Privately set and intimately secluded on a remarkable 4,015sqm of level park-like gardens at the end of an exclusive east side cul-de-sac, this extraordinary home (c1934) was once part of the historic 'Pibrac House Estate' and has evolved over the last 90 years into a significant family residence of commanding proportions, effortless luxury and timeless grace. A series of carefully considered renovations and bespoke additions have created distinct formal and informal wings for living and entertaining on the ground floor, with spacious accommodation spanning the upper levels plus a self-contained guest or in-laws cottage featuring separate access from Bangalla Street at the rear.
The residence is a testament to the owner's devotion to maintaining architectural integrity whilst enhancing functionality and contemporary style, and together with the spectacular grounds surrounding the home provides an indoor/outdoor lifestyle quite simply beyond compare. Bathed in all-day sun with a desired north rear aspect, the gardens evoke thoughts of a picturesque English countryside estate complete with established greenery on all sides, a summer garden house and sprawling verandahs. Also included is a 12.5 metre swimming pool, synthetic grass north-to-south tennis court and a golf putting green, this is resort-style family living at its absolute best.
Among the home's many other special qualities is a fully equipped home cinema, a spectacular wine cellar/tasting room, an executive study and a lavish master suite with brand new ensuite, a walk-in robe/dressing area and a sunroom overlooking the gardens, court and pool. A true dress circle east side setting, surrounded by quality homes, minutes to Warrawee Station, Knox Grammar School and Abbotsleigh, as well as providing easy access to shopping, cafes, restaurants and local parks. A statement in refined living, this outstanding estate offers an unrivalled lifestyle with a privileged address.
