An extraordinary expression of contemporary living and design, Emerald Hill House by the award-winning ROAN Group raises the bar for architectural ingenuity in a serene, private inner-city setting, just steps from South Melbourne Market. Soon to feature in The Local Project, its complex engineering and exceptional material palette are matched by spectacular outdoor living, from poolside garden entertaining to a rare double garage and an exclusive rooftop terrace commanding panoramic 360-degree views across the city skyline.
Light moves through the principal living spaces from multiple directions, with full-height glass and stacked sliding doors dissolving the separation between the interior, garden and heated pool. Ambient with a wood-burning fireplace, the open-plan living domain is accompanied by a showpiece kitchen, with sublime marble carried through the curved island and splashback, offset by granite benches beneath a timber-lined ceiling pierced by slimline skylights. Fully integrated to maintain visual cohesion, a hidden bar conceals a Vintec wine fridge and supports a premium culinary suite of Gaggenau appliances, Liebherr refrigeration, and Miele dishwashing, with a secondary DishDrawer discreetly positioned within the walk-in pantry.
Four bedrooms and three bathrooms occupy the first floor, including a choice of ensuite bedrooms. The sumptuous main suite offers uninterrupted city views, with custom built-in robes and an ensuite distinguished by a freestanding Agape bath and a honed Rosa marble vanity. Oculus skylights wash the showers with natural light, accentuating deep-toned, full-height tiling, Brodware tapware, and underfloor heating, while a second living room is enriched by Japanese ceramic tiled floors, soaring vaulted ceilings, and bespoke media cabinetry.
In a quiet one-way street prized for its proximity to Albert Park Village, leading schools, the CBD, the light rail and trams, this one-of-a-kind residence includes a laundry with floor-to-ceiling storage and drying cupboard, hydronic slab heating, ducted heating and cooling, acoustic insulation, low-toxicity materials, CCTV, video intercom, app-controlled systems, a four-person sauna, workshop, powder room, 5,000-litre underground water tank and oversized double remote garage.
