A landmark home of world-class standard, this four bedroom, three bathroom, dual zone home is, above all else, a benchmark of entertaining family living… unfolding beyond a striking glass and aluminium entry door to accommodate every stage family life in uniquely detailed style. Appointed for home-entertainment with a quiet media lounge (meeting Gold Class standards with a Panasonic 3D HD projector, surround-sound speakers and 110-inch screen), the home takes an entertaining turn with spectacular north-facing living soaring to a lofty void… and flowing seamlessly through a wall of custom-engineered ‘disappearing’ glass to a bamboo-edged spa-courtyard. Immensely private with a sunlit master-domain reminiscent of a luxury hotel-suite (with walk-in-robe, 5 Star dual-vanity ensuite and treetop views), the home provides a quiet central spot for living/play or homework on the mirrored landing, and the option to work-at-home in a ground-floor 4th bedroom. Created to entertain with an incredible kitchen of exceptional craftsmanship designed by Italy's most acclaimed designer Paolo Pininfarina for the iconic Italian company, Snaidero. The home’s entertaining spaces feature a sculptured support to the seamless moulded Corian kitchen bench, premium Miele appliances alongside a minimalist ‘secret’ Sirius Downdraft rangehood, integrated Liebherr fridge-freezer, a chill/sparkle/filter water tap and a fully-appointed butler’s kitchen. Enhancing the entertaining life, a 192 bottle glass-walled cellar is a sculptural centre-piece to the home’s entry… while keeping indulgence firmly in sight. Specified to world-class standards with 7 differnt natural stones (from Carrera slab floors, to a travertine bathroom, to a New York marble hearth) and wideboard Oak floors, the home features fully-tiled bathrooms (featuring Italian Gessi Goccia taps, wall hung/rimless ILBAGNOALESSI WCs and freestanding Corian bathtubs, embellished sheers for the tallest windows and honeycomb blinds for the most private rooms. Bespoke detailed with brands and products sourced from around the world, the home features custom wallpaper and a staircase mural from the installation team at Paper Scissor Glue, a breathtaking Marc Pascal pendant light floating above the living zone, and a Marcel Wanders SkyGarden half-spheres recessed above the kitchen bench. Even the fine detail is well-considered from LED Clipsal Saturn electrical switches and power points, to fully retractable doors and rear flyscreens disappearing alongside the vast rear cavity-sliders. Setting a new standard in construction, design and interior detail, this exciting architectural design is constructed to the most rigorous standards with soaring ceilings, minimalist full-height doors and a floating stair beneath a towering skylight and alongside a space-expanding stretch of mirror. The home is perfectly practical too - with an acoustic fire-proof concrete wall providing unparalleled privacy, and hydronic slab and panel heating plus zoned climate control alongside a gas-pebble fireplace. With ducted vacuum, Bosch alarm and Panasonic video intercom every base is covered. Even the over-sized double auto-garage is operated by a Merlin Smart myQ wifi system. The custom edge continues in the professionally landscaped grounds designed by Mark Browning, with a hand-painted Bauhaus mural adding unique artistry, high-grade British Millboard decking providing a curvaceous base for the circular Jacuzzi spa, and automated lighting, water feature and irrigation for gardens - front and rear. With a streamlined auto-garage integrated into the slatted timber facade and sculptural auto-gates adding to the high-impact fenceline, this minimalist design offers a lifestyle-maximising location within three blocks of booming Martin St Village and Gardenvale station, a walk to Star of the Sea and Wesley Colleges, walking distance to Glenhuntly Road, Elsternwick shopping and Elsternwick station as well as to the Golden Mile beachfront, and in-Zone for in-demand Gardenvale Primary School.
