A picture-perfect Art Deco facade is just the beginning of the exceptional renovation & extension that unfolds throughout this breathtaking architect’s own home to create a once in a lifetime family masterpiece. From the moment you enter the original front section of the home, peacefully set back from the street behind an enclosed front garden setting, you’ll immediately get a sense of the seamless integration between the old & new. Where the original 1940’s period charm & character of yesteryear including beautifully restored rich timber detail, magnificent decorative ceilings, ornate cornices, picture rails & etched glass doors blend effortlessly with the modern contemporary comforts of today. The wide & welcoming entrance hallway with timber flooring delivers an inviting generously proportioned lounge, three comfortable bedrooms (two with built-in robes) & a sparkling central bathroom. The hallway culminates in the architect designed “piece de resistance” - the light saturated heart of the home – a northerly oriented open plan living & dining zone highlighted by the dramatic use of two storey high windows, polished concrete flooring, soaring 6m high ceilings, designer lighting, glass & landscaping to create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience with an air of tranquillity & luxury. Further complemented by expansive bi-fold doors that open right out to a blissfully private rear garden sanctuary with elevated alfresco deck, built-in BBQ/outdoor kitchen & sparkling pool (gas/solar heated), setting the scene for intimate family gatherings or lavish entertaining. While a gourmet kitchen & butler’s pantry entices with a stunning Zimbabwe Black Granite central island bench, a suite of high-end Miele appliances (including induction cooktop, two ovens & integrated dishwasher), mirrored splashbacks & an abundance of soft close cabinetry. The downstairs extension also features a stunning additional bedroom with built-in robes & garden views, handy kids retreat/study space & stylish powder room. The inspired design & uncompromised quality continues upstairs to an illuminated mezzanine level with custom built study space & a luxuriously appointed main bedroom suite encapsulated in floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning leafy outlook, engineered timber feature wall, built-in furniture, large walk-in robe/dressing room & deluxe fully tiled ensuite. This exceptional home also delivers off street parking for two cars behind auto front gates, video intercom entry, irrigation, surround sound system, automatic blinds, ducted heating/cooling, split system heating/cooling, double glazed windows, three open fireplaces, massive attic storage space (with ladder access), upstairs storeroom, laundry & large workshop. Conveniently located moments from vibrant Glen Huntly Road’s shops & cafes, a choice of transport options, Booran Reserve, well regarded schools & Caulfield Racecourse.
