A rare and resplendent jewel at the heart of the prestigious Grace Park Estate, this magnificent contemporary domain from renowned architect Steve Domoney and Heartly interior design positively shines behind a striking façade with state-of-the-art sophistication throughout a substantial family-zoned interior and a feature swimming pool oasis.

Natural light cascades through towering double-glazed windows wrapped in steel-supported automated louvre screens revealing a brilliantly conceived series of expansive spaces for a family to relax, engage and entertain. Hydronic floor heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and full security maintain perfect control in a vast split-level setting where a stucco Veneziano, two-level void entry launches a ground-floor bedroom suite, fitted study and a stylish bathroom. Always in view, even from a versatile basement games/rumpus room or office with kitchenette/bar, wine cellar, bathroom and underwater windows, a self-cleaning heated swimming pool and spa by an entertainment deck and louvered-covered BBQ kitchen with Jetmaster open fireplace is accessed by a clever sliding door system and provides a sensational focal point central to the design. Accentuated by honed bluestone and wide solid oak boards, a family living room flows flawlessly to a dining area adjoining a remarkable fully-integrated gourmet kitchen. Dressed in sleek solid stone, the kitchen makes a statement in culinary refinement boasting top-line Miele appliances as well as Liebherr fridge and freezer, an island breakfast bench and a sky-lit butler’s pantry and laundry with fold-down ironing station and drying cupboard. Further is a spacious lounge room warmed by a custom-designed open fireplace that leads to a luxurious main bedroom showcasing a bespoke walk-in robe, dazzling ensuite with a freestanding stone bath, and balconies capturing park and city views. Next is an impressive additional wing where a lounge/retreat complements two great-sized bedrooms with built-in robes and fitted desk areas, along with an immaculate family bathroom and a powder room. Additional attributes include electric blinds and drapes, security alarm, video intercom, high-speed 1Gb fibre internet, pool-side powder room, low-maintenance landscaped garden areas, automated watering system/raintanks, automatic gate entrance and an internal remote-control double garage.
