Carefully considered, coolly curated and cleverly customised, this might just be Bayside’s most well-designed family home. Designed to accommodate the biggest, blended or extended family, this 5 bedroom, 3+ bathroom and 3 separate WCs, home adapts to every stage and style of life - with four separate living zones plus a poolside al fresco area, space to study in every bedroom, and room to work at home in big quiet space or a secret little nook! Following a traditional plan with a private formal lounge, expansive family living-dining, and more room to lounge and dine in the skylit fan-cooled al fresco zone, this expansive home rises beyond a bespoke stairway, to a sound-proofed ‘quiet lounge’ (ideal as home-office or gaming-centre) and an expansive kids’ lounge (for entertaining or home-entertainment). Enhancing parental privacy with a ground-floor master-domain (with LED-lit dressing-room and dual-vanity ensuite), this adaptable design has first-floor kids’ quarters to suit every age and stage; with built-in and walk-in robes, a ‘Jack and Jill’ ensuite, a vast dual-vanity bathroom, and two separate WCs. Starring a state-of-the-art kitchen with every Miele appliance (including espresso maker, speed oven, conventional over, steam oven, two integrated fridges and dishwasher) plus a Gaggenau zone-free induction cooktop, the home combining luxury and functionality with a vast secondary catering kitchen, plus a full BBQ kitchen with dual drink-fridges. Sleekly architectural with terrazzo flooring extending inside to out, Caesarstone for every benchtop, and a mix of auto and manual blinds plus airy sheer curtains, the home is styled on a grand scale with tall doors rising towards high ceilings and vast double-glazed sliders. Even the smallest detail is included here - from the cleverest laundry drying-cabinet, to the warmest heated towel rail, to the sleekest Clipsal Saturn LED switches. Climate-controlled over two zones with additional in-floor heating and a gas-fireplace, the home is secured by video intercom and alarm, made easy to enjoy by in-ceiling speakers and ducted vacuum, and kept energy-efficient by a 24-panel 4.4kW solar system. Set in landscaped and lit irrigated grounds with a bamboo-hedged firepit with a carefree gasfire, and heated and tiled pool with auto-cleaning, even the double auto-garage is customised - with mudroom access and a separate storeroom. Situated for access to Haileybury and St Leonard’s Colleges (just a stroll through Castlefield Reserve), Hampton St and the Primary School (within a few blocks), and the beach and station (within a walk), this is exceptional custom design to last a family lifetime.
