2501/20 Festival Place, NEWSTEAD QLD 4006

Occupying an entire half-floor within Australia’s most acclaimed residences, Luminare, this landmark Penthouse commands breathtaking and limitless 270-degree views from every vantage point. Meticulous in execution and uncompromising in detail, it presents a rare purity of Italian craftsmanship that is without equal and guaranteed to remain unmatched.

A dramatic yet warm entrance gallery leads into a grand living space, anchored by a monolithic travertine gas fireplace and framed by more than 28 metres of uninterrupted glass frontage. From this highest point in Newstead, the residence enjoys commanding, gun-barrel city views and exceptional natural light, with prized northern, western and southern exposures.

The outdoor living experience is equally extraordinary, offering seamless indoor-outdoor integration. A fully equipped quartz stone summer kitchen with built-in BBQ is complemented by a hybrid hot-and-cold full-body plunge pool, alongside year-round luxuries including integrated ceiling fans, heaters and sliding privacy sun-screens.

A mesmerising five-metre LED-lit waterfall island bench anchors the oversized kitchen. Crafted from polished Blanc Crystal Stone, it is complemented by full-height timber veneer joinery, striking bronzed-metal rangehood, and integrated Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and wine fridge, with refined Henry Wilson hardware and eco-brass Astra Walker Tapware throughout. The main kitchen and adjoining prep kitchen are each fully equipped, featuring dual ILVE cooktop-ovens with pot fillers, obsidian-black Miele appliance stacks, custom Blum push-to-open joinery, integrated dishwashers and a Baker ice machine.

Designed for entertaining at scale while maintaining complete seclusion, the northern wing of the residence reveals a spectacular ballroom-style entertaining space with six-metre ceilings and expansive 180-degree views through floor-to-ceiling glazing and complimentary window furnishings. Entertaining is further enhanced by a striking back-lit bar, built-in booth seating, integrated Fisher & Paykel multi-temperature drawer fridge, dishwasher, generous bespoke joinery and Hydro-ZipTap.

The primary bedroom suite is gracefully situated in its own wing with a commanding frontage and dazzling views. Among one of the largest in the city, the suite is complemented by a 45 sqm walk-in robe conceived as a private dressing gallery, complete with full-height joinery, a stone island dresser and a built-in Casoro safe imported from the United States.

Designed with both luxury and everyday ease in mind, the suite extends into a meticulously considered master bathroom, where a bespoke cosmetics counter is positioned to capture front-facing natural light. This custom joinery piece incorporates a stone benchtop, integrated GPOs within each cupboard, a marble basin with ZIP tap, and an undermount refrigerator dedicated to essential vitamins and skincare.
The oversized master bathroom is further enhanced by heated flooring, a double-head shower, smart toilet, and a double vanity with extensive integrated storage.

A grand internal gallery, finished with Italian travertine flooring spanning more than 23 metres and accented by European feature lighting, leads to four luxurious bedroom suites with ensuites, a sound-proofed home office, a private gym with infrared sauna, and a fully appointed laundry. The laundry includes dual stacked washer and dryer, a farmhouse sink, extensive storage and a secondary services entrance, ensuring effortless functionality throughout the home.

At Luminare, the world beyond your penthouse is equally impressive. Encase within a resplended colonnade structure reminiscent of a majestic colosseum, the expansive wellness amenities include a 35m Rooftop Pool, Two Romanesque Thermal Magnesium Wellness Spas, Two Saunas, a Steam Room, Luxury Sun Lounges and a State-of-the-Art Fitness Club by Technogym.
