Dare to dream of the exclusive acre lifestyle that could be yours to savour with this lavish 65sq (approx.) family residence of luxurious proportions.
Gracing the top of one of Donvale's most prestigious cul de sacs on a flat, North-facing acre (approx.), indulge in a refined sense of living within this peaceful and private architecturally-designed family sanctuary, which comfortably accommodates 11 main rooms and has been intentionally designed to facilitate harmonious multi-generational living.
Inspired by Art Deco influences with internal columns supporting carefully crafted ceilings, the home's grand persona introduces itself from the outset in the form of a striking entrance, designed with soaring double ceiling heights matched in grandeur by granite tiled floors and swathes of glass that draw abundant light into the class-filled setting. Flowing off the extravagant entrance is the stunning formal lounge and dining, radiating classic opulence with its soft carpet floors, bulkhead ceilings and peaceful front garden aspect.
In fact, peaceful views are an asset of every room in this intelligently designed residence, courtesy of the extensive use of glass, which also maximises daylight use. Physical and visual interaction with the scenic surrounds is therefore a feature embraced by the radiant open-plan living, which invites garden views into the vast living space through its curved, frameless Bay window, while glass sliding doors promote seamless movement between the interior and spectacular poolside entertaining area, comprising a generous open-air dining area and enclosed saltwater-chlorinated swimming pool (with spa and outdoor shower).
A wood combustion fireplace coupled with a granite wet bar adds a touch of sophistication to the stately rumpus, which is also an accomplished indoor-outdoor entertainer. With the amount of get-togethers you'll be hosting, you need a kitchen capable of coping with the demands of entertaining - rest assured, the magnificent two-pack kitchen with granite benchtops, walk-in pantry, concealed dishwasher and quality appliances has you covered.
Those charged with the responsibility of looking after extended family members will appreciate the privacy and convenience of the self-contained living quarters downstairs, complete with a generous living area, kitchenette, separate bedroom with private ensuite, own entry and storage areas. Meanwhile, four additional bedrooms (all with ensuites) are zoned in the privacy of the upstairs layout.
Wake up to sweeping views towards the Kinglake Ranges from the opulent Master bedroom, designed with a central walkway flanked by a generous sleeping area and sun-kissed retreat, which extends onto a private balcony reserved for your exclusive enjoyment. Featuring refrigerated cooling, a large dressing room and stunning ensuite (with double shower, bidet, his and hers vanity and spa bath with a scenic view), it's hotel luxury for parents.
Those wishing to complete the resort character of the home can build a full-size tennis court on the flat, cleared section of the backyard. In the meantime, enjoy the long list of features this remarkable home presents, including independently controlled slab heating, security alarm, split-system heating and cooling, ducted vacuum, large home office, beautifully landscaped grounds and a remote four-car garage with storage and rear roller door.
Conveniently located within a short stroll - or bike ride - of the Yarran Dheran nature reserve and only moments to Eastland Shopping Centre, the vibrant hubs of Ringwood and Mitcham, train and bus transportation, well-regarded schools and the Eastern Freeway/Eastlink.
