When the current owner overhauled every single aspect of what is now a bespoke four-bedroom family sanctuary, it was done with the intent of never selling. It was to be their forever home. As such, you won't find anything done by half measures here, whether it's the manicured landscaped gardens that dress the exterior in a picture-perfect light or glamorous interior that's the epitome of five-star quality. This is a home where the difference is most certainly in the detail and it's positioned in a superior location in the heart of Manningham.
After all, whereas others require a car to reach Aquarena Leisure Centre, Ruffey Lake Park, St Gregory The Great Primary School, Macedon Square shops and Westfield Shoppingtown, all you need is a comfortable pair of shoes given every single one of those local assets are within walking distance. And should you ever need to take your car out of its comfortable remote double garage accommodation, the close proximity of the Eastern Freeway/Eastlink makes travelling around town - or to the Mornington Peninsula! - a breeze.
A stately entrance is a fitting introduction to this architecturally brilliant home, where a video intercom offers a secure screening element before the contemporary timber door swings open to a breathtaking split-level interior.
The intelligent floorplan functions seamlessly for practical everyday family living, with all four bedrooms (Master with fully-tiled ensuite and generous built-in robes) zoned on a private accommodation level along with a hotel-style family bathroom, luxuriously styled with a semi-frameless shower, floating his and hers vanity and a freestanding soaker bath. Should more sleeping space be required, the large home office at the front of the home offers a suitable fifth bedroom option with built-in robes.
The impressive nature of the formal and communal living spaces will also instantly appeal, from their excellent proportions and remarkable quality to the manner in which they can adapt to suit a host of living requirements. Take the formal lounge, for example, which offers a peaceful setting to unwind and relax in front of the gas log fireplace yet also provides an elegant area to enjoy pre-dinner drinks and canapes with friends given its seamless access with the contemporary decked courtyard.
Excellent versatility also defines the spectacular open-plan living, which has the primary responsibility of functioning as an everyday communal hub yet is big enough to host glamorous sit-down functions, with meals created in the first-class two-pack kitchen boasting a grand island bench, waterfall Caesarstone benchtops, quality ILVE stainless steel appliances and loads of storage for your pots and pans.
Picture-perfect living extends to the pristine and private backyard, landscaped with a lush rear lawn set against a stunning backdrop of mature trees. And when the stars are out on a clear night, the paved outdoor entertaining area is where you'll want to be when dinner is served.
A statement of excellence and cutting-edge design, this luxury-filled home also features built-in ceiling speakers to both living areas, fully-tiled powder room, abundant storage options, sleek laundry, plantation window shutters throughout, energy-efficient LED lighting, security alarm, split-system cooling and ducted heating.
