Set within the prestigious enclave of Keilor Lodge, 18 Rivoli Place is a residence of enduring elegance, architectural character and exceptional individuality. Designed and built by its owner and cherished by the same family for three decades, this distinguished home reflects a deeply personal vision, where timeless classical detailing, grand proportions and beautifully established gardens come together to create an address of remarkable presence and lasting appeal.
Set on approximately 720m² within a quiet court, the residence makes an immediate impression. A white picket fence frames manicured gardens, sculpted hedging, soaring cypress trees and an elegant fountain, while an extensive verandah introduces a façade rich in charm and character. Beyond the front door, polished timber floors, decorative cornices, ceiling roses, chandeliers and carefully considered architectural detailing establish a refined sense of occasion.
The interiors unfold with exceptional generosity. An expansive formal lounge is surrounded by natural light and centred around an ornate fireplace, creating an elegant setting for both intimate evenings and larger gatherings. Separate living and dining domains provide further flexibility, allowing the home to transition effortlessly between everyday family life and entertaining on a grander scale. Roller shutters and security cameras add another layer of privacy and reassurance, creating a welcome sense of security throughout the home.
At its heart, the kitchen is a statement in timeless craftsmanship. Detailed cabinetry, decorative mouldings, display cupboards and a substantial central island are complemented by generous preparation and storage space, creating a kitchen with both presence and practicality. Its connection to the adjoining dining and living areas ensures the heart of the home remains naturally connected to family and guests.
Accommodation offers impressive flexibility across two levels. The principal suite is privately positioned with a walk-in robe and ensuite, while three additional ground-floor bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom. Upstairs, an exceptionally proportioned retreat with its own bathroom creates an adaptable fifth bedroom, guest suite or private living domain an ideal arrangement for extended family, older children or those seeking genuine separation within the home.
The sense of space continues outdoors, where a substantial covered entertaining area provides an inviting setting for long lunches, celebrations and relaxed evenings throughout the seasons. Established gardens surround the residence, while a separate shed and double garage further enhance the home's practicality and appeal.
For all its privacy, the address remains remarkably connected. Everyday conveniences including supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, a gym, local fresh food shopping and Taylors Lakes Hotel are within easy reach, while Catholic Regional College is only a short walk away. Immediate access to the freeway places the city within straightforward reach, bringing together the tranquillity of a family-oriented court with exceptional everyday convenience.
