GURNER™ unveils Highgrove Place at historic Prahran site

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/gurner">GURNER™</a> has revealed that each of its six ultra-luxury mansions at the $35 million Huntingtower Place on the sough-after Huntingtower Road in <a href="/developments/armadale-vic-3143">Armadale</a> – which were inspired by the spectacular homes of Los Angeles – have now sold out after just six weeks on the market.&nbsp;

The six bespoke homes are currently under construction by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/krongold-constructions">Krongold Construction</a> and are due for completion in 2025, designed by sustainable design practice <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/wolveridge-architects">Wolveridge Architects</a>, complete with landscape design by Myles Baldwyn. &nbsp;

The buyer pool was largely downsizers from nearby suburbs like <a href="/developments/malvern-vic-3144">Malvern</a>, <a href="/developments/toorak-vic-3142">Toorak</a> and <a href="/developments/south-yarra-vic-3141">South Yarra</a>, which have historically been starved of opportunities for top-end low-maintenance residences scaled for families in Armadale’s tightly held residential market.&nbsp;

In keeping with GURNER™’s sustainability ethos, each Huntingtower Place residence will be built with water harvesting, solar power generation, and double-glazed windows and door systems, all culminating in carbon-neutral homes.&nbsp;

<img alt="GURNER sell out $35m Huntingtower Place - Green" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6c5986d0-5337-4377-acc4-e4380c9c4268" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Huntingtower%20Place%20Green.jpg?VersionId=A7AidMz02MwYKtHwq4R6u62hhVyNtgqF" />

Huntingtower Place’s palatial residences offer access to GURNER™ Design House, which works with buyers one-on-one to customise every aspect of their home. This allowed for inclusions like bespoke wine showcases, extensive home offices, private gym and wellness hubs and dedicated private wings for guests or returning children.&nbsp;

GURNER™ Boutique team will now turn its sights to key areas in Queensland and Victoria.

Brooke Formosa,&nbsp;GURNER™ Head of Boutique, said&nbsp;Huntingtower Road is one of the most sought-after and exclusive streets in Melbourne.

"We’re proud to be delivering such a high-quality product that will embody the most luxurious homes of Los &nbsp;Angeles while celebrating the character of Armadale," Formosa said.&nbsp;

“Buyers really don’t get opportunities like these in Armadale – the chance to work with a world-class architect to design your dream home in one of the nicest parts of Melbourne is extremely rare, and that definitely inspired our buyers to act quickly.

“The basis of everything we do is design – we build our towers, residences and boutique homes to be architecturally timeless and homely and to push the boundaries of what’s possible, and we love working one-on-one with buyers who share that passion."

<img alt="GURNER sell out $35m Huntingtower Place - Bedroom" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ca9676fc-e5b2-4921-ae9e-13549327905c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Huntingtower%20Place%20Bedroom.jpg?VersionId=3RJRLCcY8hH317spv73o7UDRaBqlW0vF" />

Formosa said the aim is&nbsp;to deliver six to eight boutique projects per year in their boutique division.

"We have an incredible network of existing buyers who are showing a strong appetite for the product, so we know the luxury market is active.&nbsp;

“Being able to work so closely with Simon our Head of Interior Design and our Design House team is a rare opportunity, and allows for buyers to design the home they’ve always dreamt of in one of the most discerning parts of Melbourne.&nbsp;

“We offer a very unique customisation process to our buyers, where they really get to design the entire home hand-in-hand with a world-class team that has delivered many high-end residences."

Sutton Street: Bespoke residences in the heart of Kooyong

Apartment developer Bensons Property Group took an unusual approach when they were designing Society Armadale.

Their brief to CHT Architects an interior architecture and design practice SORA, was to create one-of-a-kind floorplans in the boutique Wattletree Road development of 25 apartments.

No two apartments have the same floorplan, which is attracting a variety of buyers. What's also drawing buyers is the size of the three-bedroom apartments in particular.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109608 project_image_fid=205497]

Comparing the apartment size against the average house size in the 2021 CommSec Annual Home Size Report, Society Aramdale's three-bedroom apartments are 10 sqm larger.

Krongold Construction have started building Society Armadale, which is slated for completion early next year.

The development boasts gardens and swimming pools designed by the esteemed Jack Merlo, while also boasting an average 7-star NatHERS energy rating in each home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109608 project_image_fid=205496]

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The two and three-bedroom apartments are thoughtfully designed to maximise views and natural light, with a carefully selected palette of materials, including timber floors and marble benchtops and splashbacks.

Each apartment features&nbsp;Gaggenau appliances, along with Liebherr fridges and wine fridges and Astra Walker tapware, as well as private garages equipped with EV chargers.&nbsp;

Taking luxury to new heights, the penthouse at Society Armadale offers an unrivalled experience akin to a palatial house, boasting features such as a home cinema, wine cellar, office, and sauna, along with multiple living areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109608 project_image_fid=205499]

Privacy and security are paramount at Society Armadale, with state-of-the-art video and audio surveillance systems in place to ensure residents' peace of mind, while there's also concierge services which further enhance the sense of exclusivity and convenience within the development.

Society Armadale residents will also benefit from the We Wumbo building app, which enables communication between the concierge and the greater Society community.

The app will notify resident’s when parcels arrive, as well as being the destination to reserve The Sanctum, a private dining space within the development, the dog wash bay and even the car wash.&nbsp;
