Hidden in a prestige cul-de-sac to showcase the finest in craftsmanship, quality, and family-minded design, this Mile-edge retreat brings the atmosphere of a Mediterranean villa to Melbourne's premier beach enclave.
With its canopies of greenery weaving peace and total privacy into everyday life, the home is its own sanctuary away from the outside world. A grand double-door entrance and ultra-wide hallway make an impression to remember, introducing vast front living and sitting areas with a gas-log fire for cosy nights, recessed wall joinery for a theatre setup, and ribbons of sun streaming through sculpted arches. French doors blend inside and out, revealing a north-facing front garden great for sipping on a sunrise coffee, losing an afternoon in a book, and unwinding to the trickle of a water feature.
Swathes of stone, an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, range-topping Barazza cooking appliances, and Abey in-bench preparation sink ensure a statement kitchen can cater for any occasion, while an open meals area wraps around to an expansive dining space and stone-top bar with wine storage for well-over 100 bottles. Shaped hedges bring seclusion and serenity to a backyard reminiscent of the finest luxury resorts, with a gas-heated pool/spa and the vibrant colours of a Chinese Pistache tree centre-stage among a built-in stone bar, Electrolux barbecue kitchen, and multiple entertainer's settings that make large-scale hospitality a breeze.
Headlining first-class accommodation, a magnificent main bedroom enjoys a lengthy walk-in robe, lavish ensuite with twin basins, and northern terrace staging treetop views, joined upstairs by a central bathroom with a bathtub and two further bedrooms with a wealth of robe space. Doubling as a fourth bedroom, an oversized ground-floor office showcases exquisite craft across its oak joinery and workstations, while other highlights include camera security, Italian porcelain tiles, 100% wool carpets, Gessi taps, hydronic ducted heating, comprehensive cooling, marble vanities, automated irrigation, Sonos audio inside and out, a Kylin infrared sauna, large laundry, an outdoor Abey basin and Vintec wine fridge, HeatStrips, a two-car garage, and driveway for two additional cars.
Simply irreplaceable given the workmanship, detail, and sheer expense, it's only steps to Bay Street shops, restaurants, and trains, elite private schools, and the Golden Mile foreshore, with iconic Church Street and Melbourne's best golf courses nearby.
