"Maison de Fleurs" - A Historic Art Deco Masterpiece on Prestigious Donvale Acreage
Poised on an expansive 4,045sqm (approx.) estate along the storied street named after original landowner Mr. Harris, this Art Deco homestead embodies Donvale's legacy as an affluent, picturesque district where prestigious acreages offer country club freedoms. Among these hallowed hills, "Maison de Fleurs" stands as one of the most iconic - a property where deep historical lineage meets resort-calibre luxury and year-round comfort through its sophisticated hydronic heating system.
From its elevated position overlooking the rolling hills, the residence unveils a symphony of Art Deco grandeur with 3-metre ceilings, ornate plasterwork, and polished hardwood floors inlaid with carpet - all gently warmed by the whisper-quiet hydronic heating. Brass light switches and plantation shutters whisper of timeless elegance, while modern enhancements like the Sonos-equipped 8-seater home cinema and showcase granite kitchen with European appliances elevate everyday living.
The resort-style pool and cabana/guest house form the heart of the leisure precinct, complemented by a private health and wellness sauna and bluestone terraces ideal for grand-scale entertaining. A 55,000-litre water tank with automated garden irrigation system sustains the lush English-style gardens, where mature oaks and standard white roses frame the property's majestic façade.
Five bedrooms, including a master suite with dual-shower ensuite, are strategically zoned for privacy and comfort with the hydronic heating system ensuring perfect temperatures throughout the seasons. Refined relaxation spaces like the bay-windowed library and hideaway man cave benefit from the same thoughtful climate control. Dual crossovers ensure seamless access to the vast grounds, where ample parking accommodates guests for grand scale entertaining.
