Architectural vision, an interior designer’s eye and professionally landscaped gardens give rise to this extraordinary family residence, where lavish living and resort-style entertaining unite in breathtaking fashion.
The distinction begins in the court. A commissioned sculpture and bespoke garage door establish a striking individual presence, complemented by a water feature and a grand staircase approach to the commanding glass door entrance. Inside, the scale unfolds spectacularly, with a lift imported from Italy connecting the home’s three levels.
Throughout, craftsmanship gives the architecture its depth. Extensive custom cabinetry integrates storage into beautifully composed interiors, while Italian tiles and sophisticated natural stone and Dekton surfaces create a luxurious material palette, brought to life by feature pendants, recessed illumination and joinery lighting.
At the heart of the home, an expansive living and dining domain makes an unforgettable impression. A dramatic 6-metre-high void amplifies the sense of space, extensive glazing draws in natural light, and a gas fireplace beside a textured feature wall creates an inviting focal point. A formal lounge with sliding doors to a garden and an upstairs retreat with a sliding door to a balcony are intimate spaces to relax, both boasting views of Mount Dandenong. A basement theatre room with feature lighting offers an authentic cinematic experience, while an office with a window seat and shelving provides a dedicated room to conduct business.
Sculptural in form and superbly appointed, the kitchen features a comprehensive suite of Miele appliances, including twin steam ovens, an induction stove with an integrated rangehood, an integrated fridge and freezer and an integrated dishwasher. The pantry has pull-out drawers and there is a Blanco sink with a Billi tap providing boiling and chilled water.
Entertaining extends effortlessly through bi-fold doors to a covered alfresco conceived as an outdoor living room. A built-in Beefeater barbeque, gas cooktop, Blanco sink and integrated fridge/freezer cater to gatherings on any scale, while a gas fireplace, fan and automated blinds extend its use throughout the seasons. Beyond, bluestone paving surrounds a mosaic-tiled, solar-heated, self-cleaning pool, set within tropical designer gardens with a firepit area. An outdoor shower and dedicated pool powder room enhance the resort experience.
Five beautifully appointed bedrooms, four bathrooms and two powder rooms provide exceptional family accommodation, with Italian-designed basins adding a further touch of refinement. The primary suite is a private indulgence, featuring access to the mountain-view balcony, a built-in bedhead and a gorgeous dressing room with a leather-topped island, cabinet handles and upholstered seating. Its luxurious ensuite comprises a wet area with a sculptural bath and rainfall shower, along with a twin-basin vanity. A ground-floor guest suite offers welcome flexibility, while the remaining bedrooms feature individually tailored storage with leather handles, two of the bedrooms with ensuites and two sharing a Jack & Jill bathroom. A laundry with integrated clothes hampers and a clothes chute concludes the impressive floorplan.
The home has a 7-star energy rating, along with a list of quality extras, including app-controlled automation that operates the pool, garage door and alarm, tinted commercial-grade double glazing, zoned heating and cooling, ducted vacuum, security cameras, video intercom, solar panels, sheer drapes, automated block-out blinds, a commercial-size hot water service, a water tank, plus garden irrigation and lighting. Extensive basement storage and internal access epoxy-floored garaging for up to six cars complete a residence of remarkable substance.
The prestigious court address in one of Templestowe’s premier pockets places parks, playgrounds, trails and bus services within an easy stroll. Templestowe Park Primary School, secondary colleges, The Pines Shopping Centre, Templestowe Village, Westfield Doncaster and the Eastern Freeway are also just a short drive away.
