Beautiful landscaped garden, a return driveway and an exceptional Edwardian profile create a magnificent presence at an auspicious address for 'Casa Otto', a substantial five bedroom and study luxury residence gracing a 1020 sqm approx. allotment. Barrington Avenue is widely regarded as one of Kew's finest and with its architect-designed focus on indoor-outdoor excellence, this stunning family home sets the standard within walking distance to a host of leading private schools.
Layers of tranquil greenery give way to the elegant character that extends from an entrance hallway and light-filled home office, to a large main bedroom featuring a bay window, gas fireplace, a walk-in wardrobe and a deluxe double-vanity ensuite with underfloor heating. A shift in style defines an inspiring formal lounge room where a striking gas fireplace and a concealed cocktail bar evoke the high spirits and sophistication of a Seventies entertainment room.
A powder room precedes a two-bedroom accommodation wing with built-in robes and desks coupled with a family bathroom, while two additional bedrooms with split-system heating/cooling plus a third bathroom are spread out over the perfectly proportioned first floor. Oriented north overlooking sunlit pool-side garden, an expansive ground-floor family zone at the rear follows a series of spaces designed for relaxed gatherings with family and friends all throughout the seasons.
Revolving around a huge luxury kitchen boasting top-line V-ZUG appliances, a breakfast island, walk-in pantry and study/workstation area, separate living and dining areas flow into a dedicated and air-conditioned family room accompanied by a handy powder room. Direct access from multiple points make large-scale entertaining an effortless experience on an undercover terrace with a BBQ kitchen backdropped by a self-cleaning, solar-heated pool and glorious landscaped garden.
Further is a large laundry with a drying cabinet, remote-control internal garage (easy lane access) and a storeroom, as well as a front carport and off-street parking. Additional features of the home include hydronic heating, air-conditioners, alarm system, CCTV surveillance, oak floorboards, under-stair and attic storage, external shower, fish pond, garden lighting and automatic irrigation system.
A beautifully-curated and impeccably-presented sanctuary, 'Casa Otto' is a sublime showcase of family perfection combining luxurious appointments, high-end functionality and superb spatial aesthetics bathing in sunshine. A rare opportunity in an elite lifestyle setting close to prestige schools including MLC, Xavier, Ruyton, Trinity and Carey Grammar, High Street, Cotham and Glenferrie Roads trams, Kew Junction and Glenferrie shopping precincts, local cafes and expansive Victoria Park.
