The Lake Penthouse is a stunning two-level residential apartment offering iconic 270-degree views of Lake Burley Griffin, Parliament House, the National Institutions and the Brindabella ranges - Canberra’s version of the Sydney Harbour, Opera House and Harbour Bridge views.

Designed by world renowned architects Fender Katsalidis, “The ApARTments” at New Acton South is the benchmark apartment building in the Nation’s Capital, winning the Art In Architecture Award by Australian Institute of Architects, ACT in 2011. 

"This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a sensational Pied a Terre in the Nation's Capital," Bill Lyristakis told WILLIAMS MEDIA. "The Lake Penthouse is a truly rare 16th level apartment in the National Capital, encapsulating a luxurious penthouse apartment over two levels with the most astounding views over Lake Burley Griffin to the National Library, High Court of Australia, National Gallery of Australia, the National Museum and Parliament House."

Whilst originally from Canberra, owner Jan Heydon has been in Brisbane, Queensland for almost 40 years. Her intent when she bought The Lake Penthouse off the plan 10 years ago was to establish a bolt hole ‘back home’, a place to host dinner parties for old school friends - watching Riverfire whilst overlooking the Lake.

Jan worked with the design team during construction to produce a very special outcome whilst simultaneously working on the design of a beach house near Mollymook NSW. Over the last 10 years she has only stayed in the Apartment for about 2 days a month enroute from Brisbane to the NSW south coast. It became a place to park the car between the beach house and Canberra airport and as such she is now ready to sell the apartment. 

The apartment is located within minutes’ walk of the Lake Foreshore, the Canberra City centre, National University and some of Canberra’s finest cafes, restaurants, bars and entertainment venues, including award-winning Monster Bar, wine bars and the Palace Electric Cinema, and Nishi Ovolo only 200m away.

"The precinct, art and culture, intertwined with this exclusive Lake Penthouse and iconic views few in Canberra get to enjoy, mean The Lake Penthouse will always be sought after as a trophy residence by the discerning," Bill Lyristakis told WILLIAMS MEDIA.

A designer staircase leads upstairs to the generously sized master suite with stunning lake views, walk through dressing room to the luxurious marble and stone ensuite with king size shower, double vanity and freestanding deep bath.
