Brand new, breathtaking and built to a level of contemporary luxury and sophistication rarely seen in a family home, this is architectural vision at its most refined.
Through the electric sliding gates and in the front door, the entry opens onto a hallway with sliding doors on the right that can close off the front study or leave it open to the north-facing garden view beyond. A full bathroom sits further in, handy for the study, the downstairs living, or guests. The hallway carries you through to the heart of the ground floor, an expansive living and dining room that opens in two directions, with sliding doors on one side leading to a paved pergola and another set at the rear opening onto a patio and garden. Throw both sets open and the whole zone becomes part of the outdoors. The open-plan kitchen is sleek and streamlined with Taj Mahal marble benches, Smeg appliances, a double sink, breakfast bar and a butler's pantry tucked behind. A double garage with internal access through the laundry completes the lower level.
The cantilevered staircase is a piece of architecture in its own right, rising on steel and floating timber treads. At the top, the main bedroom is spectacular with 4.5 metre cathedral ceilings, a tall angular window set into the gable end, a walk-in robe, and an ensuite that holds the cathedral line with skylights overhead, a freestanding soak tub and a moody grey palette closer to a day spa than a suburban bathroom. Three further bedrooms are all fitted with robes, sharing a family bathroom and a separate upstairs retreat.
The supporting detail carries the same deliberate hand. European oak runs underfoot downstairs, wool carpet warms the bedrooms, split systems in every room keep them comfortable, and black-framed windows pull the facade and interiors into one visual language.
The setting is every bit the equal of the build. You're inside the prized Coatesville Primary School zone and catchment for South Oakleigh Secondary College, with St Bede's and St Peter's nearby. Bentleigh Village and buses are close at hand, while Centenary Park East, Dales Park, The Links, Chadstone and Southland are all within easy reach. You're also on the edge of Melbourne's world-renowned Sandbelt, with the historic Yarra Yarra Golf Club and the championship fairways of Commonwealth and Huntingdale moments away.
