40 Beaulieu Road, Red Hill

Elegantly captivating from every angle, 'Meribel' is a masterstroke of modest sophistication, where the balance of raw and refined mediums creates a warm feel of subdued luxury and composure. A stately form of granite, slate, glass and steel feels at one with its established botanical surroundings, revealed beyond an undulating driveway through neighbouring orchards. Its open-concept format engages an ingenious aesthetic that showcases high-quality finishes in the most unnoticeable ways, with framed natural outlooks chaperoned by a spectacular Elm tree dappling sunlight over its multi-tiered dining and pool decks. Warm Oak floors and a granite fireplace are further enlightened by a true-north orientation, with an AGA 1800mm range cooker almost fading into its ebony stone kitchen, supported by an array of VZug elements and a woodfired pizza oven. Four bedrooms include an upstairs guest suite with a home office, ensuite and balcony, whilst the main bedroom occupies the easternmost point of the house, featuring a fitted dressing room and a marble ensuite with a pendant bath cantilevered over creek bed gardens. A reimagined freestanding mancave presents the ultimate leisure environment with two distinct living spaces, each flanked with kitchenettes. Two bedrooms and a bathroom house guests in comfort, with two wine coolers and terrace gardens ensuring easy entertaining backdropped by a eucalypt forest. Just over an hour from Melbourne and only moments from Red Hill Village, supporting features include solar power, smart home integration, zoned heating/cooling, camera security, a tennis court with an adjacent supporter's pavilion and garage/workshop, and multiple landscaped dams along Stony Creek.
