608/82 Wentworth Avenue, Kingston ACT 2604

Penthouse with full-floor presence | 130m² internal, 2-car secure garaging | Walk to Kingston Foreshore | 80% owner-occupied building | Rare dual-aspect layout This penthouse occupies a genuinely advantaged position within a well-regarded Bloc-built complex where owner-occupier majority stabilises both building care and resident profile. The 130m² floorplate is generous by contemporary apartment standards, delivering separation between master and secondary bedrooms that suits downsizers or professionals sharing. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and ducted heating and cooling are expected at this price point, but the integrated appliances and dual-sink ensuite indicate the vendor specified for livability rather than resale theatrics. The property suits a buyer prioritising walkable inner-south amenity over house-and-land space, particularly those who value being in a building where most neighbours are owners. The primary risk is that the 6.0 EER, while acceptable, is not leading-edge for a 2024-era apartment and may face scrutiny as energy standards tighten. The $52,435 annual rates are high and should be stress-tested against comparable penthouses. No off-street visitor parking is mentioned, which may inconvenience guests. The opportunity lies in the building’s low rental turnover-20%-which typically supports capital stability. Hold as a primary residence for lifestyle adjacency to the lake and parliamentary triangle; consider it a long-term position in a supply-constrained suburb where larger apartments are infrequently offered.
