Grand in scale and enriched with exquisite detailing, Christopher Doyle's architectural artistry and Davies Henderson's renowned craftsmanship shape this French-inspired residence into a statement of Bayside refinement and prestige. It is perfectly complemented by Paul Bangay's impeccably curated gardens, where every element speaks to an unwavering commitment to excellence, culminating in a residence of rare distinction mere metres from the Golden Mile foreshore.
Beyond a distinctive facade, the refined style of the late Stuart Rattle is showcased amongst the expansive proportions, underpinned by high ceilings, bespoke joinery, and European oak parquetry, with picture windows framing layered garden views at every corner. The central oval foyer invites connection through a designer dining room, a sitting room warmed by a gas fireplace, and an executive home office with tailored cabinetry, each opening to the north-facing formal gardens.
The entire ground floor adapts effortlessly to large-scale entertaining or quiet family moments, continuing to the open-plan casual domain, enriched by a marble-detailed kitchen with Gaggenau ovens, an Ilve gas stove, and a well-appointed butler's pantry. French doors reveal a secluded rear garden, where towering hedges form a sanctuary around the pool, a stone-paved terrace, and a heated cabana with an outdoor bathroom.
The accommodations are equally impressive, headlined by a north-facing main bedroom suite with his and her dressing rooms, lavish en suite, bath and balcony, and a second king-sized bedroom with an ensuite, ideal as a guest suite. Two additional king-sized bedrooms and a large central bathroom each open to the broad, poolside balcony. A top floor multi-purpose living space and theatre adapts to needs with ease, ideal as a second office or to allow kids to enjoy their sense of independence. The basement accommodates a four-car garage, two storerooms including one with built in a wine racking, and abundant mudroom storage.
In a prestigious setting steps from North Point Cafe and the beach, and moments from Bay Street and Martin Street Village restaurants, cafes and shops, and a range of elite schools, the home is comprehensively appointed with security and alarm, lift shaft, intercom access, outdoor lighting and auto irrigation, and an in-built sound system.
