“It’s really Geelong’s premier penthouse with uninterrupted views across the bay to the You Yangs and over the CBD,” Mr Veronie said.
“When the property was built, James left it as a shell and Watson Young redesigned the interior of the home and refitted the entire interior with different fittings and hand-picked the furniture to finish the apartment.
“It’s quite bespoke in its design and its finish. There is really nothing like it.”
