A collection has launched of eight exclusive penthouses in Stage One of Carrington Place, the largest residential masterplan in Castle Hill in Sydney’s northwest.
Located at Atrium, the residences being developed by Ellipse Property afford bespoke buyer-led design, custom joinery and modified floorplan configurations.
The penthouse collection includes a combination of three and four bedrooms ranging from 160 to 334 square metres in size priced from $2.52m to $5.4m.

According to Blake Schulze, national director of Residential at Colliers, four-bedroom apartments in the Hills District are hard to find – but the ability to create a bespoke home is truly unique and allows penthouse buyers to purchase their own residence tailored to their personal lifestyle.
“The first penthouse was sold quickly thanks to its house-like scale, sought-after views and the ability for the buyer to personalise,” he said.
Associate director of Ellipse Property, Puja Khanna, said offering flexibility through customisation ensures each penthouse reflects the purchaser’s individual lifestyle and needs.
“If a buyer wants to add extra storage or increase the size of a certain room, we can do that, because we want to deliver a space that feels like home from day one,” she said.

Ms Khanna said Atrium launched with 153 apartments and prior to the penthouse collection they had not launched anything on level seven, where they had a set of 16 apartments on a typical floorplate.
“We took them off the market and we made a decision to combine them into eight super apartments and we called them the penthouse collection,” she said.
Ms Khanna said because the building design was already set there was a lot of criteria for what could and could not be changed.
“The Ellipse team in house took on the challenge of carving out the eight penthouses and our sales came up with the layouts depending on what the demand was, having larger kitchens flowing in pantries, walk in laundries, bigger balconies which have provisions for bbqs or bars,” she said.

Ms Khanna said Castle Hill and particularly showground where the Atrium is located, there are a lot of apartments coming into the market there.
According to Ms Khanna, the main reason for the property boom in the area is the metro and connectivity to Sydney CBD additionally the location such as proximity to Macquarie University.
“That plays an important part on that boom of housing in that precinct,” she said.
“Since we are talking of penthouses, the downsizer market there is huge and people who live in Castle Hill they do not want to leave the hills, they love that area and their families are there.
“Because there is no other product available at that stage, they are sort of leaning towards larger apartments and projects like ours.”

Penthouse buyer Miriam knew what she wanted out of her apartment and found the five bedrooms ideal as many options in the search were too small.
“Even though it is just my husband and I, we both run our own businesses so we have two separate studies and things like that,” she said.
“We wanted to remain in the hills area.
“I was almost giving up, when I went online and I found Carrington Place.”
Instilling her own desires throughout the design, Miriam said she received pictures of the apartment along the way.

“What attracted me the most was that they were happy with the penthouse to make changes,” she said.
“I’ve asked for extra things which they are really accommodating.
“I asked for the electric fireplace, I even asked for a revolving shoe cupboard.”
Miriam said she loves the process of creating her own space.
“I love designing, I’m just in my element,” she said.
“This is a brand new place and I’m getting exactly what I want.”
