A Landmark Ashgrove Renovation with Resort Style Entertaining
Positioned on a generous 678m² parcel in one of Ashgrove’s most desirable streets, this 1950’s character residence has undergone a complete transformation, with an extensive renovation and architectural extension completed within the past two years. The result is a substantial family home offering six bedrooms, multiple living zones and resort level outdoor entertaining, all delivered with a refined material palette and uncompromising attention to detail. From the moment you arrive, the home’s elevated façade and landscaped frontage set the tone. Inside, blackbutt solid timber flooring runs throughout, complemented by soaring cathedral ceiling that crowns the main living domain. Carrara marble features prominently across the home, creating cohesion and a sense of understated luxury. Plantation shutters, VJ panelling and custom cabinetry honour the home’s heritage origins, while modern systems and technology ensure contemporary comfort. The kitchen, living and dining zone forms the heart of the home, opening seamlessly to the rear deck and pool. The kitchen is finished with Carrara marble benchtops and splashbacks, premium Miele appliances and integrated Fisher and Paykel full fridge and freezer. A generous walk in butler’s pantry and breakfast bar enhance everyday functionality. Large openings extend to the covered rear deck with built in BBQ connected to mains gas and wall heating, overlooking the 6.5m x 3.5m mineral pool and private rear garden. Established landscaping, irrigation, formed concrete seating and integrated lighting create a refined yet low maintenance outdoor setting. A fenced lawn and cubby house complete the family focused design. The master suite is privately positioned and thoughtfully designed, featuring a walk in robe and a beautifully appointed ensuite with Carrara marble finishes and custom joinery. The additional bedrooms, all fitted with built in robes, are well distributed across both levels to accommodate families of all stages. Three further bedrooms are located on the upper level near the main bathroom, while downstairs bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, teenagers or extended family. The lower level presents a fully self contained secondary living environment with direct external access. A second kitchen and lounge and dining area create an ideal retreat for older children, visiting grandparents, an au pair or long stay guests. This level also houses a dedicated wellness area complete with gym flooring, additional bathroom and a state of the art ice bath with full filtration system and adjustable hot and cold jets. Adjacent, a striking glass enclosed wine cellar and whiskey bar provide a sophisticated entertaining space. Additional features include a well appointed laundry, extensive storage including garage ceiling access, attic storage from the master ensuite, under stair storage and three linen cupboards. The home is equipped with ducted air conditioning with app control and zoned bedrooms, 3 phase power, 32 solar panels, water tank, security camera system and video intercom. Car accommodation comprises a double garage with app controlled access plus additional single parking under the house. Located close to parkland, cafés and public transport, and within the catchment for Oakleigh State School and Everton Park State High School, the home is also moments from Marist College Ashgrove and Mt St Michael’s College.
