There are properties, and then there are landmarks. Built circa 1975 by prominent local builder Mr Kosky as his own private family home, The Kosky Residence has commanded the attention of Sunshine West for more than half a century - and standing before it today, it is not difficult to understand why.
Set on an extraordinary double allotment of approximately 1,354sqm in Sunshine West's premiere pocket, this grand five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence spans two immaculately presented levels - a home of entirely different standing. Walking distance to Glengala Road shops and public transport places every daily convenience comfortably within reach.
The interior is equal to every promise the exterior makes. Original hardwood floors flow throughout a ground floor of genuine grandeur - a formal lounge anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, a large living room, a formal dining room bathed in natural light, and an arched passage connecting them with quiet elegance. The stone kitchen is appointed with Smeg and Delonghi appliances, a Bosch dishwasher and a generous island bench beneath pendant lighting, while a sunroom and separate meals area extend the living still further before the deck draws everything seamlessly outdoors. Sensor lighting and security cameras complete the picture throughout.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is a genuine retreat - a study nook, walk-in robe and a fully renovated ensuite finished in marble-look tile with a vessel basin, gold tapware and a walk-in shower beneath a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling. Two further bedrooms with built-in robes share a beautifully appointed central bathroom featuring a herringbone feature wall, freestanding bath and separate shower. A dedicated study and powder room complete the upper level. On the ground floor, a fourth and fifth bedroom are served by a fully renovated bathroom finished in marble-look tile with a freestanding black bath and matte black tapware.
Then there is the land. A hardwood deck opens to beautifully landscaped gardens where a dedicated fire pit zone and water feature set the scene, before an undercover entertaining pavilion complete with its own pizza oven delivers the ultimate in outdoor hospitality. A double garage, two additional sheds and generous side access ensure every practical need is met with ease.
To find 1,354sqm, five bedrooms, multiple living zones and outdoor entertaining of this calibre in Sunshine West's premiere pocket is, without question, a rare event. The Kosky Residence is a landmark of Melbourne's west - the kind of home you slow down to admire every time you pass, and one that must be seen to be truly believed.
