Overview

Historic grandeur meets resort-style living.

'Maison de Fleurs' is a historic Art Deco masterpiece situated on a prestigious and expansive 4,048 square meter estate in Donvale, a district known for its affluent and picturesque acreages. This iconic homestead combines deep historical significance with modern luxury and comfort, featuring a sophisticated hydronic radiator heating system for year-round climate control. Elevated to overlook rolling hills, the residence showcases classic Art Deco grandeur with 3-meter ceilings, ornate plasterwork, and polished hardwood floors inlaid with carpet. The home is warmed by whisper-quiet hydronic radiator heating, complemented by timeless brass light switches and plantation shutters. Modern enhancements include an 8-seater home cinema equipped with Sonos sound system and a granite kitchen with European appliances, elevating everyday living. The leisure precinct is centred around a resort-style pool and cabana/guest house, enhanced by a private health and wellness sauna and bluestone terraces perfect for grand-scale entertaining. The grounds are self-sustained with a large water tank and an automated garden irrigation system, nurturing lush English-style gardens framed by mature oak trees and standard white roses. The home offers five bedrooms, including a master suite with a dual-shower ensuite, all strategically zoned for privacy and comfort. Additional refined spaces include a bay-windowed library and a hideaway man cave, both benefiting from the hydronic radiator heating system, and the chilled-water air conditioning system. Dual crossovers provide seamless access to the vast grounds, with ample parking available for guests during large gatherings.
