You Wish: a palatial 86th-floor penthouse apartment at Eureka Tower

8601/7 Riverside Quay, Southbank
$18 million-plus

Every extravagance is exaggerated in the whole-floor penthouse of Eureka Tower, ensuring its buyer will never be short of superlatives.

On the floor, silk carpets and French oak parquetry; overhead, coffered ceilings that took two years to craft; and from every window of its 360-degree striking angular design, the alluring sprawl of a vibrant city, avenues of greenery or the curve of the bay.

You might see racehorses at Flemington, planes departing Tullamarine and, on a clear day, your Portsea holiday playground, while towering over Government House in its green-belt setting.

The 86th floor, said to be the highest penthouse in the southern hemisphere, is palatial and majestic.

To one side, its family room offers big-screen entertainment and on the other is a casual barbecue-entertainment area.

Sleeping quarters to the south-east comprise three bedrooms with en suites and an oversized  main suite.

To the north-east are elegant formal rooms, kitchen and caterer’s kitchen, meals area and library with fireplace. Five parking spaces are also included.
