An architectural masterpiece by renowned Nicholas Wright, this remarkable residence offers flowing, functional resort-style luxury with unrivalled hospitality prowess, delivering the highest calibre of family living in Melbourne's premier beach enclave.
Framed by a tightly held street loved for its foliage and family atmosphere, a stone-clad façade, feature palm tree, putting green, and pivot door prelude an interior designed to merge seamlessly with outside. Gifted an ambiance of prestige, airiness, and sun-soaked distinction by swathes of travertine, three-metre ceilings, and full-height, double-glazed glass running the length of the ground floor's stellar main spaces. Ribbons of stone, upscale Miele appliances, extensive cabinetry, and a butler's pantry all feature in a gourmet kitchen, while a fireside living/dining section and neighbouring lounge room become one with the home's point of focus. Boasting a plumed barbecue and kept private by Manchurian Pears, a north-facing outdoor domain is a delight for morning laps in an eighteen-metre pool, a Sunday barbecue surrounded by family, evening by the open fire, and midnight dip in the bubbling spa, while a built-in trampoline ensures kids always have an outlet for their energy.
Wonderful to wake up in each morning, a ground-floor main bedroom enjoys a walk-in robe, access to front and backyards, and a travertine ensuite with a soaker tub, twin-basin vanity, and walk-in rain shower, complemented by expansive accommodation above. A bathtub and separate powder room both enhance a travertine central bathroom, joining robes and study desks in serving bedrooms two, three, and four. An open retreat provides further flexibility, while a fully equipped cinema room serves equally well as a rumpus room or fifth bedroom.
Sweeping views are a brilliant backdrop for evenings on a broad balcony, while the abode's other highlights include under-floor heating and an additional bathroom downstairs, abundant bespoke joinery, plush carpets, ducted heating/refrigerated cooling, solar and gas pool/spa heating, garden irrigation, travertine pavers, full-height doors, integrated ceiling audio, electric sheer and block-out blinds, keypad entry, an alarm, retractable pool cover, outdoor shower, full-size laundry, oversized double garage, and electric-gated sandstone driveway. Steps to Were and Dendy Street Villages, famous Church and Hampton Streets, and picturesque Brighton Beach while near elite schools, city trains, and golf courses.
