With unparalleled views of Parliament House, a top-floor penthouse apartment in one of Canberra’s most prestigious locations offers the ultimate capital lifestyle.
Selling agent James Carter of Carter + Co said the four-bedroom, four-bathroom property at 22/7 State Circle in Forrest has attracted strong interest from interstate buyers, young urban professionals, downsizers and, of course, foreign embassy attache.
Designed by Collins Pennington Architects, the home boasts an expansive floor plan, with a staggering 237sq m of living.
Two living areas offer ample room and privacy, while premium finishes create a strong sense of opulence befitting the blue-ribbon location.

“The Estate complex is an award-winning development with a great community feel,” Mr Carter said. “The penthouse offers the highest standard of living.”
That lifestyle includes electric vehicle chargers in the visitors’ carpark, an allotted 60-bottle wine lockup in the community cellar, communal entertaining areas, and resident social groups, including a ladies champagne club.
High ceilings and European oak timber flooring flow through the apartment’s living and dining spaces, connecting seamlessly to the lavish outdoor entertaining area, accessed via floor-to-ceiling double glazed stacker doors.
The entertainer’s kitchen features Gaggenau appliances, Caesarstone waterfall benchtops, an Italian Statuario marble splashback, dual-zone wine fridge, and a butler’s prep area.
The vast master ensuite has a freestanding teardrop shaped bath, custom dual vanity, and floor-to-ceiling Italian Carrara marble herringbone tiling.
A private balcony off the main bedroom offers views of Parliament House.
Three of the four bedrooms have generous ensuites, each with under tile heating, custom joinery, LED strip lighting, frameless shower screens, and floor-to-ceiling tiles.
Sheer curtains, recessed pelmets, and LED strip lighting to all the living areas and bedrooms add to the sophisticated styling.
“We’re finding downsizers want to let go of their big blocks of land and high-maintenance gardens without compromising on the size, space and quality of their living,’ Mr Carter said.
The home has an asking price of $2.889m.
