One of the precinct's finest Edwardian-era homes, Culran, c.1919, is now one of the area's last great family estates with a substantial Queen Anne-style home flowing to modern entertaining poolside surrounds, a basketball key-court and abundant garaging in impeccably landscaped approx 918sqm grounds.
Extending from a gracious solid-brick base to offer architectural four bedroom, 2.5 bathroom accommodation with two studies and three living areas, the home offers an unparalleled combination of period grace and state-of-the-art family living. Opening in grand style with a traditional lounge catching north sun through a sweeping bay-window and a second formal room to double as media, play or work space, the home transitions into the modern day with an elite Miele appliance kitchen with butler's pantry overlooking a towering family zone ...and a seamless flow through wide bi-fold French doors to a poolside entertainer's terrace.
Offering family harmony with a beautiful bay-windowed master-suite (with bespoke walk-in robe and a quietly luxurious ensuite), this architectural design zones a dedicated kids' wing (comprising robe-fitted bedrooms, a multi-workstation study and a similarly luxe family bathroom) quietly to the rear. Appointed to a demanding architectural specification with heated polished-concrete floors, the latest wool loop-pile carpet and streamlined stone benchtops, this finely-crafted home features bespoke joinery including home-office fit-outs and custom timber media-cabinetry around one of two glowing gas fireplaces
Rich with period detail including sparkling leadlight and original bench-seating for each magnificent bow-bay window, and lofty decorative ceilings above authentic timber floors, there's a wealth of contemporary comfort including hydronic heating (zoned in-floor, to panels and towel-rails) and reverse-cycle air-conditioning. Secured by an alarm and video-intercom with the energy efficiency of a 6.5 kW solar-energy system, the high-level appointments continue outside; with surround-sound wired inside and out, solar and electric heat-pump pool-heating, and six-car accommodation including a 3-car auto-garage and carport.
Offering endless educational opportunity in the McKinnon Primary School Zone, this exceptional estate is a walk to Kilvington Grammar and within reach of both Monash University campuses by bus and train. Around the corner from Ormond's retail strip and a few blocks to Ormond station, there's the CBD within 30 minutes and Chadstone within easy reach.
