In an exclusive Yarra side enclave, the spectacular architect-designed renovation of this evocative period home has created an unforgettable family living and entertaining environment with pool just minutes from elite private schools. Large and luxurious yet carefully designed around family practicality, its timeless interiors offer multiple areas for living and entertaining as well as a selection of beautiful bedroom suites that offer flexibility for any and every stage of family life.
Perfectly private beyond secure landscaped gardens, a broad entry foyer precedes a series of impressive original rooms that retain their classic period elegance in high ceilings, bay windows and multiple ornamental fireplaces and a gas fireplace. Here, a grand formal dining room with bay window seating, ornamental fireplace and adjoining study accompanies a relaxed central living room with built-in media storage. At the rear, stunning open plan living and dining areas with a gas fireplace take advantage of a prime northern aspect with floor to ceiling glass sliders that seamlessly connect to a divine entertaining deck with built in BBQ and a sun-filled easy care garden that features an in-ground trampoline, sumptuous 16m glass fenced pool, and a separate bungalow/ bedroom or home office featuring extensive built-in robes/storage and desk, concealed bar fridge, and ensuite.
Providing the perfect partner for a busy modern family, a meticulously designed and finished kitchen does all the heavy lifting, effortlessly catering to everything from quick pre-school breakfasts to grand benchmark celebrations. Stone benchtops host elite Miele appliances including twin ovens and a built-in Gaggenau steamer with stylish feature cabinetry concealing a breakfast bar, twin Miele column fridges and Miele freezer. Behind, a butler's pantry/laundry provides plenty of additional bench space and storage with a Miele warming drawer, additional dishdrawer dishwasher and convenient drying cupboard.
Accessed via a floating staircase above the pool, a spectacular main bedroom suite forms its own lavish retreat stretching out across the rear of the home against a floor to ceiling backdrop of leafy northern views. Here, a palatial bedroom and sitting domain features twin walk in robes, a central glass enclosed ensuite and app controlled electric blinds and curtains. Five additional bedrooms are located on the ground floor, including an au pair's living quarters with an ensuite and walk-in robe. There is also an adjoining living/office space, another bedroom with robes and an ensuite, and two further bedrooms with robes, all serviced by a central bathroom. Separate to the main residence is a guest house / teen retreat fully equipped with ensuite and kitchenette.
