With uninterrupted views of Sydney Harbour, this residence in the Crown Sydney building is the city's premier address.
There are luxury residences and then there is 81.01/1A Barangaroo Avenue. This world class penthouse with 360 degrees of Sydney Harbour offers an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy the best the Emerald City has to offer without compromising on space or amenity.
Set across two full floors and spanning over 800sqm, this lavish residence on offer through Black Diamondz enjoys uninterrupted views of the harbour across to Darling Harbour and the Blue Mountains to the west, and the glittering Pacific Ocean to the east.
Perched 245 metres above sea level and a mere 30 metres from the harbour’s edge, this sumptuous residence offers exceptional connectivity to the best Sydney has to offer with abundant living space indoors and out.
Unsurpassed Amenities
The floorplan includes five light-filled bedrooms each with ensuite bathrooms, as well as a lavish master suite complete with walk-in robes, twin rain shower, and steam room that gives new meaning to the word ‘indulgence’. The penthouse offers multiple generous living spaces as well as a spacious home office with commanding views of the harbour. Health and leisure features include a private plunge pool, cinema room, and gym. There is also more than 50sqm of outdoor living space spread across three protected balconies, connected by a feature staircase and a private internal lift that opens to a galleried second floor.
Architectural and Design Marvel
Designed by award-winning architect WilkinsonEyre, Crown Sydney’s striking sculptural form means each residence is unique in size and layout. Inside the penthouse, Meyer Davis Studio Interiors has crafted an interior space that is nothing short of jaw dropping in a quietly sophisticated neutral palette with detailed, bespoke joinery, herringbone flooring and stylish floor-to-ceiling drapery. Six metre-high floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light while offering panoramic vistas that are nothing short of sublime.
Full Access to Hotel Luxuries
What truly sets this penthouse apart is its full integration with the Crown Sydney hotel below. Residents enjoy complete access to hotel services, including a 24-hour concierge, valet parking, housekeeping, and in-room dining services from Crown’s esteemed chefs. Additionally, residents have exclusive access to two pools, a state-of-the-art gym, a six-star day spa, and a tennis court.
“With this Penthouse, we have unquestionably set a new standard for residential living not just in Sydney, but globally,” said the spokesperson for Crown Residences. “It’s more than a home; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those who demand the absolute best.”

A residence in the Hollywood Hills that was once home to the late Dolly Parton has hit the market for $7.95 million.
The country singer and her late husband, Carl Dean, bought the house in 1985 for $750,000 and sold it in 1990 for $1.2 million, according to listing records.
The property, aptly known as the Dolly Parton House, hasn’t been on the market for 25 years, according to the listing with Edward Tinney of Nourmand & Associates and Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency.
It’s unlikely Parton and Dean would recognize the house as it stands today though; it was rebuilt in 2009, and upgraded further in the years since, the listing said.
Across its almost 4,700 square feet, the house has living and dining rooms with walls of glass that frame the views that stretch across the city to the Pacific Ocean.

There’s also a library and media room, a family room and an eat-in kitchen. There are four bedrooms, including the primary suite, which has a coffee bar, a fireplace, two bathrooms, a space for an office or gym, a walk-in closet and a private deck.
Outside, there’s a pool and spa, with space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Plus there’s a two-car garage, electrical infrastructure for an EV charger and a Zen trail, according to the listing.
The seller, who couldn’t be reached for comment, paid $2.05 million for the home in 2001, records with PropertyShark show.

Parton died on August 25 at the age of 80 after a battle with cancer.
She released 50 studio albums over the course of her career—resulting in 27 gold and platinum albums—and starred in films including “9 to 5,” “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” and “Steel Magnolias.”
A philanthropist, she was behind the Imagination Library, which donated more than 200 million books to children around the world. In 2020, she helped fund early research for Moderna’s Covid 19 vaccine with a $1 million donation to Vanderbilt University.
