SOLD BY WOODARDS MANNINGHAM
Architecturally designed and custom built to meticulous standards, this stately abode creates a majestic presence in bushland surrounds of The Domain estate, embodying the level of low maintenance executive living that many aspire to, but few achieve.
A grand portico and bespoke entry doors welcome you to an impressive entry foyer showcasing French Oak parquetry flooring, sweeping ceilings, and feature pendant lighting, all of which continue across the home’s well-considered floorplan. On the ground floor is a formal lounge/library/study for quiet endeavours, quite the contrast to the expansive rumpus/media/games room which can be found in close proximity, offering a burnt leather granite topped bar with a drink fridge and compact dish washer, as well as access to a dedicated study, and an environmentally controlled cellar/humidor. Undoubtedly though, the heart of the home is the substantial open-plan zone framed by expanses of glass that allow an abundance of light to flow freely. It comprises a large family room with a built-in wet bar, a generous dining area, and a showstopping kitchen that offers a seamless melding of enterprise and elegance, courtesy of stunning marble benchtops and splashbacks, stainless-steel European (Bertazzoni) appliances, shaker style cabinetry and a generous Butler’s pantry. Two sets of triple stacker doors allow easy access to the home’s enticing outdoor spaces, which include an extensive undercover patio with a wood-fired pizza oven BBQ and spit, ideal for alfresco entertaining, and a magnesium chlorinated, inground pool and spa, with solar and gas heating for year-round use. Framed by an elevated deck, waterfall urns, and established greenery that adds both visual appeal and privacy, it’s a place all members of the household will savour. The accommodation is completed by four oversized bedrooms and five fully tiled bathrooms across two levels, plus an upstairs living area that can be easily converted to a fifth oversized bedroom should it be required. Each of the bedrooms has a dedicated ensuite and a walk-in robe, with the master boasting a fully fitted dressing room, and the luxury of a freestanding soaker tub, a twin shower, and his and hers basins. The final bathroom is conveniently located to service the pool area.
A home of this stature would not be complete without a long list of additions. These include electric ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, quality window furnishings, a storage-rich laundry, the use of marble in all wet areas, a downstairs powder room, uPVC double-glazed windows and doors, LED downlights, ducted vacuuming with kick plates, security alarms and cameras, an HDMI distribution system, manicured gardens serviced by sprinkler systems, and two double garages including one with additional space for parking a boat, trailer or motorbike, and the other with a sizeable under-stair storage area and ample headroom for a car stacker or hoist for the enthusiast.
In perfect complement is the prestigious location that sees you near an array of amenities that aid the ease of day-to-day living. Close to local buses, a variety of shopping precincts such as The Pines, Templestowe Village, Westfield Doncaster and Eastland, popular primary and secondary schools, and open green spaces including Tikalara Park, Westerfolds Park, Ruffy Lake and the Mullum Mullum Trail which runs through the estate.
The benefits of living in The Domain estate perfectly complement the comprehensive offerings of the home itself. You’ll appreciate the strong community feel that is strengthened by resident BBQs, and relationships built with neighbours when enjoying communal areas such as the BBQ pavilion that overlooks the picturesque Parkway Place Lake – Your own billabong. The private and peaceful location also provides sanctuary for a range of wildlife, including kangaroos, koalas, wombats, and extensive birdlife.
This premiere property should be seen to be fully appreciated, so book your inspection without delay.
