“She told me one of the things she loves about it is you are right in the heart of everything. You can go down to the ground level and be a part of it all or you can watch from the fifth floor,” he said.
“She’s not leaving the building, she’s just downsizing within it because she really loves the building.”
He said the communal facilities at Edgewater, including a landscaped communal terrace, swimming pool, gym and steam room, were a standout in the Geelong market.
He described the sub penthouse itself as one of the biggest he had seen in the city, topped only by the full floor penthouse above.
While appealing to the downsizer market, the three-bedder’s 274sq m floor area still rivals many suburban homes for size.

Timber floors are paired with crisp white finishes in the kitchen.
Built-in cabinetry provides storage and display options in the main living room.
“A lot of downsizers tell us that they want to downsize on the land not the dwelling and they wouldn’t be downsizing too much on the dwelling there because it’s quite big but, of course it’s a lock up and leave lifestyle,” Mr Whitford said.
“It is a house but it’s on the fifth floor.”
Designed by architect Karl Fender of Fender Katsalidis, the sub penthouse oozes quality, space and an abundance of natural light.
Expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing combines with three individual balconies to provide multiple Corio Bay vantage points throughout.
The highlight is the open-plan living area at the northern end, which extends out to a front balcony overlooking Steampacket Gardens, Cunningham Pier and the Royal Geelong Yacht Club.
The spacious main bedroom has access to a private balcony.
The main bedroom’s ensuite includes dual vanities, a shower and bath.
There’s nothing poky about the entrance hall.
It’s anchored by a minimalist kitchen featuring white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry.
Two further living spaces, a large home office (with a view, of course), full size laundry, a huge walk-in wardrobe in the main bedroom suite, ensuite bathrooms to each bedroom and two carparking spaces are also included in the generous package.
“It’s on the eastern side so there’s lovely morning sun and it’s glass all the way around,” Mr Whitford said.
“You have got superb views down to Eastern Beach and then on the north side, at the front, it’s 180-dgree views.
“And the fit-out is lovely … the design has stood up beautifully.”
