Claim independence with expansive space, exceptional architecture and an almost freestanding position! Maximising a wide 454sqm site with 40 Squares of custom-designed family living, this spectacular five bedroom plus home-office, 3.5 bathroom home is set apart by a vast dual suite, dual zone design with a minimum of shared wall-space and maximum light from windows on all sides. Designed to adapt to changing family lifestyles, the home features suites on each level; one a treetop master for parental privacy, the other a ground-floor suite for guests, adult children and alternative master use. Offering voluminous living-dining and a quiet lounge at the heart of the first-floor, this luminous home shines with ceilings rising to 3m, walls of slide-away glass, and a seamless flow from inside to outside with a fan-cooled al fresco zone beside the fully-tiled, heat-pumped pool. Ready to entertain with a vast rectangular dining-bench and a big butler’s pantry for the Bosch kitchen, a fitted bar area for the lobby and a BBQ kitchen, the home also offers the perfect escape. Styled with floor-to-ceiling bathroom tiling (even for the powder-room) and a principal dual-vanity bathroom with freestanding bath, there’s an escape from clutter too with endless storage including dual built-in and walk-in master robes plus home-office joinery. Specified with premium stone benchtops, wideboard Oak floors and highest-quality window furnishings (including automated sheers and blinds plus feature plantation-shutters), the home is climate-controlled over multiple zones, and secured by video-intercom, alarm and auto-gated four-car parking including double auto-garage. Set apart by boldly architectural street-presence, even the locations is outstanding, close to Oakleigh Grammar, and within an equally easy walk of Oakleigh’s hospitality and rail hub, Hughesdale’s latte strip and station, and Chadstone’s retail therapy.
