Crowning Harry Seidlerโs Arlington building (designed in 1967), this north-east penthouse offers the rare opportunity to be a custodian of Australian modernism.

Thoughtfully considered updates include oak herringbone parquetry, a refreshed kitchen, and upgraded bathrooms, which exist in concert with Seidlerโs original detailing.
With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and dual parking, itโs a chance to live within a landmark that has helped to define Sydneyโs architectural identity.
