Immersed within a serene native landscape at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, this architecturally designed residence presents a rare fusion of considered design, exceptional craftsmanship and natural beauty. Defined by a series of interconnected pavilions framed by expansive floor-to-ceiling picture windows, the home reveals uninterrupted garden vistas from every angle, creating a remarkable sense of space, light and tranquillity throughout.
Thoughtfully designed by Ellul Architecture as a collection of distinct living, accommodation and utility pavilions, the residence offers both connection and separation, with generous transitional spaces enhancing everyday functionality. Carefully oriented to capture natural light while maintaining privacy, each zone opens to its own outdoor terrace, reinforcing a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Impeccably styled throughout with elegant minimalist interiors, the home features an expansive open plan living and dining area with a wood-burning heater. Immense single-pane windows and sliding doors effortlessly integrate the internal and external living spaces, flowing to an alfresco entertainers’ deck with a mains gas outdoor kitchen. The lush surrounding gardens also include manicured lawn for children’s play, an inviting firepit area, a cubbyhouse, and a woodfired pizza oven.
At the heart of the home, an immaculate contemporary kitchen comprises natural stone waterfall benchtops and splashbacks with an island breakfast bar, abundant soft-close oak veneer joinery, a large butler’s pantry, and quality stainless steel appliances including both 900mm and 600mm ovens, a 900mm induction cooktop, and a fully-integrated dishwasher.
Secluded within a peaceful side wing, a separate rumpus room provides flexibility to adapt with families over time, set alongside an alfresco area with automated retractable insect screens for year-round use. A light-filled private study includes ample inbuilt joinery and a double desk, while the main floor also features a large stone-topped laundry with excellent storage.
Privately zoned within the upper level, the oversized master suite captures a magnificent elevated treetop outlook, and encompasses an enviable fully-fitted walk-in wardrobe leading to a luxe skylit ensuite with floor-to-ceiling tiling and twin rainfall showers.
Superbly laid out for harmonious family living, the upper level includes an inviting retreat living area poised alongside three large bedrooms with generous built-in wardrobes. A skylit family bathroom includes floor-to-ceiling tiling, a frameless glass walk-in rainfall shower, a bathtub and a recessed cistern toilet, and is complemented by a convenient guest powder room on the main floor.
Constructed to meticulously high standards by its owner builder, the home delivers understated luxury throughout. Entirely double glazed and featuring zoned ducted air conditioning and heating for year-round climate comfort, the home features honed concrete bricks interspersed with their classic raw form, blackbutt automated louvered screens to maximise sunlight in winter, retractable insect screens flanking the living room to increase airflow, engineered oak flooring, soaring 3.1m ceilings in the main living space with 2.7m ceilings elsewhere, Fibonacci terrazzo bathroom tiles, automated blinds, and extensive soft-close storage with a walk-in linen press.
With secure remote video intercom and automated gated access to the property, and a large lock-up roller door workshop, the home is equipped with four hardwired external security cameras. A remote double lock-up garage with internal entry includes roller door access to a large rear area ideal for a trailer, while the property also offers abundant additional off-street parking for multiple vehicles and a boat or caravan.
Nestled within a welcoming leafy neighbourhood, the location offers superb connection to urban amenities for growing families.
