Custom designed and impressively appointed for uncompromised contemporary family living and entertaining, this outstanding five-bedroom-plus-study Balnarring home has recently undergone a resort-style leisure-focused transformation featuring an alfresco entertaining domain, showcasing a fully mosaic tiled Balinese-inspired heated swimming pool and spa, and Dream Courts basketball practice court with a height adjustable ring.
Set behind automated gates on an 803 square metre* fully landscaped block, in walking distance to Balnarring Village, there is an oversized double remote-operated garage with mezzanine storage and internal access, as well as plenty of off-street parking for a caravan or boat. The double storey rendered brick façade exudes contemporary splendour, and inside, polished concrete-terrazzo flooring flows through a central hallway leading to the expansive open plan living and dining area, with wood fire heater and large-format double-glazed windows and bi-fold doors connecting to the undercover alfresco area. The sleek, gourmet kitchen is defined by an over-sized stone island bench, and a high-end Belling free-standing range with gas cooktop and electric double oven, while the adjoining butler's pantry has plenty of preparation and storage space, as well as a dishwasher and second sink. The flexible, ground floor floorplan also features a second living or media room, a spacious guest bedroom with built in robes, a home office/studio with front and rear access doors, a well-appointed laundry with laundry chute, and a powder room. Upstairs is a retreat/third living area, and the main bedroom suite with a private balcony overlooking verdant countryside and towering pine trees, presenting the perfect spot for enjoying epic Peninsula sunsets. A large walk-in/robe dressing room, and a luxe ensuite with over-sized dual head shower, twin vanity, and separate toilet, complete the parental domain, while the additional three upstairs bedrooms, all with built-in robes, are served by the main bathroom with free-standing stone bathtub and walk in shower, and second powder room.
In collaboration with Peninsula Recycled Timber, this beautifully designed pool area features exquisite, reclaimed timber from the historic St Kilda Pier, paired with Rustic Steel to create a distinctive facade retaining wall. The upper retaining walls are built from durable Ironbark Hardwood, while Egyptian natural limestone paving adds elegance throughout.
Additional features include central gas heating and evaporative cooling, under-stair storage, a plumbed-in Zeigler & Brown barbecue, and a powerful 30-kilowatt electric heat pump for highly efficient heating of both the pool and spacontrollable via smartphone app. A natural gas unit allows for rapid spa heating. Enhancing sustainability, the property includes 26 rooftop solar panels (11.1 kilowatts output), a large-capacity water tank, and an irrigation system for the low-maintenance garden.
Positioned on the leafy edge of Balnarring Village, bordered by Crown Land pine forests, and neighboured by the acclaimed Warrawee wellness hub, it's an easy stroll to the Heritage hotel, IGA supermarket, excellent cafes and restaurants, the primary school, football oval and netball court. Also in close proximity to wetlands nature trails and Balnarring Beach and Tulum Store. Local attractions in a few kilometres' radius include Merricks Beach, Merricks General Store, Somers Beach, and Somers General Store.
