Set at the highest point in Parnell, One Saint Stephens offers a collection of luxury apartments defined by light, craftsmanship, and quiet refinement. It is the first residential development in Australasia to receive the internationally recognised WELL Residence certification, highlighting its commitment to healthier living through air and water quality, acoustic comfort, lighting, material selection, and overall well-being.

Occupying the top of the building, penthouses 502 and 503 enjoy sweeping harbour views and interiors designed for comfort, materiality, and ease. Dawson & Co has furnished the residences with pieces carefully selected to complement the architecture and showcase the expansive, sunlit spaces.

Inside, natural stone finishes, textured plaster walls, and a calm, refined palette allow the outlook to take centre stage. Open-plan living flows into quieter spaces for retreat, including a media or second lounge with a fireplace. Kitchens are designed for hosting with premium appliances and separate sculleries that support preparation and service. Storage is carefully considered throughout, including walk-in laundries and secure internal garaging. Generous terraces extend the living spaces outdoors, creating inviting areas to dine, entertain, or unwind in the open air.

The Signature Residence 

Penthouse 502 embraces both scale and intimacy. A gallery entry designed for art leads to a sweeping living area framed by a curved Ambitec plaster wall, where light spills across the space and draws the eye to harbour views from morning to evening.

Walking into the open dining area, the Baron Table is paired with Solace dining chairs creating a space that is formal yet relaxed, where conversations linger over meals. 

Close by in the lounge area are the Wren chairs and the Mushroom coffee table, offering a moment to pause, read, or enjoy the warmth of the fire.

The Sonder Sofa provides a perfect balance of quiet relaxation and social gatherings, while the Ritz Rug by Source Mondial adds texture and warmth, tying the seating elements together and enhancing the calm, refined luxury of the lounge.

In the Winter Garden, the James sofa and James lounge chairs from Cove Outdoor are paired with the T-Table coffee table by Tribu, create a relaxed outdoor setting with views across the harbour.

Outdoor Living & Wellness

Beyond the private residences, the shared Wellness Retreat continues One Saint Stephens’ focus on health, comfort, and connection. Designed as a serene poolside sanctuary for all residents, the space is furnished with durable outdoor pieces from Cove which continue the same sense of calm and considered luxury found throughout One Saint Stephens.

A shaded nook near the pool features the Ariki sofa and Ariki lounge chair paired with the Bight rectangle coffee table creating a relaxed setting for conversation or quiet retreat. Nearby, the generous outdoor BBQ entertainment space is ideal for sun-filled lunches or tranquil evenings under the sky. It is seen here styled with the Bight Curved Dining Table and James dining chairs. 

Throughout One Saint Stephens, every furniture setting has been carefully curated to complement the architecture, enhance comfort, and create seamless connections between indoor and outdoor spaces. This same sense of calm and considered living extends into the Wellness Retreat, where residents can relax in the soak pool or gather in a serene shared space. Together, thoughtful design and furnishings create an environment that supports the building’s WELL Residence certification and its commitment to healthier, balanced living.

With Penthouse 502 and 503 now the last remaining residences, this is a rare opportunity to experience life at the highest point in Parnell. Explore the homes, the views, and the craftsmanship that defines One Saint Stephens.
