An extraordinary architectural masterpiece, this one-year-old custom-designed residence makes a commanding impression with its contemporary palette of materials, crafted to harmonise with its spectacular natural surrounds. Spanning three grand levels, the home embraces its bushland setting, with vast walls of glass drawing the outdoors in and forging a seamless connection with the landscape.
An oversized timber door opens to welcome you inside, where Kustom Timber wide-plank engineered floors flow throughout, uniting the carefully curated interiors. The layout has been intelligently planned with family living in mind, with each level accessible via a striking fishbone Blackbutt staircase or a two-way opening lift.
The heart of the home lies in a spacious open-plan zone featuring a generous dining area and a large family room with custom joinery, opening to an alfresco deck on either side for effortless lounging or outdoor dining. The designer kitchen sits adjacent, a true entertainer's delight, with a substantial central island to gather around, stone benchtops and splashbacks, and abundant contrasting cabinetry. There is a Zip tap, and top-of-the-range Miele appliances including an integrated fridge and freezer, induction cooktop, semi-integrated dishwasher, steam oven and convection oven, plus a butler's pantry that provides discreet storage nearby.
Two further living areas ensure every member of the family has room to relax and entertain, including a formal lounge with a built-in wet bar and an impressive rumpus room, set apart as a private retreat. Extending from here is a north-facing covered alfresco deck overlooking low-maintenance landscaped gardens, where natural stone across tiered levels creates a series of inviting outdoor areas. There is ample room for a firepit, the ideal place to unwind during the cooler months while enjoying the gentle sounds of the Yarra River, which borders the property, and the picturesque vistas beyond.
As a crowning touch, a breathtaking infinity pool and spa create a sublime space for leisure and enjoyment. Both are salt-chlorinated and heated by gas or electricity, while a drop-down TV adds another layer of indulgence as you take in the leafy outlook.
Five well-proportioned bedrooms, each with a walk-in robe, and four beautifully appointed bathrooms are spread across the home, supported by two powder rooms. The bathrooms showcase floor-to-ceiling tiling, bespoke vanities, statement bronze tapware and fittings, and heated towel rails.
Completing the accommodation are two versatile rooms. One on the upper level with a split system is ideal as a hobby room, home office or studio, and another on the lower level is well suited to a home gym or study. There is also a sizeable mud room and a storage-rich laundry with a linen chute and ironing cupboard, complemented by additional floor-to-ceiling cabinetry close by.
A host of premium inclusions completes this remarkable residence, including hydronic heating, reverse cycle heating and cooling, designer lighting, tailored curtains and blinds (some electric), CCTV and an alarm system, side access with off-street parking, and a four-car garage with built-in storage and internal access.
The location, among a wealth of sought-after amenities, is the final piece of this enviable puzzle. You're moments from local buses, the parklands of Westerfolds Park and the Porter Street Picnic Area, and Templestowe Village, with its boutique stores, restaurants and cafes. The home is also zoned for Templestowe College.
Set on a sweeping 2,856m² allotment (approx.), this is a lifestyle proposition of rare scale and distinction, where architectural excellence meets the beauty of the Yarra River and the bushland that frames it. An opportunity of this calibre demands your attention, so arrange your inspection today and discover a home that truly must be experienced to be appreciated.
