An extravagant statement of stature and scale, this distinguished modern mansion exudes the intricate detail of Georgian architecture amid today’s crème-de-la-crème of on-trend finishes. Interconnected by private lift, the sprawling layout traverses over 90 squares internally, providing four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a home office, complemented by four enormous living domains and swimming pool recreation.

Welcomed by immaculate sculpted gardens and granite walkways, the majestic façade announces the grandeur of a glamorous and luxurious interior. Stunning pendant lights hang from 3.2m high ceilings, above an elegant ensemble of European Oak parquet and Tundra Grey marble floors. Showered in northern light by day and cosied against a gas fireplace by night, a formal sitting room introduces the home, hosting refined gatherings in supreme style.

The heart of the home nurtures everyday living and casual indoor-outdoor entertaining, providing a fireside family room and a dining room, brought together by an exquisite hostess kitchen. Contrasting black leather-finish granite and dark timber veneer cabinetry, with stark Asena marble and gloss white finishes, the kitchen adds panache and practicality to the rooms. An exciting array of high-end appliances and a concealed spirits bar make catering a breeze, providing an integrated fridge and freezer, complemented by endless storage including a butler’s pantry and scullery.

Each room opens through stacker doors to a sheltered alfresco dining room, equipped for year-round enjoyment with a barbecue kitchenette, café heaters, a ceiling fan, and a retractable patio blind. Under a spray of sunshine, the adjoining yard provides space for kids’ play behind a lush privacy screen, adjacent to a sparkling solar-heated swimming pool.

Upstairs, a family retreat promotes quiet nights together, while offering individual sanctuary through three lavishly sized bedrooms. Each providing ensuite amenity, the accommodation includes a palatial master bedroom with a dressing room, parents’ retreat, and a scenic terrace boasting horizon views, while downstairs, the guest suite pampers visitors in luxuriant style. A home office delivers privacy for business and clients, finishing the layout with a guest powder room, a huge laundry, a 600-bottle cellar, and an enormous 5-car garage including storerooms and workshops.

Situated in an affluent family locale at the doorstep to the Yarra River’s endless recreation and Westerfolds Park, the home is an easy wander to Templestowe Village’s tasty indulgences, daily needs, and city-bound buses, while minutes from Westfield’s endless shopping, leading schools, and the Eastern freeway.
