9 Cunningham Close, Aspendale Gardens, VIC 3195

Enjoy parkland runs, easy strolls to the shops and an enviable lifestyle in one of the area’s most highly sought-after courts. Originally a one-off owner-designed residence, now expertly renovated with a relaxed coastal edge, this impressive up-to-five-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home delivers exceptional space and flexibility for modern family living and entertaining. The interior opens up to a warm sunken lounge before soaring into a spectacular timber-lined, raked-ceiling family domain, crowned by a first-floor mezzanine retreat. Seamless indoor-outdoor living is achieved via a sandstone-paved, all-season alfresco with remote café blinds, perfectly positioned beside a heated swim-spa. Designed to adapt with ease, the luxurious master features a natural-focussed ensuite and expansive walk-in robe, while a bespoke fourth bedroom doubles as a private dressing room (easily converted back to a bedroom if required). Two more generously sized bedrooms upstairs include built-in robes. The home also features a fifth bedroom which is ideally suited as a downstairs home office. Designer finishes continue throughout, highlighted by an elite Miele kitchen with a clever movable island bench. Refined and sophisticated, the home showcases white-washed brick features, warm wide-board flooring, floor-to-ceiling bathroom tiling, a statement freestanding bath in the main bathroom, double-glazed sliders and sheer curtains that invite abundant natural light. Comfort and prestige is assured with central heating and cooling, additional reverse-cycle air conditioning, a stunning gas fireplace, smartphone intercom and alarm system, plus a 14-panel solar array for energy efficiency. Outdoors, professionally landscaped gardens create a tranquil entertainer’s oasis, complete with a curvaceous fire-pit zone and peaceful ‘borrowed’ park-like views from the neighbours. A double auto garage is complemented by additional boat or van parking via a second crossover. Tucked away in a quiet court of prestige homes, this exceptional property is just five doors from the sporting grounds, one block to the shopping centre and primary school, close to leading schools including Haileybury & Parkdale SC, and within minutes of beaches and train stations.
