Footscray penthouse with rooftop spa listed for $2.5m
The four-bedroom, four-bathroom sky home crowns a boutique block of just 16 at 502/66 Pickett St and delivers almost 500sq m on title â€' 272sq m internally plus a 156sq m private rooftop.
Designed for high-end living and entertaining, it includes an individually titled remote-controlled double garage with right-of-way access and direct lift into a terrazzo-finished foyer.
Buxton Inner West director Matthew John has called it “the best apartment in Melbourne’s west�.
“From a pure apartment perspective, it has to be up there with the best in Melbourne,� Mr John said.
“Every time you open the door and step onto that rooftop, the wow factor doesn’t fade.�
The chef’s kitchen is a centrepiece: striking green onyx stone to the island and splashback, premium Smeg appliances with dual wall ovens, induction cooktop and warming drawer, integrated fridge/freezer and a Hisense wine fridge.
Throughout are peppercorn parquetry floors, sheer curtains with recessed pelmets, smart lighting and power points, and fluted privacy windows.
Zoned Panasonic reverse-cycle heating/cooling and underfloor heating in all bathrooms add year-round comfort.
Accommodation is headlined by a luxe main suite with a walk-in robe and imported Swedish champagne-gold carpet, while each additional bedroom has its own ensuite and custom robes.
A dedicated home office with bespoke cabinetry makes working from home seamless.
Crowning the residence is a private rooftop oasis reached via a remote-controlled roof hatch.
Mr John said the top level is set up for effortless entertaining with a six-seater Vortex spa, outdoor kitchenette with built-in wine fridge, wall-mounted television and multiple zones to take in uninterrupted views across the skyline and Maribyrnong.
“It elevates the home into something almost untouchable,� he said.
The Buxton Inner West director added that interest is coming from buyers who don’t usually look to the inner west.
“Families who’d normally rule out apartments because of size are inspecting, this one has genuine house-like proportions,� Mr John said.
“We’re also seeing Bayside and South Yarra buyers realising they can get double the lifestyle here for the same spend.�

Jelena Dokic stuns as the Aussie tennis star looks slimmer than ever while on holiday with her new 'love' Yane Veselinov in Bali
Jelena Dokic has stunned as she popped up in Bali, Indonesia, looking slimmer than ever while on holiday with her new man, Yane Veselinov. The retired tennis great, 42, has publicly chronicled her weight loss journey after shedding around 20 kilos through diet and lifestyle changes. She credits her success to a healthy diet and an exercise regimen, which includes working out at the gym at 6 am while working 18-hour days. Dokic recently went public with her relationship with Veselinov, a Melbourne-based hospitality relations manager, on Instagram. And now the couple have taken their budding romance to the next level, embarking on their first holiday together at the popular tourist destination. Dokic took to Instagram on Thursday to share snaps of the pair enjoying the famed Monkey Forest in Ubud. While viewers loved the happy photos of Jelena beaming beside a couple of monkeys, all eyes were on the tennis great's slimmed-down figure. She donned a fashionable cream midi dress cinched at the waist and adorned with tortoise-shell buttons at the animal sanctuary. Her hair was slicked back in the humid weather, accentuating her slender face and light but flattering makeup. "Great experience. You look lovely!" one fan wrote in the comments. "Looking gorgeous," another person said. Jelena stunned again in another snap of herself donning a bold red lip and white dress with her boyfriend, who she lovingly referred to as "my love". After the couple enjoyed a tropical dinner, they visited the Elephant Safari Park Lodge where Dokic's casual ensemble showed off her muscles. The tennis star opted for a pair of sandals, fuchsia pink linen trousers and a white singlet, under which her well-earned abs were visible. Her dedication to her diet and exercise regimen was even more evident as she posed beside one of the elephants and even fed the giant mammal. More fans flooded the comments of her holiday snaps to praise the star. "I love seeing you looking so radiantly happy, Jelena," one person said. "Enjoy all your rest and recreation." Another fan wrote: "Jelena, you look absolutely stunning and happy". A third person said the tennis great was "looking so happy and relaxed!". Jelena and Yane's getaway comes after she won the Silver Logie for Best Factual or Documentary Program for Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story at the 2025 Logie Awards at Sydney's The Star earlier this month. Dokic hit the red carpet solo at TV's night of nights despite having just recently gone public with Veselinov shortly beforehand. Nevertheless, the hospital manager later took to Instagram to share a photo holding her gong alongside some heartfelt words of support. "Honoured to be holding this incredible Logie award," Veselinov wrote. Dokic confirmed her relationship with Veselinov last month after published bombshell footage of the pair getting cosy at Melbourne Airport. "You are my calm, safe, peaceful and happy place. So glad I found you," she wrote alongside a romantic snap with her new partner. The tennis great split from her previous partner Tin Bukic in late 2022 after an almost two-decade-long relationship.

Soluna apples, known as Bravo in WA, hit US shelves amid plans to export to China
In an Australian first, the Bravo apple has been exported to the United States. After years of testing, the Soluna apple — as it is known internationally — is now grown by approximately 90 producers across WA, NSW, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria. Since Bravo hit the domestic market in 2016, Soluna apples have gone on to stock supermarket shelves across Asia and the Middle East. WA Farm Direct general manager Elliot Jones said the first shipment to the US was small. "This is a market test — two containers worth — to get an understanding of where we would sit in the segment," Mr Jones said. "It's a premium apple, so we wanted to test it to set the platform for next year." Mr Jones believed the uniqueness of the apple would make the fruit competitive in the US apple market. He said it was being stocked in supermarkets on the US east coast. "They're retailing roughly for $10 Australian a kilo, so that is a premium to the Australian market," he said. "We are positioning it at a price point which will deliver returns to growers that are superior to what they can achieve in the domestic market. "There is additional costs in supplying these markets, both with freight — and there is a tariff into the US, there is an increased cost therefore there is going to be a higher cost to consumers." Mr Jones said WA Farm Direct was also preparing to export Soluna apples to China next year after securing market access, but added it would need to encourage more investment to meet demand. "We will have to make a decision on how much fruit we will have available early next year. "We are in a situation right now where we need more fruit, so we are encouraging further investment in the program to meet future demand." However, not all growers are convinced the move into new markets is a good idea. Vic Grozotis grows Bravos at his commercial orchard in the south west town of Manjimup, 300 kilometres south of Perth. He said he was not convinced on the future of the recent export shipment to America. "We don't even know what returns we are going to get for it, it is small volumes — it's just another feel good story coming out from the promoters of Bravo," Mr Grozotis said. "Last year, Bravo was my lowest returning variety — they are asking us to grow more of this when realistically we don't have any baseline price and don't know what the return is going to be. "You must remember, there are so many varieties coming on to the global market. But there are other south west WA growers who are optimistic on the growth of these new markets. Ann Lyster is a Manjimup apple farmer and is also chair of West Australian apple cooperative, Fruit West. "There is a very good business case that can be made for being able to supply not only the domestic market, but the international market as well," Ms Lyster said. "The coordinated marketing of Bravo — Soluna — doesn't suit all growers, but I think there is a great percentage that are very happy with the marketing that is being worked on."
