The absolute pinnacle of family-focused luxe, this completely bespoke, park-fronting residence employs designer flair, veteran craftsmanship, and the finest appointments money can buy to create a resort-style sanctuary with Melbourne’s pre-eminent beach postcode.
With inspired design spearheaded by Nick Lucas of renowned Architecton, a cutting-edge façade is quick to compel with its sharp lines, clean forms, cedar battens, and Limestone-paved walkway; the last of which guides flow to an interior domain that redefines what luxury can be. Artisan-applied Venetian plaster spans walls and soaring ceilings, joining swathes of Molveno Bianco, Grey Aether, and Onyx marble in creating an ambiance of distinction, sophistication, and splendour. Complemented by a front sitting room with sweeping park views, a sunken lounge with a fireplace sits at the heart of a vast entertainer’s suite, set between formal dining and casual meals areas and flanking a gourmet kitchen sure to excite anyone with a penchant for cooking. A six-metre marble island comfortably seats eight, accompanied in the kitchen by Gaggenau 400-series ovens, a 900mm induction cooktop, coffee machine, Zip Tap, integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer, and an oversized butler’s kitchen.
Sliding stacker glass streamlines flow into a covered alfresco with a barbecue kitchen and heaters for year-round usability, while a tranquil pool house, irrigated landscaping by Acre, total privacy, and all-day rays bring verve and vitality to an Infinity Edge spa and heated pool by Out of the Blue.
Giving the option to live on a single level, two sizeable, ground-floor bedrooms each feature excellent robe space and a well-appointed ensuite, while atop a floating limestone-and-timber staircase, a magnificent main bedroom boasts masses of custom cabinetry, an Onyx-infused ensuite with dual basins and a double shower, and private balcony capturing stunning vistas. Bedrooms four and five each enjoy extensive storage and their own ensuite, while fitted study stations adjoin a substantial retreat and park-viewing balcony to offer outstanding flexibility.
Augmented by a three-car garage and electric-gated parking for several added cars, other highlights include security, 16kW solar energy, double glazing, hydronic heating, zoned heating and cooling, under-floor bathroom heating, merino carpets, electric curtains and blinds, bathroom fixtures from Sussex, Astra Walker, and Avenir, a marble-laced lower powder room, wine storage room, and laundry with commercial-grade Miele washers, a dryer, and Asko drying cabinet. Sprawling over a vast quarter-acre, it’s mere footsteps to great coffee, celebrated cuisine, city-bound trains, elite schools, nature trails, and the Golden Mile foreshore.
