Discreetly positioned behind secure automated gates on a generous 1,061m2 (approx.) allotment, this impeccably designed contemporary residence sets a new benchmark for privacy, security and refined family living. A semicircular driveway sweeps beneath a covered portico entrance, establishing an immediate sense of arrival and prestige, while a sleek monochrome exterior, wrought iron door and keycode entry complete the picture of a home engineered for both elegance and ease.
An expansive hallway entrance draws the eye through a sunlit interior and beautifully private garden and a sparkling 15m x 4m pool. A soaring double height void graces the formal sitting room, connecting through bifold doors to the automated pergola, alfresco terrace and lap pool, establishing a seamless indoor-outdoor connection from the moment of arrival.
Thoughtfully oriented to channels abundant northern light into the two principal living zones, the vast open plan living and dining area is superbly proportioned, featuring a sweeping expanse of neutral, light filled space framed by soaring ceilings and a wall of tall bifold doors that dissolve the boundary to the alfresco, delivering big sky views and effortless flow. A media room with pull-down screen and integrated surround sound offers a dedicated leisure retreat, while sliding interior doors allow zones to connect or close as the occasion demands.
The kitchen is exceptional in scale and appointment: a deep stone central island, Miele induction cooktop, Miele oven and Vintec wine fridge, complemented by a butler's pantry with stainless steel benchtops, integrated dishwasher and generous pantry storage. A stylish powder room with elegant tiling, a well-appointed mudroom and laundry, and a comprehensive home office with three study positions and copious built-in cabinetry round out the ground floor, with the flexibility to convert the office into an additional bedroom if desired.
Outside, a stunning entertainer's domain awaits featuring an automated pergola beside the lap pool, resort-like in appeal, private and effortlessly maintained. External lighting, an outdoor WC and four garage spaces across two garages, each with windows suited to gym or multipurpose use, and each with internal and external access.
A wide staircase rises to a spectacular first floor retreat, framed by a wall of windows with outstanding views to the distant ranges, making the perfect everyday sanctuary.
The primary suite is simply exceptional: a vast, serene space with a private study/WIR, gas fireplace and a luxurious ensuite with a walk-in shower, spa bath, bidet, skylight and heated towel rail. A second bedroom enjoys ensuite access to the large family bathroom, while two further bedrooms, both with built-in robes, round out the upper level.
A comprehensive security and camera system, solar PV, automated window blinds, heating and cooling, and impeccably maintained presentation complete a residence of extraordinary distinction. Zoned to Templestowe Heights Primary School and Templestowe College, and moments from Ruffey Creek, Yarra Trails, Aquarena, excellent freeway access and a choice of shopping villages.
