High on impact, big on space and large on lifestyle, this amazing architect design from RMA lives large! Dramatically blurring the boundaries between inside and out with walls of high-spec commercial glazing, this four bedroom, dual study, 2.5 bathroom home offers a new angle on family living with an innovative inverted floorplan that opens outwards upstairs (to sheltered winter garden balconies) and down (to decked courtyards) from every room.
Immensely family-wise with a private master-wing direct from a spectacular entry topped by a towering void, this breathtaking design zones children's quarters (all with direct garden access) beyond a central lounge. Stepping up to a vast principal living zone with entertainers' bar and theatre wiring, the home angles out beyond a bold black kitchen (with best-in-category Siemens, Miele and Qasair appliances) and centres on two fully-enclosed offices - one easily reimagined as a playspace for the little kids or as a media retreat for big kids.
Balancing between dramatic form and family function with a true double ensuite (with dual-vanity and double shower) and dual walls of robes for the master-domain, the home's interiors feature luxe fittings including concealed-cistern WCs and a Corian freestanding bath and bold finishes including sleek Corian benchtops. Blending plush carpets with super-wideboard Oak floors, and velvety Venetian render with floor-to-ceiling bathroom tiling, there are airy linen sheers and block-out blinds supplemented by sun-sensor auto awnings, and LED strip lighting inside and out.
Climate-controlled over 5 zones with an additional gas log fireplace and airy ceiling fans, the home is secured by 8-camera CCTV and an alarm, and offers two covered carspaces. Set in a low-maintenance landscape of decking, formed concrete and lush plantings irrigated by a 20,000L underground water tank, this high-impact home enjoys a low-traffic location at the heart of the in-demand Gardenvale Primary School Zone, a walk of North Brighton station and Bay St's café society, one block to the Hawthorn Rd tram and a stroll to both Hurlingham and Landcox Parks.
