6/455 Adelaide Street Brisbane City, QLD 4000

The lift opens to your private foyer, and Brisbane unfolds before you. The river winds towards the Story Bridge, morning light falls across Kangaroo Point, and the Riverwalk traces the water's edge. Occupying two entire floors of Bellagio, a boutique collection of just six residences, this 580sqm penthouse offers a rare scale of luxury riverfront living, with expansive spaces to entertain, private places to retreat and the city at your feet.

Coffee in the Gaggenau kitchen becomes breakfast on the balcony. CityCats trail below, river breezes drift inside, and the morning slowly gathers pace. The entry level belongs to living and entertaining, with space for friends to settle in and evenings to unwind. Dinner moves from the table to the open air as the sky changes colour and city lights appear. On cooler nights, the fireplace draws everyone back inside.

Upstairs, four bedrooms offer distance from the evening's conversation, three opening to their own balconies. In the primary suite, you wake to the river and open the doors to the breeze. There is space to linger in the private lounge, dress beneath the glow of an illuminated walk-in robe, and sink into the spa bath at the end of the day.

The scale extends beyond the living spaces. A separate room with a wet bar becomes your private boardroom or home theatre, while an office on another floor gives work its own place overlooking the river. Bellagio's indoor pool and sauna invite time to recharge, and an exclusive 75sqm parking area accommodates five cars - a substantial luxury in this riverfront city setting.

Below, the Riverwalk leads you out for morning walks and bike rides, past the Botanic Gardens or across the water to Kangaroo Point. Walk to work, meet friends at Howard Smith Wharves, or make an evening of an exhibition at GOMA and a performance at QPAC. Then return to your private foyer, the river and a city still shining.
