5A Capitol Avenue, Mckinnon VIC 3204

It's all here in black and white... simply the best in low-maintenance family living at the best College Zone address on McKinnon Hill. The latest from award-winning multi-discipline designer, Carol Whiting, this just-completed four bedroom plus study, 3.5 bathroom home shines with amazing light, endless outlooks and bold black and white tonality across an expansive 30sq dual-suite triple zone family plan.

Designed to house a family in cutting-edge style with a re-conceived formal lounge behind a half-wall, a pool-view family zone soaring to a lightwell void, and a quiet first-floor lounge, this dual suite design promises privacy for parents and kids with a choice of suite upstairs and down, and secondary bedrooms in their own quiet wing.

Making a statement on traditional home design with a high-gabled roofline inset with whimsical gabled window-seats, the home showcases Whiting's signature design with warm finishes (including V-groove panelling and Eco Timber white oak floors), authentic detail (cool natural stones, warm New Zealand wool carpets, soaring commercial glazing) and bespoke fittings (with tapware and whiteware from Mary Noall and a sinuous egg bath)... all set beneath ceilings rising from 3m at ground-level to a lofty vaulted 3.3m up above.

Impeccably appointed with an artful prestige appliance kitchen with induction cooktop, a clever butler's pantry with integrated fridge, and lofty skylit bathrooms with vaulted-ceilings, the home has space to lounge in the playful gabled window-seats, a spot to stretch out on floating banquette seating, and so much practical room in glamorous bult-in and walk-in robes and a home-office area.

6+ Star Energy rated and future-proofed by an all-electric approach, the home features high-tech German in-floor heating (downstairs and extending to the bathrooms upstairs) plus high-efficiency zoned reverse-cycle climate control, a ducted vacuum system, video-intercom and alarm. Expertly utilising generous approx 400sqm westerly grounds with paved areas for kids to bounce, a fully-tiled electric-heated pool to splash out in, and a floating BBQ to entertain around, there's even room for up to three cars including auto-garaging.

Set amongst the prestige homes and designer renovations of the prized McKinnon Hill address, this is a bold new benchmark for family-wise Zone design…just a minute to the station, a minute more to the College, and a walk down the hill to Allnutt Park.
