Experience family grandeur with this peerless beachside property showcasing panoramic bay and city views in the location of a lifetime. Spanning five magnificent levels with eight bedrooms, five bathrooms, a heated pool, and a five-car basement amongst a long-list of extraordinary highlights. Just steps to the water’s edge, Hampton Street and the city-bound train, this home is in a league of its own.
Meticulously transformed by perfectionist owners to deliver chateau-inspired elegance in a modern family context. Signature elements have been taken to new heights with fresh contemporary finishes that exude an air of chic sophistication. A stunning reception hall sets the tone with its Versaille parquet flooring, glittering chandeliers and sweeping skylit staircase. Grand formal rooms complement a plethora of family spaces to gather and entertain, regardless of the occasion.
The chef’s kitchen boasts stretches of stone, a suite of Miele appliances, and volumes of custom storage including a huge walk-in pantry. This pendant-lit space looks across a gorgeous dining area, built into a curved bay-window with newly upholstered banquette seating, to an al fresco terrace, and a north-facing pool and spa. Lying beyond the kitchen is one of many studies, this one doubles as a pool-side lounge, while an executive home office/library also occupies this level.
The basement is accessed from both internal and external stairs, creating a separate-entry domain that is fully self-contained. This subterranean space opens outdoors for superior air-flow, and boasts a home-theatre with a granite bar/kitchenette as well as a 592-bottle cellar/tasting room, a sauna, a bathroom and a robed bedroom. The remote 5-car garage also resides here, along with a gym area and the ultimate man-cave/workshop.
Further accommodation spans two upper levels including a palatial parents’ retreat that flaunts a water-view terrace, spa en suite, and his & hers walk-in robes. Kids reign supreme on the third floor with their own massive rumpus, over-sized bedrooms (walk-in robes), a gaming nook and even a pilates studio. Crowning the home is a spectacular roof-top terrace (outdoor kitchen and bar) showcasing 360 degree views of the city skyline, Port Phillip Bay, the Yacht Club, and beyond. From sunrise to sunset, this is one of Melbourne’s most exclusive vantage points.
Custom built and impeccably refurbished, luxurious touches abound, such as plush new carpets and custom lighting, against a backdrop of masterful paintwork, both inside and out. Hydronic heating, open fireplaces, air conditioning, ducted vacuum, C-Bus home automation, and high-tech security including CCTV, alarm, and keyless entry. Nestled amidst newly landscaped, designer gardens in a privileged position between the beach and Hampton Street with every lifestyle amenity at your disposal.
Superbly addressing the changing needs of today’s families with the space, privacy and versatility for children of every age, grandparents, extended family or an au pair to live harmoniously together. This property’s prestige proportions and prime position make it a truly outstanding offering.
