Exuding the decadent majesty of Georgian architecture, this contemporary mansion emanates status and affluence in the prestigious Balwyn High School zone. Traversed by private lift across an extravagant 115 squares (approx.) internally, the sprawling three-level layout delivers five plush living domains, a home office and a library, and leisurely recreation including an indoor swimming pool. Standing grand on an immense 1,012m2 (approx.), the stately façade establishes the splendour found within, adorned with sculpted columns, marbled walkways, and decorative parapet detailing.

A resplendent concerto of marble floors, intricate cornicing, and Czech crystal chandeliers, the interior embodies both the regal elegance of a bygone era and opulent modern grandeur. A sweeping timber staircase and cast-iron balustrade creates a grand entrance, highlighted by a divine leadlight dome soaring 6.5m above.
