Radiating substance and stature, this city-viewing lifestyle sanctuary surpasses all accepted norms for family luxury, employing veteran craftsmanship, masses of space, and entertainment prowess to be a family residence that's among Essendon's finest.
With lush landscaping framing a French Provincial-inspired façade, interiors beyond set a tone of grandeur and opulence continued across two sensational storeys. A central staircase parts fireside sitting and sun-splashed piano rooms, while at plan's rear, living, dining, and rumpus areas wrap around a home chef's dream-kitchen boasting granite benchtops, an ILVE feature cooker, Asko dishwasher, and walk-in pantry with under stair storage. Two sets of French doors streamline flow into a columned alfresco, with tall trees and manicured hedges ensuring a north-facing backyard is its own private sanctuary removed from the outside world. Trickling water features add to the ambiance of a sun-soaked pool and spa retreat, while a hedged archway reveals a separate side yard perfect for kids to run around in.
Served by ample storage and a ground-floor bathroom, a versatile lower office/guest room is the ideal complement to accommodation above, with robe-lined third, fourth, and fifth bedrooms joined by a lavish central bathroom with ribbons of marble and a separate WC. A magnificent master occupies its own northern wing to feature a full-size dressing room and marble ensuite, while a vast roof terrace captures spectacular city sights to prove sublime for an afternoon lost in a novel or evening cocktail alongside friends. A scenic southern balcony flanks an open lounge giving teenagers a space to escape to, while other highlights include hydronic heating, ducted refrigerated cooling and heating, gas and wood fireplaces, Phoenix tapware, a large laundry with a drying cupboard, downstairs powder room, multi-purpose storeroom/wet bar, two bathtubs, timber floors, camera/alarm security, gas and solar pool/spa heating, driveway parking, and a double garage with through-access.
Sprawling over 969m2 (approx.) to provide all the space a family could ever need, it's never far from prestigious private schools in St Bernard's, PEGS, Lowther Hall, Ave Maria, and St Columba's, freeways, trains, and trams for easy commuting, Buckley Park ovals, and the Maribyrnong River, with Lincoln Park farmers' markets and North Essendon Village just steps away
