Live in the grand manor in one of Bayside's great cul-de-sac locations. Built in impeccable French Provincial style by leading Brighton builder, Rob Sayers, this expansive four bedroom plus home-office, four bathroom home offers family living on a gracious scale with five individual living zones over three levels in around 862sqm/9,278sqft formal grounds. Graced with traditional formal and family living-dining zones plus a billiards-sized games-room with fitted bar, the home steps up to a first-floor kids' lounge, down to a fully-appointed basement theatre with cinema-quality sound and tiered seating...and out to a vine-draped poolside colonnade in the north-facing backyard. Extravagantly accommodating with a 5 Star master-domain (comprising a balconied bedroom with retreat, dressing-room and dual-vanity spa-ensuite), the home features walk-in robes for every bedroom, two private ensuites and a library-sized home-office. Built and detailed to an exquisite standard with a butler's pantry for the custom-crafted Miele appliance kitchen and a basement cellar racked for more than 20 dozen bottles, this elite home brings together internationally sourced materials including Indian granite for kitchen benchtops and splashbacks, Italian marble and stone for all bathrooms and solid Australian Jarrah flooring and stair. Artisan-crafted sandstone fireplaces feature in the formal zone and the master domain, unique French Oak doors provide a grand entry and classic architectural detail includes coved ceilings and decorative cornices. Individually climate-controlled with commercial-quality units to two levels, the home is automated by C-Bus, secured by video-intercom and alarm, and made easy to enjoy by a dumb-waiter from basement to pantry, mud and drying rooms and a ducted vacuum with kick-sweep function. Environmentally aware with 5KW solar-panels, fully-reticulated 7500L underground water-storage and LED lighting, the home is also extensively double-glazed and noise and climate-controlled by in-wall and floor insulation. Set above auto-gated four car basement garaging, this luxurious residence offers, above all else, a warm and welcoming family lifestyle with high-energy gardens designed around a golf net, basketball hoop and dual-heated 18m lap-pool and spa. Beautifully located on the sunny northern side of this leafy beachside cul-de-sac, the home even blends luxury and lifestyle in its location - with the bay, village and station within a walk, BGS/Firbank's Sandringham House around the corner and the CBD within a beachfront drive or cycle.
