An exquisite combination of custom design, bespoke finishes, and multiple entertaining zones, this is the complete family package. Elevated on a highly-sought low-traffic Bayside address, this is an outstanding five bedroom, office area, three bathroom, powder room home. The triple-zone floorplan presents a gasfire-warmed formal zone, a treetop-view first-floor lounge and sun-soaked living-dining facing north through massive stacking sliders that open onto an all-weather al fresco zone!

Designed with harmonious family living in mind, children can enjoy their own space upstairs, complete with a workspace, lounge and kitchenette. The deluxe master-domain (with chic dual-vanity ensuite, bespoke built-in storage, and electric demist mirror with Bluetooth speakers) downstairs provides parents with their own domain. There is even more work space with a fitted workstation in the fifth bedroom. Styled with warm tones and luxe natural stone benchtops (extending even to the laundry). The home is designer detailed with rich oak floors plus pebbled wool carpets, and breezy plantation-shutters plus hand blown Mark Douglass designer lighting.

Showcasing top-tier Asko appliances, a statement Wolf cooktop and wood fired oven, the striking kitchen and al fresco zone caters to culinary enthusiasts. Family function takes precedence with a stone-finished kitchenette on the first floor, and fully tiled laundry and bathrooms with bespoke cabinetry. The kitchen boasts commissioned joinery including an entire pantry wall hidden behind artistic wood battened doors. The open plan living zone is complete with banquette seating set beneath a large niche illuminated by LED strip lighting.

This high-tech home offers multi-zone climate control, ethernet wiring (Cat-6) throughout, video-intercom, alarm system, 5-camera CCTV and Kaba keyless-entry for security and Bose, Tannoy and Monitor Audio hard-wired speakers for immersive audio inside and out.

In this grand design it’s all been thought of …from built in USB charging points (in bedrooms and kitchen), to designer ceiling-fans for the bedrooms, an electric rain-sensor Velux skylight for the master and fitted storage (including built-in and walk-in robes). Even the outdoors is high-tech with Smartphone-automation for garden lighting, and pool functions including filtration and dual-heating.

A testament to fine craftsmanship, enjoy the exterior panel heating, a granite-hearth woodfire oven in the alfresco zone, and a glass-fenced, fully tiled dual-heated pool/hot tub surrounded by travertine paving. The home is set in a lush automated irrigated landscape with a kitchen garden and broad lawns. The terraced backyard has been landscaped with privacy in mind and is creatively-lit.

There is plentiful parking plus a secure workshop on the long drive. Even the location has the complete package of parks, schools, shops and transport …just four blocks to Highett’s hospitality and station, 350m to the primary school in the Sandringham College Zone, and minutes to bay beaches and café society.
