Rising to unexpected heights beyond a traditional Edwardian façade, this luminous architect-design is in a world, and a class, of its own with innovative four bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, multi-suite, tri-level accommodation …easily accessed via auto-gated parking on Florence Lane.
Lit by soaring full-depth skylights, grounded by polished-concrete-floors and linked by elevator to each level, this high-design rises from principal living with a central atrium and a al fresco terrace, to a first-floor sleeping level, to a rooftop skygarden oriented for leafy views …and appointed for entertaining with a fully-plumbed al fresco kitchen with sink and drinks-fridge.
Adaptably accommodating with a beautiful bay-windowed ground-floor master-domain cleverly conceived to double as a quiet formal lounge, plus a treetop master-suite on the first-floor, the home zones secondary bedrooms in a rear wing – each with a walk-in robe and both with access to a shared two-way ensuite.
Showcasing interiors from award-winning interior designer, Beatrix Rowe, the home's interiors star an elegant Shaker-style kitchen with pure-white benchtops and the latest dual matte-black ovens, and marble-finished bathrooms with sleek concealed cistern WCs. Warmed by a satiny Blackbutt-floored entry and stairway, with textured pure wool carpets echoed in linen sheers and block-outs, the home is graced with an abundance of storage; including fitted walk-in and walk-through robes, and a deep butler's pantry extending to a stone-finished laundry.
Beyond prestige with hydronic heating in sub-floor, panel and towel-rail formats, and individual reverse-cycle climate control for every room, the property is secured by keyless-entry, video-intercom, and auto-gated double parking from the rear lane.
Centrally located with the tram at the door and Ripponlea station just across the road, even the location combines timeless beauty and up-to-the-minute amenity with cosmopolitan Glen Eira Rd shopping within 500m, Tennyson St's cafe society within a couple of blocks, and the best of Elwood lifestyle (including the Primary School and Secondary College, the Ormond Rd strip and the beach) within a walk.
