Overview

Unrivalled opulence in the heart of Mar Lodge

Private Auction Wednesday 26th August. Bidders must be registered to attend. An expansive Mar Lodge allotment (approx. 928sqm) finds this remarkable residence where architectural excellence with refined sophistication combine to deliver a family lifestyle that's truly in a league of its own. The commanding facade makes a statement, while the sumptuous interior is set to leave an indelible impression with its high ceilings, profusion of light and refined materiality. Benefitting from a thoughtful extension and painstaking renovation, the home's five-star accommodation features a large main bedroom with its own fully-fitted WIR and deluxe ensuite, a secondary master with ensuite as well as three additional bedrooms and 2 further bathrooms all finished to the same exacting standard. As functional as it is beautiful, there's also a dedicated home office, rumpus/lounge (upstairs) and vast open-plan living/dining area offering plentiful space to connect and unwind all complemented by a centrepiece marble-bench kitchen including Miele appliances and butler's pantry with second sink. Uncompromised luxury is further amplified by the inclusion of zoned ducted heating/refrigerated cooling, custom joinery, premium fittings and herringbone engineered floors, along with a large laundry/mudroom and excellent storage solutions (large under-house cellar and attic storeroom via retractable ladder). Double sliding doors effortlessly connect inside and out where the travertine-paved alfresco entertaining area with BBQ kitchen overlooks a backyard expanse with fully-tilled pool and spa, basketball key court and established garden surrounds, plus an oversized double garage via the gated circular driveway with additional off street parking accommodation for 6-8 cars. The best of Essendon at your fingertips including popular eateries, renowned retail precincts and the area's esteemed private schools, it's also close to Keilor Road trams and Essendon Station, as well as easy access to CityLink.
