Presiding over more than an acre of tranquil park-like surrounds in Mount Eliza's gilded Golden Mile, this grand seaside home offers an intensely private family sanctuary moments from prestigious Toorak College and beautiful Daveys Bay.
Oriented to maximise natural light and graceful garden views, the 4 bedroom plus study residence marries the passive solar benefits of an architect design ahead of its time with a sleek contemporary renovation and sparkling inground pool to deliver a lifestyle of rare privilege in this sacred seaside spot.
Set at the end of a clipped hedge driveway, cascading water features serenade your arrival, while inside lovely spotted gum floors, angled ceilings and hidden highlight windows contribute to a superb first impression of light and space.
Kept cosy by a big wood heater and enjoying unfettered views of the pool and garden, the main lounge is the perfect spot to soak up the winter sun or while away an afternoon by the fire with friends over a bottle of peninsula red.
Updated from top to toe, the deluxe stone-topped kitchen comes equipped with quality stainless steel appliances and a long island bench, while tall glass doors make for effortless poolside entertaining during the lazy days of summer.
Adjacent to the kitchen, a vast dining hall overlooking the wisteria courtyard will easily accommodate the largest table, while the sleek built-in drinks bar adds a convivial touch.
The west wing of the home provides an executive study, a lovely guest bedroom with nearby shower room and the master bedroom with fitted dressing room, full ensuite and doors to the poolside.
At the opposite end of the home is the children's wing including 2 large rooms connected by a 2-way ensuite bathroom and doors to the pool, while the rumpus room/teenagers retreat also opens to the pool and a covered terrace with an outdoor fireplace.
Additional features are many and include gas heating, reverse-cycle airconditioning, security alarm, underground rainwater storage to service the greenhouse and herb garden plus a pretty garden gazebo and large 2.5 car lock up garage.
