235 Kooyong Road, Elsternwick

Set on a significant north-west oriented 2,464sqm (approx.) landholding in a sought-after location, this spectacular Palm Springs style residence combines multiple family living and resort-style entertaining spaces with exquisite designer style. Stepping into the estate via the private long driveway, you immediately get a sense of the once-in-a-lifetime lifestyle opportunity that awaits. The incredibly spacious U-shaped floorplan stretches around a sparkling central swimming pool and is cleverly orientated to capture northern light and the tropical garden surrounds through its countless floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors. Downstairs, the heart of this light-filled, tranquil home is unquestionably the gourmet kitchen, which pairs an oversized Calacatta island bench with a suite of Miele appliances including oven, five burner gas hob and dishwasher, and is complemented by an equally well-appointed butler's pantry with vibrant Corian benchtops. The kitchen flows into a casual living and dining area and out to the poolside patio area for the ultimate indoor/outdoor experience. A theatre room, elegant formal lounge with built-in marble bar, New York-style office and two bathrooms add to the flawless amenity of this floor. In the other wing, the serene master bedroom feels like a suite of a luxury hotel, with more views over the pool, an expansive walk-in and built-in robe and a lavishly sized ensuite with freestanding bath. Upstairs, there are three spacious sun-drenched bedrooms, all benefitting from their own ensuites, built-in robes and tree-top views. Outside, the poolside oasis comes complete with a gas and solar heated swimming pool and spa, undercover alfresco area and bar, and combined with lush gardens, a tennis and half basketball court, forms a private sanctuary with resort vibes that will delight both family and guests. Other features of this breathtakingly stunning home include secure garaging with additional off-street parking, oversized laundry with a chute from upstairs, high ceilings and pocket privacy doors, abundant storage, block out blinds, heating and cooling, alarm system, video intercom, a vertical garden and security gates. Situated in a blue-chip locale close to shops, cafes, elite schools, public transport, the city and the bay, this is a bespoke masterpiece guaranteed to delight.
