Majestic in scale and breathtaking in design, this grand European-inspired domain rises with stately presence on the preferred north-facing rear, high side of a tree-lined street within the coveted Balwyn High School zone. Framed by towering colonnades in a commanding elevated position, this brand-new family residence stands as a statement of prosperity and refinement delivering indulgent living of an international calibre across 108 squares (approx.) and three magnificent, lift-accessed levels.
The arrival experience is nothing short of spectacular where wrought-iron double doors introduce a marble-tiled foyer and a custom-built oak staircase sweeping to a soaring ceiling with a bespoke leadlight skylight. Every detail exudes uncompromising luxury: French oak herringbone parquetry, luxe natural stone finishes, imported lighting from the USA, double-glazed windows and doors, Villeroy & Boch bathware, state-of-the-art security and a vast eight-car lower-level garage.
Extensive accommodation of six deluxe ensuite bedrooms are staged over all three levels including a palatial parents' retreat with its reception-style entry, customised haute couture dressing room and ornate ensuite with a freestanding bath. A top-level lounge room with a bar area, ground-floor executive study and formal sitting room (marble gas fireplace), and a basement wine room, gold-class cinema with a starlight ceiling plus a dedicated gym further confirm its world-class standing.
The kitchen is a masterpiece in its own right with spectacular Venice Gold marble and a suite of top-of-the-range Gaggenau appliances paired with an integrated Miele fridge/freezer, large waterfall island and a huge butler's pantry - ideal for grand-scale entertaining. Beyond, a soaring double-height family dining and living zone draws in streams of northern light through monumental picture windows, where Wi-Fi controlled curtains echo the precision and beauty of modern luxury.
An enclosed alfresco pavilion, dressed in marble and limestone tiling, is perfect for all-weather entertaining featuring a Beefeater BBQ, commercial rangehood, integrated sink, ceiling fan and speaker system, while further is a secluded north-facing terrace and a remarkable indoor swimming pool (skylights, heat-pump) with a Canadian cedar sauna (Harvia heater from Finland) and a full bathroom, offering a private resort-style sanctuary within the home.
Additional attributes include a powder room, full laundry, Italian internal lift, multi-zone ducted heating/cooling, alarm, CCTV surveillance, video intercom, Cat6 ethernet, vacuum cleaner robot station, plush Australian wool carpet and copious storage, along with Wi-Fi controlled front gate and garage door.
An extraordinary lifestyle opportunity where grandeur, exclusivity and convenience are united at the very highest level, this all-new landmark residence represents a once-in-a-generation acquisition in a blue-ribbon pocket surrounded by tranquil parkland and leafy boulevards, leading schools including Fintona, Camberwell Grammar, Trinity, Xavier, MLC and Carey, vibrant shopping villages, gourmet dining, renowned cafés, and easy access to the freeway and the city.
