Description: Architecturally transformed and uncompromising in detail, this solid brick, freestanding Edwardian residence delivers state-of-the-art family living across two luxurious levels, with a private poolside oasis and secure off-street parking. Positioned on a tree-lined cul-de-sac, steps from the beach, Albert Park Lake, and the city-bound light rail, its breathtaking proportions and awe-inspiring design command attention from the outset. Traditional leadlight and tessellated tiles introduce a grand entry hall beneath soaring 5m ceilings and wide French oak floors, with Italian marble transitions defining each movement through the home. A formal sitting room and adjoining executive study, both warmed by open fireplaces and enriched with leadlight detail, progress through a striking corbel arch into open-plan living, dining and entertaining. Here, a custom-made Palladiana terrazzo feature and organic architectural curves move toward the pool and landscaped alfresco beyond, creating a natural connection between indoor living and outdoor enjoyment. Bookmatched Terra Rosa marble defines the kitchen, equipped with a LaCanche 1100mm triple-oven stove, American oak veneer cabinetry and a Bosch integrated dishwasher, complemented by a stainless steel butler's pantry that extends through to the laundry and provides direct access to the front garden. Venetian plaster walls capture the changing light throughout the day, while a Tundra marble hearth and gas fire enrich the living room, opening to the limestone-paved entertaining area with a heated magnesium pool and spa. The main suite is exceptional, with a floor-to-ceiling oak dressing room, dusty pink carpet, a marble display island, and a curved-door ensuite finished in three tones of Rosso Levanto, Viola Calacatta, and Breccia marble, with bronze Brodware tapware and a freestanding bath. Upstairs, a skylit hallway connects three additional robed bedrooms and a bathroom in Tundra and Calacatta Viola surfaces. Comprehensively appointed with automatic gates, keypad entry, alarm system, slab and hydronic heating, reverse cycle air conditioning, solar power, double glazing, Charlesworth pendants, Pittella hardware, and a prized location, its design and lifestyle appeal are immeasurable.
