A Warehouse Inspired Penthouse Like No Other

The beauty of a warehouse-style conversion is found in its immense sense of space. This unique offering at 1/6 Tilbrook Street, Teneriffe on the Brisbane River offers vacuous amounts of loft and light across three levels.

The interplay of glass and architectural voids – combined with the 921sqm floorplan – sees this residence feel exceptionally large. With 6-bedrooms, 5-bathrooms and 4-car garage with direct access, the penthouse functions more like a rooftop home than an apartment.

The main living space sees soaring ceiling heights in which the kitchen – fitted with granite benchtops, Gaggenau appliances and a butler’s pantry – combines with the outdoor dining and living room. A vintage Indian motorbike has been bolted into the wall and comes with purchase.

Outdoors, the balcony provides plenty of space to entertain, with a built-in barbecue, refrigeration and kitchenette, while a glass shutter offers protection from the elements.

It’s also on this floor that you’ll find the master suite, which is complete by its own walk-in robe and ensuite.

Upstairs sees the remaining bedrooms, two of which are replete with ensuites. Also here, is the theatre room and a separate large bathroom.

Further, the top level sees more room for entertaining. Here a living space is complete with a powder room, two balconies, a bar and kitchenette, while a gas fireplace forms the centrepiece of the room.

Each floor is accessible via an internal lift, with the residence is also privy to a gym, cellar, guest suite and is controlled by a CBUS-like system that automates, blinds, shutters, the skylight, speakers – found throughout the house – aircon and Boffi fans.

One of only nine residences in the build, the address gives rare access to the restaurants, cafes and Gasworks precinct and is only a short walk to the river.

The listing is with Place’s Heath Williams (+61 403 976 115). Price guide $6m.

A Mid-Century Modern home in Carmel, California, hit the market on Friday for just the third time in 70 years with a listing price of $4.25 million.

Located in the community of Carmel Highlands, the house is just steps from the coastline and comes with private beach access, according to the listing with Tim Allen of Coldwell Banker Realty in Northern California. Allen was not immediately available for comment.

The property last changed hands in 2010 when Hollywood screenwriter Richard Outten bought it for $990,000, public records show. Outten penned the screenplays for the 1992 movie “Pet Sematary Two” and the 1987 film “Lionheart,” and created the story for the 2012 “Journey to the Center of the Earth” sequel, “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.” He was not immediately available for comment.

Built in 1953, the home’s mid-century charm has been preserved over the years while still being updated for modern living. Interior details include wood paneling, exposed-brick walls and beamed ceilings.

The single-level house has 1,785 square feet, which includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Though not directly on the water, large windows flanking the adobe-brick, wood-burning fireplace look out at the ocean.

Sliding glass doors create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Outside, there’s a large patio surrounded by lush landscaping, and there are also meandering paths through sustainable succulent gardens, according to the listing.

In addition to its close proximity to the beach, the home is a 10-minute walk from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.

As of July, the median list price in Carmel is $3.1 million, up 8% from last year, even as active listings have increased 50% year over year, according to data from Realtor.com.
