24 Glen Orchard Close, Templestowe VIC 3106

What stood here before and what graces this sprawling 781sqm (approx.) allotment now is so stark that you'd think you were looking at two different homes. And technically speaking, that's true, for the single-level home that once graced this exciting block has been reborn into the two-storey, five-bedroom work of contemporary art that currently stands before you.

Delivering a brand new living experience on a very grand scale inside the Serpell Primary School and East Doncaster Secondary College catchment area, this stunning family residence has been meticulously renovated into a high-end luxury home.

For the grand entertainer, the seamless integration between the spectacular open-plan living and all-seasons alfresco makes for a superb indoor-outdoor entertaining centrepiece; the presence of a gas mains BBQ and fully-tiled in-ground swimming pool with rear deck platform adds further appeal.

When you're not creating a culinary feast with the aid of the outdoor kitchen, do so inside in your cutting-edge gourmet kitchen, where premium European appliances are a cook's dream, as are the waterfall stone benchtops, feature island bench and large walk-in pantry.

Need some relaxation? Play some chillout music as you enjoy the deck's tranquil nature or fire up the gas log fireplace while savouring the peaceful ambience of the graceful formal lounge. There's also the option of retreating to the hotel-style family bathroom and easing any tension with a calming soak in the freestanding bath.

Four generously proportioned downstairs bedrooms (two sharing two-way bathroom access) are thoughtfully tucked away from the home's active hub, with the glamorous Master bedroom claiming the entire upper level to itself offering parents a world of luxury with its large walk-in robes and chic fully-tiled ensuite.

Dressed with manicured yet easy-to-maintain landscaped gardens and featuring a large laundry, downstairs powder room, underhouse storage, warm timber floors, ducted heating/cooling and a double garage with internal access, this ultra-contemporary exhibition of modern living has few equals.

A short stroll to city-bound buses, this coveted location also offers convenient access to The Pines Shopping Centre, Westfield Shoppingtown, Ruffey Lake Park and the Eastern Freeway.
