A truly grand design—so exceptional it was set to feature on the acclaimed television series—this architect designed residence embodies elegance, natural north facing light and craftsmanship at the highest level. Bespoke finishes and a quality build deliver undeniable style on a sweeping bushland block, with panoramic views capturing the Yarra Valley, Mt Macedon and beyond.
Designed in close collaboration with its owners, the residence achieves a rare balance of architecture and practicality. A gallery-like aesthetic is created through the interplay of black-framed vistas and expanses of white, offering classic sophistication. Curved architectural forms define both upper and lower living areas, while vast glazing and dual sliding doors open to a north facing terrace—a spectacular setting for entertaining. Bird and wildlife provide ever-changing theatre, with a kitchen window seat perfectly placed to admire the outlook.
Upstairs features a flowing split-level living domain, stepping down to a striking kitchen/dining area. A versatile office/fourth or guest bedroom with powder room, mudroom and direct double garage access provide everyday ease—while even the cars become a framed focal point.
Every detail of the design has been carefully considered. Wide hallways, extended height doors and soaring ceilings amplify the sense of scale, while cross breezes cool the interiors in summer and northerly sun provides warmth in the winter months. Hydronic heating with heated towel rails, split-system comfort, R5 insulation and double glazing ensure year-round efficiency, even extending to an insulated garage with a specially imported European insulated door.
The home is seamlessly connected to the outdoors—whether watching the shifting weather and ever-changing landscape or savouring spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the upstairs living domain and kitchen/dining area. A Miele inspired kitchen acts as the heart of the home, complete with cooktop, integrated dishwasher, sleek white designer cabinetry and generous storage. There’s even a delightful surprise: a hidden cubby for the kids, accessed from the kitchen, carpeted and lit to create a secret haven.
The lower level has a more embracing and tranquil character, designed as a private haven while still capturing wonderful views and a calming bushland outlook. Here, polished concrete floors anchor three beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with a dressing area and indulgent ensuite, complete with a freestanding bath positioned to take in the vistas, sleek screenless shower and separate toilet.
Two additional bedrooms are served by a family bathroom of equal sophistication and fully fitted laundry with wine storage and outdoor access, while a curved living area-theatre room, mirrors the sculptural artistry of the upper level, creating a warm, intimate retreat that connects seamlessly with its natural surrounds.
The master suite adjoining the downstairs living zone could easily be converted to a private sanctuary with its own entrance, offering remarkable versatility. Perfect as a boutique B&B retreat, guests can wake to sweeping valley views, soak in the indulgence of a freestanding bath, and enjoy the sense of seclusion.
Equally, this space is ideal for multi-generational living, providing grandparents, adult children or extended family with their own haven—complete with room to relax, unwind and live independently. Whether welcoming paying guests or offering family members their own sanctuary, this thoughtfully designed zone enhances the home’s ability to evolve gracefully with its occupants.
Offering the serenity of living in the Dandenongs with walking track on your doorstep, yet moments from civilisation, the home is close to quality public and private schools and within easy reach of Montrose Village, bespoke hidden Dandenong eateries and the Chirnside Park shopping and entertainment hub. Commuting is effortless with nearby train stations at Mooroolbark and Croydon, plus direct access to EastLink and the city.
This remarkable residence represents more than a home—it is an architectural statement of timeless elegance, modern innovation and a seamless connection to nature, offering a lifestyle that is both elevated and convenient.
