Few things are guaranteed in life, however tranquility, serenity and five-star luxury are very much assured with this exceptional single-level “Englehart” built residence, which offers resort-style living on a graceful acre (approx.) hideaway amongst the scenic hills of Warrandyte.
Barely 30 minutes into Melbourne's CBD off-peak yet a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life, this proud and stately residence therefore offers the calmness of country living with the creature comforts of a city lifestyle. It truly is the best of both worlds!
Wonderfully secluded at the top of a private cul de sac in one of Warrandyte's most exclusive pockets is where you'll find this peaceful family sanctuary, which captivates with its excellent architecture, breathtaking scenery, intelligent zoned layout and active outdoor lifestyle.
Catering for both formal and communal living, practical everyday living is a hallmark of the carefully considered floorplan, which zones the children's quarters and luxurious Master bedroom away from the four separate living areas to ensure peace and quiet for every member of the household.
Height and space are accentuated by a Cathedral ceiling that towers above the formal lounge, which stands across from the formal dining and allows you to indulge in the scenic outlook whilst warming up in front of the open fireplace.
Views aren't of the exclusive domain of the formal lounge, however. As sunset approaches, admire the view of the city skyline from the excellent paved outdoor entertaining zone, which is home to a large undercover area ideal for poolside gatherings as well as a separate open-air paved area with a gas mains BBQ and seamless access into the fully-tiled solar-heated swimming pool (with a gas-heated spa). And with a powder room with a separate toilet and shower connecting with the outdoor entertaining precinct, there's no need for pool guests to leave unwanted wet footprints through the home!
Slabs of granite that adorn the lengthy benches and splashback of the stately kitchen instantly appeal, as do the quality appliances, timber cabinetry, walk-in pantry and curved feature window that draws views of the valley inside the radiant open-plan living. A glass wall successfully divides the family living (with a large wet bar and ceiling-mounted speakers) from the open-plan area, while internal French doors open to reveal a sunken rumpus that has games retreat for the kids written all over it.
The children's bedrooms have been zoned on a private section of the home, along with a large family bathroom, allowing the Master bedroom to reside in a private section of its own at the front of the home, complete with a leafy garden aspect, walk-through mirror robes and two-way ensuite (his and hers vanity, corner spa, shower with fernery and separate toilet).
Those keen to maintain a fit and active lifestyle can do so by enjoying regular games of tennis on the full-size, floodlit tennis court. Large pockets of lawn embraced by beautifully landscaped gardens also allow the kids to run and play freely.
Furthermore, this remarkable home also features a large study/fifth bedroom option with built-in robes, ducted vacuum, ducted heating and refrigerated cooling and a triple garage.
Conveniently located within moments of scenic walking paths, schools, bus transportation and The Pines Shopping Centre.
