Celebrating breathtaking Bay panoramas and million dollar city skyline vistas on Mount Eliza's 'Golden Mile', this landmark solid rockface sandstone grand Mediterranean villa gracing a majestically landscaped 2,427sqm* corner allotment, elevated above Port Phillip Bay, will captivate with its bespoke fit-out, curated appointments and expansive alfresco terracing incorporating an indoor pool pavilion and a self-contained apartment.
Commanding a castle-like presence, set behind high walls with automated iron gates, the home's golden-hued façade of hand-selected Gosford Quarries sandstone is offset by an Italian terracotta roof with copper trims and bespoke ironwork features. Sandstone columns support vine draped pergolas, while classical statues and fountains enhance the Mediterranean themed gardens and immaculate outdoor spaces including a travertine grand portico with crazy-paved entry via dual driveways, and a sweeping sea view terrace, with outdoor fireplace and built-in barbecue, that connects to the lavish indoor fully tiled swimming pool and spa, sauna, and kitchenette.
An impressive entry is assured as a pair of custom reclaimed antique timber doors open to reveal the gallery-like travertine entry foyer, centred by an ornate fountain and a grand staircase topped by a double height void adorned with a commissioned artwork, which sets the tone for the high-end custom fit out featuring arched shutters, oak panelled walls and recessed doors. The rich materials palette incorporates imported Tibetan silk and wool carpets, Italian travertine, and extra wide format spotted gum timber flooring, while curated American designer pendants and sconces illuminate the 11 foot high ceilings. Designed to optimise the water, city skyline and Macedon Ranges views, and allow for single-level self-contained liveability, the balcony-edged formal and informal living zones, culinary space, indulgent master bedroom suite, and fitted study (or additional bedroom) are on the upper level, which is accessible via the stairs or a commercial grade lift.
Gourmet cooks will appreciate the stone central kitchen, equipped with a suite of integrated Gaggenau cooktops including gas, induction, steamer and deep frier, complimented by a Liebherr tri-zone fridge/freezer, a De Dietrich oven, integrated microwave, two Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwashers and separate chilled and boiled water taps. The lavishness continues on the ground level which comprises another two beautifully presented bespoke bedroom suites, a five-star cinema room, and an entertaining room with wet bar and sliding door access to the alfresco terrace. With its own driveway and garage access, there is also a fully self-contained one bedroom apartment, which adds to the multi-generational liveability, while additional standout features include upper and lower level powder rooms, a double and triple garage, an integrated sound system and back-to-base monitored security, automated drapes, ducted central heating and cooling as well as a wood open fireplace plus a gas flame heater in the Parisian-inspired main bedroom with walk-in robe and under-floor heating in the ensuite. There is also under-floor heating in the travertine entry foyer, a large laundry, all floor-to-ceiling tiled luxury bathrooms, recessed doors throughout, two large-capacity water tanks, garden lighting and irrigation, four water features, two garden sheds, a large lawn area, vegetable gardens, plus an abundance of storage including storerooms and a wine cellar.
This outstanding address is on Mount Eliza's esteemed 'Golden Mile', a short walk to Canadian Bay beach and the village, and just moments to Toorak College.
