More than great designer living, this is great design for family life! Just 150m from Royal Melbourne Golf Course in a coveted cul-de-sac, this architectural four bedroom plus study, 3.5 bathroom home sets the standard in family design and designer living. Cleverly configured with a ground-floor master-domain (with dual vanity ensuite and fitted dressing-room), this outstanding home has a curtained media lounge and expansive living-dining wrapping a fan-cooled al fresco area plus a first-floor children's lounge set adjacent a fitted-study. Exceeding all expectations with a skylit Smeg and Asko kitchen (with steam and pyrolitic ovens and massive Calacatta-look island bench) and luxe floor-to-ceiling tiled bathrooms, this state-of-the-art home offers carefully curated fittings including wideboard Oak floors, thick stone benchtops, pretty plantation shutters, a Jetmaster gas-fire on a floating stone hearth and designer lighting. But it's the smart family design that sets this home apart. In this clever design a second suite is set upstairs for guests or grown-kids and a family 'work-hub' encompasses a deep butler's pantry, mud-room (with Tasmanian Oak seat & 'Dot" hooks), over-sized laundry (with drying rail) and store. Outside, the north-facing al fresco area has bluestone paving and built-in seating, while a wide rear deck leads kids to broad lawns. There are even high-tech extras including a home hub with 8 ethernet points, 3 phase power and 6 Star energy efficiencies including zoned climate-control, double-glazing (even for the high-performance Velux skylights) and solar hot-water! Set in auto-irrigated gardens with a double-garage plus parking on a salt-washed concrete drive, even the location combines high design and high amenity. Surrounded by prestige homes in the Beaumaris College Zone, there's a family lifestyle location - close to the Mentone school bus and Seaview shopping and a walk to the Primary School and Concourse.
