Time stands still amidst the tranquil bushland surroundings and vast landscaped grounds of this breathtaking split-level residence where the sheer magnitude of a luxurious transformation is a triumph of contemporary design. Original 1970s architecture in the Mid Century Modern style has sympathetically and meticulously evolved into an expansive family sanctuary with a swimming pool and tennis court on a massive 4083 sq. metre allotment (approx.) at the head of a cul-de-sac. Framed by a distinctive architect-designed footprint, every conceivable element with no expense spared has been carefully curated to create an all-new, state-of-the-art aesthetic throughout a functional and flexible interior brimming with high-end flair. Introduced by undulating lawns, Palm Springs desert-inspired garden oases and handcrafted stonework walls, the allure of nature is reflected inside by full-height glazing, terrazzo floor tiles, blackbutt ceilings, brushed brass accents and solid Calacatta marble. Opening to a series of private north-facing courtyards, the split-level layout seamlessly unfolds from an entrance hall to a beautiful main bedroom with a custom-built walk-in robe and stunning marble-lined ensuite. Further are three great-sized bedrooms (built-in robes, desks) complemented by a sensational bathroom with a freestanding handmade concrete bath and frameless shower. Additionally, a flexible large home office, gym or extra bedroom includes an ensuite, storeroom and a wine cellar. Towering windows to a 3.6 metre ceiling bring the outside into a spacious family living room that splits to a versatile separate Gallery/Sitting room before a magnificent new Calacatta verde marble kitchen boasting Miele Ovens and fully integrated European stainless-steel appliances. A secret door conceals a spacious and versatile Walk in Pantry/Laundry. Fluted timber panels extend to a brilliant bar with dual Vintec wine coolers serving a glamorous dining room with a fabulous fitted Terrazzo bench including a leather cushioned seat and an alpaca velvet back rest. Huge double doors from multiple areas open to alfresco terraces where an extra-large 2.7 metre deep pool with a diving board, Bisazza glass mosaics and gas heating is all set for family enjoyment. The property and its panoramic views that can never be built out extends to an observation deck, flood-lit Modgrass tennis court and borders the peaceful natural setting of the Ruffey Creek trail. There's also a separate home office with courtyard and storeroom by the double carport. Features are many and include zoned individual room ducted heating/cooling, slab-floor heating, Dynalite smart lighting system, pure wool carpets, linen sheers and automatic lawn irrigation. This compelling, comprehensively-renovated family residence within an extensive and secluded garden oasis is located only moments to Templestowe Village cafes and shops, sought-after schools, buses, freeway and shopping centres including Westfield Doncaster, The Pines and Macedon Square.
