13 Murphy Street, Kew

Prestigious Studley Park’s tradition of architect-designed perfection takes a commanding turn with this stunning as-new family residence that backdropped by spectacular city skyline views, is a masterpiece of modern luxury. Positioned in one of the precinct’s quietest and most tightly-held streets, a cleverly-conceived fusion of privacy, elevation and outlook enhance a sensational, state-of-the-art family setting only moments from leading schools, parkland and boutique High Street shopping. Arrival is breathtaking, and defined by a two-level void and relaxing reception area, rises to a main bedroom level entirely dedicated to the principal suite. Expansive double-glazing draws the city skyline directly into the room and extends to a sublime private terrace, while there’s also a custom-fitted and back-lit dressing room along with a luxuriously-appointed ensuite complete with a double-shower, twin vanity, heated towel rail and freestanding Victoria+Albert bath with a city vista. An inviting hallway with wide oak floorboards and softly textured stucco walls creates a gallery-like passage passing a chic powder room and a full-size laundry, as it reveals three deluxe ground-floor bedrooms. Each is carefully positioned for privacy and quiet with all complemented by their own ensuite bathrooms, as well as fitted built-in robes and study nooks with fixed desks. A substantial family domain at the rear highlights beautiful living and dining zones beyond a centrepiece kitchen where a breakfast island and a butler’s pantry are accompanied by top-of-the-line V-ZUG combi air/steam ovens, ASKO dual-fuel cooktop, downdraft extractor fan,integrated fridge and freezer as well as a Zip HydroTap. Entertaining family and friends is effortless with corner stacker and sliding doors linking to an alfresco kitchen (Siemens cooktop, drinks fridge) and a superb terrace capturing sweeping city views. An extra-large basement level unfolds as a highly-flexible extension of the interior that is centred around a huge multi-purpose room with a full bathroom. Dedicated storage supports practical daily use while internal access leads directly to a four-car garage with dual remote-control doors, and a productive rear garden area with a vegetable patch and an open recreational space. A comprehensive suite of inclusions from zoned commercial-grade heating/cooling to video intercom, alarm, CCTV and automatic gates, further enhance this extraordinary Studley Park lifestyle opportunity that brilliantly delivers architectural precision for family excellence, is enviably located near private schools including Burke Hall/Xavier and MLC, Kew Junction cafes and restaurants, public transport, freeway, Yarra River trails and tranquil parkland.
