Expansive north-facing frontage to Reading Avenue brings to light the unbridled opulence of this landmark domain delivering supreme family luxury beyond a monumental French Provincial façade in the highly-coveted Balwyn High School zone. A stunning showcase of substantial two-level space, state-of-the-art features and superior-quality appointments, this lavish five bedroom, 6.5 bathroom residence with an indoor spa pool commands attention with unmistakable majesty.
A grand reception hall beneath a soaring double-height void creates an unforgettable first impression, where warm oak parquetry, intricate wrought-iron balustrading and an antique-style chandelier set a tone of refined European elegance. A formal north-facing sitting room framed by tall double-glazed windows is enriched by a marble-surround gas fireplace, while nearby a marble-finished powder room with a Villeroy & Boch vanity adds further sophistication and convenience.
An ensemble of extensive ground-floor zones begins with a huge north-facing living room with stacker doors extending to a vast bluestone terrace, before a magnificent formal dining room complemented by custom wine bar storage and a dramatic picture-window outlook to the indoor spa. A breathtaking Calacatta marble kitchen is an adjoining showpiece that boasts integrated Miele appliances (fridge/freezer, cooktop, ovens) accompanied by a fully-equipped butler's kitchen/pantry.
Ascending a sweeping staircase to a gallery-style landing overlooking the void, deluxe upper-level accommodation is introduced by an extra-large lounge retreat with a marble-topped kitchenette. Four superbly-curated bedroom suites, each with their own marble ensuite and walk-in/built-in robes (one offers a study) include an opulent main featuring a designer dressing room, north-facing balcony and an indulgent double-vanity ensuite with a freestanding bath and frameless shower.
A fifth ensuite bedroom is located on the ground-floor for family and guest's flexibility, while further highlights include a full laundry, double-glazing, biometric keyless entry, CCTV surveillance, security alarm, central heating and refrigerated cooling, ducted vacuum, extensive under-stair storage, pool and terrace-side bathroom, landscaped garden, automatic gate entry and a remote-control four-car garage, all underscoring the home's exceptional scale, security and entertaining perfection.
In a league of its own within one of the Balwyn North's most revered lifestyle enclaves, this illustrious new residence makes a bold statement in classically-inspired, contemporary family grandeur close to local shopping villages, Box Hill Central, Westfield Doncaster, peaceful parklands, walking trails, Boroondara Sports Complex, trams, buses, freeway and an impressive array of easily-reached primary and private schools.
