28 Bayview Street, Prahran VIC 3181

Imagine sitting in your living room and watching the hot air balloons pass overhead or entertaining around the Jetmaster fireplace with the stars shining above you on a cold winter's night. This is the reality in this inspirational 2-storey 3-bedroom plus a study residence.
Drawing on the beauty and open air aspects of a Tuscan Villa, this designer home with an in-ground pool brings the essence of Italian architecture to the heart of Prahran. Cutting-edge commercial-style design is showcased at its daring best with huge panes of glass creating a glass-roofed, sun drenched void, with an internal courtyard leading off the living room; while panels of glass form part of the floor in the northern media room complete with a comprehensive home theatre system. Artisan finishes such as authentic Tuscan rendered walls, polished concrete flooring, a bridge traversing the void joining the upstairs and ponds that elevate the home's unique and peaceful ambience. The master bedroom on the ground-floor adjoins a northern retreat extending to a private courtyard, and is fitted with a walk-in robe and an ensuite. Two further fitted bedrooms are on the top-floor with a fitted study, a sky-lit European bathroom with bidet, and the northern living room opening to a wisteria-draped balcony with wonderful views of the streetscape and city skyscrapers. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with solid American Oak cabinetry, top-of-the-range induction and gas cooking, electric oven, granite work surfaces through to a large pantry. Fitted with a window servery to the serene entertaining courtyard with a glass-framed solar heated pool and gas-plumbed BBQ, this makes it an ideal area for entertaining. Bi-fold doors in the main living and dining draw the courtyard indoors further enhancing the home's open air attributes. The appointments are extensive from hydronic heating to solar hot water, ducted vacuum, surround sound, an intercom system and an internet network accessible from every room. Truly, one of a kind, this breathtaking home resides in one of Prahran's revered lifestyle settings between Hawksburn Village and High Street.
