THE DEAL
Spectacular in scale, show-stopping in style. There is nothing tentative about the architecture here. Conceived by the acclaimed Melbourne-based Max Architects, this compelling 4-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom residence draws on linear moments and infuses them with light, proportion and a constant relationship with the outdoors. Every space opens to the northeast, where full-height glass frames the pool and garden in deliberate moments, made to shift with the seasons.
Following a grand glass-encased entrance and formal fire-side lounge, the main living zone opens the home to the pool-facing aspect, unfolding across oak flooring and grounded by a material palette that is both rich and resolved. At the centre, the kitchen holds its own, with high-end Miele appliances, twin dishwashers, integrated refrigeration and a walk-through butler's pantry, echoed by an adjoining built-in mains BBQ and bar fridge outside, extending the host toward the terrace. The connection between indoors and out is uninterrupted, with sliding floor-to-ceiling glass creating a continuous surface from the living area to the self-filling heated pool and spa, shrouded in established, irrigated greenery.
Thought has gone into how one lives here. A private office sits behind the kitchen, discreet and efficient, opening onto a central courtyard, whilst the laundry, full-sized and well-placed, provides direct access to the remote double garage, allowing service spaces to sit neatly behind the primary rooms without distraction. Upstairs, the floor plan offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms, including three ensuites. The main suite introduces a shift in geometry and ambience, where decadent curves bring a quieter atmosphere, leading to a private tree-top balcony, indulgent ensuite with underfloor heating and a freestanding bath, and a generous robe, fit for the latest designer collection.
The lower level shifts the tone entirely. Designed for recreation and readily adaptable, it delivers a fit-out for a cinema, gym, and indoor sports domain with a cricket pitch in play, whilst enhancements include state-of-the-art security and high-fenced perimeters, automated gates to the auto garage, zoned reverse-cycle ducted heating/cooling, powder room, abundant storage and an integrated indoor-outdoor sound system.
