30A Cuthbert Street, NIDDRIE, VIC

THE DEAL In a quiet cul-de-sac with rare turnover of homes and an overarching community atmosphere, this elegant, luxurious, and completely custom residence sets a new bar for designer living among prized Niddrie surrounds. As exceptional a lifestyle prospect as Niddrie has seen to date, a flair-filled façade reveals inspired interiors emphasising ease and comfort for today’s family. Centre-stage in an inviting lower level, a broad living/dining domain steps onto a covered barbecue alfresco and into an open-air backyard perfect for hosting friends and family. A gas-log fire is brilliant for cosy nights in cooler months, while a rounded waterfall island, walk-in pantry, extensive soft-close storage, and a Smeg suite of a gas stove, two ovens, an integrated dishwasher plus fridge/freezer are certain to impress those with a penchant for cooking. A delight to wake up in every morning, a magnificent upper master boasts a dressing table, bespoke headboard, walk-in and built-in robes, a chic ensuite with twin basins and a fully skylit shower, city glimpses, and a feature western window following the rake of a soaring ceiling. Robe-lined bedrooms three and four are joined upstairs by a lavish central bathroom with a soaker tub, while a ground-floor guest room with an ensuite and walk-in robe gives the option to live on one level. A second-storey retreat provides welcomed flexibility and a space for teenagers to claim as their own, while other highlights span engineered oak floors, a remote-controlled garage, extra driveway parking, and swathes of striking Taj Mahal Quartzite across the kitchen, bathrooms, wall units, a large laundry, and downstairs powder room. Only a handful of doors from PA Kirchner Reserve with the scenic Steele Creek Trail and Valley Lake beyond, it’s just footsteps to Keilor Road’s coffee, cuisine, shopping, and city-bound trams while near freeways for easy commuting, DFO and Westfield retail, LaManna Supermarket, prestigious private schools in PEGS and St Bernard’s, and the leafy verve of esteemed Essendon. SEALS THE DEAL The utmost care has gone into every last facet from sculpted curves to joinery and a feature skylight running the entire length of the staircase.
