Architect designed in a tightly held family pocket, this substantial brick residence delivers what many hope for yet rarely achieve - remarkable space, genuine flexibility and ideal multi-generational independence. Beyond its impressive traditional façade, a light-filled double-height entry connects generous three-bedroom family accommodation upstairs with a fully self-contained single-bedroom apartment below, an exceptionally versatile arrangement for extended families, adult children, guests or working from home.
Set in low-maintenance gardens on an elevated 639sqm, the home's impressive scale is enhanced by high ceilings and multi-pane windows that ensure its immaculately presented proportions enjoy abundant natural light and leafy views throughout. Upstairs, a cleverly zoned design caters beautifully to family life, with multiple living and entertaining areas arranged around a superb central kitchen, and three bedrooms divided between a private parents' domain at the front with study/ fourth bedroom, and a children's wing at the rear.
A central staircase rises from the entry foyer to expansive, free-flowing areas zoned as formal living with gas fireplace, second living and a sheltered balcony with leafy, rooftop views. Here, the study with built-in robes provides the option of a fourth bedroom, accompanying the main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite.
At the heart of the floorplan, a professionally designed custom kitchen forms a highly functional hub between front and rear domains. Extensive cabinetry, a Miele induction cooktop, Neff double ovens and a broad island provide an accomplished workspace overlooking family dining and a large family living room with a gas firebox and built-in bar. Beyond, a sun-filled breakfast terrace and extensive paved entertaining areas create an exceptionally private setting for outdoor dining and gatherings, while two further bedrooms with built-in robes are privately positioned at the rear alongside a family bathroom.
Occupying the ground floor, the remarkably spacious single-bedroom apartment has both a separate entrance and internal connection to the main home. Far more accommodating than a conventional guest suite, it includes comfortable living and dining areas with a fireplace, spotless timber kitchen and a large, robed bedroom with its own ensuite. Ready to function independently, it provides rare versatility without compromising the privacy or day-to-day function of either residence.
A family laundry with extensive storage, ducted heating and cooling, ducted vacuum, hardwood timber floors, designer soft furnishings, security shutters, under-house storage, a remote double garage and additional parking complete an exceptional family offering just footsteps from reserve parkland, local shops and buses to the CBD with just minutes to Bulleen Plaza, Marcellin College, Yarra River parkland, Bulleen Park & Ride and the Eastern Freeway.
