Defined by breathtaking style, scale, and craftsmanship, this Art Deco-inspired masterpiece is one of Moonee Ponds' most extraordinary family residences. Proudly occupying a substantial 1240sqm parcel, this meticulously designed, three-level showpiece fuses 1930s Hollywood elegance with the finest contemporary comforts creating a sanctuary of luxury, versatility, and lifestyle.
From the moment you step through the bespoke steel doors, it's clear this is a home of rare distinction. A grand tiled foyer anchored by a dramatic spiral chandelier sets the tone, while hand-selected finishes and curated design elements echo throughout.
To the left, a refined music room with a custom curved sofa embracing the bay window sets the stage for Mark Alexander's timeless interior design, featuring soft flowing curves, geometric detail, and a sophisticated neutral palette. Across the hall, the library's warmth is enhanced by the first of four statement marble and steel fireplaces, with a clever sliding bookcase concealing a hidden panic room.
The entry level also hosts a plush guest suite with Calacatta marble ensuite, a formal sitting room, an expansive laundry with chute, powder room, and an eight-person lift that services all floors. A sweeping marble staircase rises from the centrepiece of this floor.
The rear of the home opens to a vast family domain, where indoor-outdoor living reaches new heights. Anchored by a feature fireplace, the open-plan living and dining space flows to the state-of-the-art Michael Schiavello kitchen, equipped with a marble island bench, top-end appliances including a 900mm Steel oven, dual Liebherr fridges, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, and integrated Zip Tap. A deluxe butler's pantry continues the high-spec theme, complete with Miele appliances and an additional dishwasher.
Seamless entertaining is at your fingertips, with retractable steel doors opening to a fully-equipped alfresco pavilion featuring a wood-fired oven, built-in barbecue, fridge, TV, and electric Moretti pizza oven. The resort-style backyard offers a tiered paradise: half basketball court, soccer pitch, fire pit lounge, 9x5m solar-heated pool with portholes, oversized spa, and a poolside pavilion with retractable awning and amenities.
Upstairs, the main bedroom suite is a true retreat with a glamorous dressing room, a luxurious ensuite boasting a freestanding bath, double vanity, and jet shower, and a private office connected by a glass bridge. Three further bedrooms (each with ensuites and robes), a fifth bedroom, and a kids' playroom with balcony ensure ample space for every family dynamic. At the top, a loft-style parents' retreat opens to a rooftop terrace with sweeping district views complete with an elegant whisky bar for sophisticated evening entertaining.
The basement is equally impressive, housing a 7-car garage with turntable, a tiered theatre room with Sony projection system and leather recliners, a 2000-bottle wine cellar, a fully-equipped boxing and weights gym, full bathroom, and two generous storage rooms with potential for a sauna.
Luxury is embedded in every detail reclaimed old-growth timber floors, porcelain and ceramic tiles, Zucchetti 'Bellagio' tapware, hand-crafted P.Bisschop Art Deco door fittings, and statement lighting throughout. Comfort and convenience are elevated with zoned refrigerated cooling, hydronic heating, ducted vacuum, alarm system, CCTV, intercom, and 3x 10kW solar systems.
Ideally positioned near parklands, transport, Union Road and Puckle Street shopping, and some of Melbourne's most sought-after schools, this is the ultimate family estate elegant, functional, and utterly unforgettable.
