Expressions of Interest Closing 7th April at 5:00pm (Unless Sold Prior)
Perched high above the street, this European-inspired masterpiece is defined by scale, symmetry and classical refinement. Set on an expansive 857 sqm allotment (approx.), articulated fluted pilasters, balustraded terraces and meticulously sculpted stonework combine to create a composed, ceremonial sense of arrival. Beautifully softened by a mature palm, water feature and structured landscaping, the residence presents a distinguished and elegant frontage, while sweeping northerly vistas extend across the surrounding river landscape to the distant city skyline.
Beyond the entrance, the home unfolds across approximately 84 squares (approx.) of internal living over three expansive levels, renovated to honour its classical design while seamlessly balancing contemporary comfort. A striking entryway sets the tone, centred around a sweeping curved staircase crowned by a light-filled cupola, with floor-to-ceiling glazing drawing in natural light. Ornate ceilings and parquetry flooring elevate the interior, while bespoke wallpaper panels and curved architectural walls introduce texture and depth throughout.
Two formal zones provide elegant flexibility, ideally suited to a refined study, library or additional sitting rooms, each framed by expansive glazing that draws in tranquil garden outlooks and a soft, ambient wash of natural light. The marble-appointed kitchen is exquisitely resolved with premium Miele appliances, supported by a fully equipped butler’s pantry with sink, cooktop, extensive storage and direct access to the side garden, creating a seamless extension for entertaining.
A spectacular living domain occupies a prized corner position, conceived for hosting on a grand scale and unfolding to a European-style terrace and balcony that elevates the experience beyond the interior. Ornate cornice ceilings lend architectural elegance, while a finely carved marble fireplace with sculptural timber mantel anchors the room alongside an integrated bar and bespoke cabinetry. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and a generous skylight draw the eye outward, where leafy treetops, a statement palm and the pool beyond form a romantic backdrop that enhances both intimate evenings and lavish gatherings.
Upstairs, the master suite unfolds as a luxurious retreat, featuring a bespoke walk-in robe designed to deliver a boutique dressing-room experience, alongside impressive full-height windows capturing treetop vistas and glimpses of the city skyline. A beautifully appointed marble and travertine ensuite with dual vanity and a private balcony completes this serene sanctuary. Three additional bedrooms each open to their own private balcony, while all
bathrooms throughout the home are finished in fine marble and travertine and enhanced by underfloor heating. An additional bedroom, equally suited as a study or guest retreat, includes built-in robes and a private ensuite, positioned alongside an integrated bar alcove to further support effortless hosting.
The lower level introduces a comprehensive suite of lifestyle amenities including a substantial games or media room, cellar, gym, sauna, bathroom, secure storage and remote double garage.
Additional highlights include a custom lift servicing all levels, ducted heating and cooling, intercom and a downstairs powder room. A distinguished family residence offering architectural presence, timeless elegance and elevated living in a tightly held Kew address, moments from the Studley Park precinct, Kew Junction’s shops and cafés, Melbourne’s leading schools and the CBD.
