For a prestigious and exclusive address coupled with a high-end luxurious home, look no further than the swanky Branksome Crest in Hong Kong. Located in the upscale Mid-Levels district, the property stands among the homes of the social elite with views to match.
Developed by Kerry Properties, Branksome Crest made headlines in late 2007 when it was announced that a penthouse was sold for HKD$283 million, or USD$36.3 million, thereby setting a new record for the highest price ever paid for an apartment in Asia at USD$40,000 per square foot. The proud new owner, Jack Ma, is the chairman and founder of Alibaba, who can now call the lavish, 7,088 square foot, five-bedroom duplex with plush fittings and private swimming pool at Branksome Crest his home.
This well-appointed deluxe high rise is situated in a community known for elegance and classic design. Rising up along secluded Tregunter Path, the property calls some of Hong Kong’s finest mansions its neighbours as it rubs shoulders with the cream of Hong Kong society.
Branksome Crest offers sixty standard apartments, two lower duplexes, a penthouse and a penthouse duplex. The standard apartments are available in three-bedroom units with an attached balcony, as well as magnificent views of the city and Victoria Harbour. The duplexes boast their own private garden and swimming pool, while the penthouses lay claim to a private terrace and swimming pool each. With an entrance floor, a 5-storey parking lot, a 2-storey club house, and 35 floors dedicated to residential units, Branksome Crest offers privacy and security with unparalleled style and luxury.
Each residential unit has been designed with luxury and comfort in mind. Walls and ceilings have been painted with high quality emulsion paint, and bay windows in bedrooms as well as living and dining rooms have been finished with a marble sill. As you walk around your home, indulge your senses and bare feet to the timber wood flooring finish.
In the kitchen, expect granite or marble for your floors and countertops while ceramic tiles add the finishing touch to the walls. A suspended aluminium false ceiling with down light, kitchen cabinets, double sink and a Grohe single lever mixer completes your kitchen.
Equal thought and consideration have also been given to the bathrooms. With floors finished with either granite or marble slabs and tiles, walls adorned with granite or marble and ceramic tiles, expect to perform your ablutions in lavish luxury. Each bathroom also comes equipped with high quality sanitary ware, a suspended aluminium false ceiling and an electric water heater.
Residents are assured of security and exclusive entrance with a security or proximity card that allows them to access the main entrance, lifts and clubhouse. CCTV cameras have been placed at the main entrance, lifts and carpark, while each residence has been outfitted with a video phone handset with intercom and panic button functions.
