slick staircase.

Glide straight on towards the open plan living, dining and cooking area, all basking under a wash of natural light from windows and skylights and providing ample entertaining and chilling space.

The open-plan living/dining/cooking areas are swathed in light from the generous use of skylights and windows

The kitchen is within its own nook and enjoys a connected utility/laundry room that ensures the daily drudge of housekeeping tasks can be hidden away from the main space.

There is an additional seating area in the kitchen space to provide options for both informal and formal dining

Of course when the sun shines you will be eager to lounge and dine out on the spacious, comfortable roof terrace, from where the beautiful buildings of Vienna can be admired at close quarters.

The terrace has a covering that can be rolled out if wet or too hot – but can you bear to hide the view?

The master bedroom suite is as opulent as you’d expect in such a remarkable building and comes complete with access to another smaller terrace overlooking the inner courtyard. An ideal place for your morning coffee, perhaps?

Bedrooms, both en-suite, are simple but chic and incredibly comfortable

There are a further two impeccable bedroom suites within this roomy appartment, both of which have beautifully-finished en suite bathrooms.

Having an en-suite both bedrooms make the accommodation incredibly convenient

In terms of location, this building could hardly be bettered. It’s located on the famous Ringstrasse Boulevard, with excellent transport links and local amenities in close proximity. How can we forget the incredible historic sites the First District contains? These are on the doorstep too!

Try to watch the TV but be distracted by the view..

Vienna is well served with an international airport 18 km away from the centre of town. There is also a large train station with connections to the rest of the country as well as nearby Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary.

5-bed Dubai Bugatti Penthouse, £31,605,360

On 25 August 2023

In Contemporary, Dubai, High rise, luxury, Middle East, Nature, seaview

This new building will be sleek, impressive and impeccably-designed for luxurious living

One of the newest residential towers to grace Dubai’s skylines (as of May 2023 it was under construction) is the incredibly exclusive and luxurious Bugatti Residences by Binghatti Properties.

Across two towers are 182 units that range from 2-bedroom Cannes mansions to the 4-bedroom Monaco mansions, with the Sky Mansion Penthouse Collection providing the ultimate elite living: 11 mansions and a single upper penthouse.

Each property has more floor-space than assumed as designers limited the whole building to just 182 units

The spectacular exterior design of the Bugatti Residences is matched by the interior flourishes and a Residence within this property is definitely more wow-your-friends than cosy-ing down with a cuppa.

The entrance alone is enough to wow whoever is fortunate enough to be seated alongside you in your Bugatti

Best to arrive in your Bugatti, which can be whisked up and parked within the largest of the Residences for the complete James Bond experience. The units – just 3/4 to each level – optimise the location and the light (with more windows than walls) and internal architecture is more akin to museum pieces than your average pad.

The living space is vast – both tall and wide – and revels in the majesty of the view

A vast living space is matched by an elegant and fully-fitted kitchen that spills into the dining area, with open-plan living the ideal way to celebrate the space and the views in these elite units.

The kitchen is well-equipped and cleverly designed, although undoubtedly the night life of Dubai may be more tempting than cooking

Bedrooms are vast and exceptionally well-finished, with blackout blinds that ensure the spectacle of the sunrise doesn’t startle you awake each morning.

Bedrooms boast as much space as the living areas and will ensure high-rise life never feels restrictive

You may be close to the sea on all sides, but you’d surely prefer to swim in your private pool while watching Dubai rush about it’s business outside the window/walls.

A morning swim in your personal pool as Dubai wakes up out the huge windows will be a treat

The bathrooms are beautifully designed and deliver the effortless elegance seen across the whole building. As one would expect these days, the standalone tub delivers the ideal location for bathing while marvelling at the location and the blue blue sky.

No, not an art piece but a standalone bath with a stand-out view

When you can bear to leave the serenity of the majestic unit, jump into your Bugatti and take the lift back down to the ‘real world’. The Residences are ideally located for the main business district of the emirate of Dubai, Business Bay, and is close to Al Khail Road and Sheikh Zayed Road. The neighbouring areas of Al Wasl and Downtown Dubai provide the bars and eateries and a bit of buzz when needed. For getting in and out, Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport is a 30-minute drive away.

Aston Martin Residences Miami penthouse (US), $50,000,000

On 11 July 2023

In Contemporary, High rise, luxury, seaview, USA

Moor your private yacht outside the Aston Martin Residences

Not all that many apartments come with a free Aston Martin but hey, this is Miami. And did we mention that it’s a penthouse in the extraordinary Aston Martin Residences, slap-bang on the waterfront in downtown Miami? You’ll be torn between driving your new Aston Martin (yes, this property really does come with the car) and a yacht, the latter moored right outside.. Yachts aren’t included in the price though.

The interior space is majestic courtesy of ample windows and incredible views

Set over three levels and covering almost 20,000 sq ft, this luxury penthouse provides all the comfort, space and unreal viewing points that one would hope for in this exclusive location. It’s also a pet-friendly building, so feel free to bring your pooch.

Multiple lounging areas will suit families or a range guests

On the ground floor you will find not one but two kitchens, the family lounges and terraces, and a gym and spa for your own private use. The spaces are all finished impeccably and provide a comfortable flow for true contemporary living.

Owners will have a choice of kitchens across three floors

Moving up to your first floor, there are seven beautiful and spacious bedrooms. There is also another terrace and more lounge areas for enjoying that seemingly-endless water and the view of the horizon, which simply can’t be avoided when there are more windows than walls…

Wake up to another perfect Miami day

The top floor is surely the ultimate final piece of the ostentatious puzzle. Up here you’ll find your large private pool area and a vast terrace (complete with 360-degree views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline) with a sitting area and yet another kitchen.

The top floor has a 360-degree terrace and a private pool

Despite being an apartment, the property provides just over 7,000 sq ft of outdoor space. Residents and guests will have no excuses, rain or shine, to miss a spectacular sunset each and every day.

Multiple lounging areas on multiple levels ensure privacy for a large entourage

As and when owners can bear to leave their luxurious private penthouse, the building itself provides many more pleasures. There are over 40,000 sq ft of facilities in the Residences, including a fitness centre and spa, an art gallery, a business centre, a children’s play room, a games room, a cinema, another pool as well as a bar and lounge. Private dining can also be arranged, while there is a full service concierge and 24-hour valet service (no doubt skilled in parking new Aston Martins in the covered garage).

Being right on the waterfront and in the heart of downtown Miami is a real draw

There simply couldn’t be a better location in Miami. The building is right on the waterfront and close to the Brickell Financial District, Central Business District and the Arts & Entertainment District. Some of the best of the city’s beaches are also nearby (South Beach is 18 mins away) and the international airport is just 20 mins drive
