701/1 Drill St, Hawthorn

In a suburb long defined by heritage, education, and enduring affluence, opportunities to acquire a truly collectible residence in Hawthorn are exceptionally rare. This north-facing Sky Residence transcends conventional apartment living - less a property, more a piece of habitable architecture, created for those who value permanence, scale, and quiet distinction. With four generously proportioned bedrooms and four beautifully appointed bathrooms, the residence delivers a level of accommodation seldom found in apartment living, comfortably supporting family life, visiting guests, and private retreat within clearly defined zones. Approximately 254 square metres of internal living space is complemented by an extraordinary 104 square metres of outdoor terraces, creating a seamless relationship between interior and exterior. The result is the volume and breathing room of a substantial home - elevated into the sky and liberated from traditional maintenance. Every principal space enjoys a prized north-facing orientation, allowing natural light to move gracefully throughout the home. By evening, the city skyline transforms into a private theatre of lights - a view that is not merely observed, but lived with. Luxury here is not decorative, nor overt. It is architectural and composed. Generous proportions, elegant flow, and a rare sense of privacy create an atmosphere closer to a suspended private residence than a conventional apartment. The inclusion of five secure car spaces together with two substantial storage rooms places this residence in an entirely different asset category - signalling foresight, longevity, and genuine residential intent. Positioned moments from leading universities, train and tram networks, and the refined retail and dining culture of Glenferrie Road, the location achieves a delicate balance: connected, yet never chaotic; vibrant, yet reassuringly established. Residents also enjoy access to resort-style wellness amenities, including an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and fully equipped gymnasium - allowing daily life to unfold at the rhythm of a private retreat.
