Screened by soaring hedges and high walls, revealed through an elevated entry on Balcombe Road, this architect-designed masterpiece rises as an extraordinary three-level sanctuary where architecture, landscape and endless bay views converge.
Beyond the keyless front door, Tasmanian oak floors set a warm foundation for the spaces to follow. Four bedrooms are arranged with quiet intent: a front-facing room with leafy outlooks, and two robed bedrooms, the three sharing a fully tiled bathroom with dual vanities, bath and shower. Privately positioned to the rear, the master suite features extensive mirrored robes, a twin-vanity ensuite and serene garden aspects across the pool.
Amid rear grounds that unfold like a private oasis - flourishing plantings, tiered boardwalks and lush lawn lead to the solar heated swimming pool with automated Remco pool cover and a self-contained studio. Glazing that draws in the garden, bifold doors, an ensuite and a whimsical mezzanine nook shape the studio into a retreat of imagination and calm.
Ascending to the first floor, where the architecture delightfully merges, form, function and natural elements.. The living, dining and kitchen domain are drenched in daylight, with soaring ceilings above windows of varied shapes and dimensions. The bay forms the constant panorama - wide and ever changing from all vantage points, shifting in character with season and sky. A stone island and quality appliances define the kitchen, while a striking open fireplace introduces intimacy to the grand scale.
Sliding doors dissolve to a vast deck, cinematic in proportion and atmosphere. Here, 180-degree bay vistas sweep across water and neighbourhood - the stage for exceptional entertaining – large or small - or the quiet drama of a sunset, mirrored on the horizon.
This floor also features a fitted study, powder room and a second living room with its own water aspects, balancing retreat with connection.
Beneath it all, the basement provides an auto double garage alongside generous space adaptable as storage, workshop or home gym. Further highlights - ducted heating, split system air conditioning, ducted vacuum, keyless entry and video intercom - underscore everyday ease.
Positioned between the Concourse and Black Rock Village, this haven is defined by its closeness to parklands, Royal Melbourne, leading schools including Mentone Girls Secondary and Beaumaris Secondary as well as the beach.
