Description: Secluded towards the bowl of an exclusive cul de sac among neighbouring homes of distinction stands this lavish five-bedroom family entertainer, which redefines the meaning of grand family living in one of Templestowe's most prestigious acre precincts. Soaring across three levels with a vast collection of living and entertaining zones, three kitchens and three bathrooms, living by grand proportions is as obvious a statement as the remarkable sense of craftsmanship associated with this palatial residence, which boasts solid brick construction, towering cathedral ceilings, striking architectural detail and breathtaking resort grounds on a meticulously landscaped 4,044sqm (approx.) lifestyle block. The successful separation between the five-bedroom sleeping wing (master with retreat and extravagant ensuite) and main living zones is a clever design feature of the substantial-sized floorplan, which also flaunts huge basement storage rooms and a large home office with its own entrance for easy client access. Pour yourself a glass of aged single malt whisky from the wet bar and salute the end of another day in front of the fireplace in the elegant formal lounge/dining room and sitting area, while a central kitchen comfortably services a separate dining and family living. The home's resort character is successfully captured by the large rumpus, where you can cook for guests in its separate kitchen before taking your culinary creations to the rear outdoor entertaining area (with fire pit) or magnificent gazebo nestled among breathtaking gardens. Then hit the fully-tiled swimming pool with your cocktails in hand! That essence of grand entertaining extends to the first floor's entertaining room, where exposed brick walls and timber ceilings inject loads of rustic character. Complete with a third kitchen and large cellar, food and drinks will never run dry here! Stay fit and active by challenging the kids to games of tennis on the full-size tennis court, then ease those sore muscles with a steam in the rumpus room's sauna. There's also scope to convert what is already a grand home into something spectacular with some contemporary updates, now or in the future. Featuring secure garaging for multiple cars, loads of extra off-street parking, ducted climate control and more, join the elite only minutes away from Templestowe Village, Ruffey Lake Park, access to the CBD via the Eastern Freeway, excellent schools, Westfield Doncaster and bus transport.
