Description: INSPECT BY APPOINTMENT ONLY A contemporary masterpiece of massive proportions in prestigious Golden Mile environs, this expansive family domain, set amid John Patrick-designed gardens, is a grand entertainer of sheer luxury, refinement and flexibility. It is positioned on an impressive 2230 sqm approx. allotment with dual street frontage along a wide and mature tree-lined boulevard. Refined solid sandstone and Venetian concrete frame a striking architectural profile, revealing an extensive family interior with a self-contained apartment, multiple alfresco areas, self-cleaning pool and a full-size tennis court. A sandstone-lined entry hall finished in honed stone flooring introduces an underfloor hydronic heated, ground-floor layout where a north-facing office with its own entry and garden outlooks supports professional use, while a ground-level north-facing bedroom with fitted robes and a modern ensuite provides flexibility for guests or extended family. A formal lounge room defined by marble-topped joinery and a Cheminees Philippe fireplace opens through full-height sliding doors to a private west-facing terrace. Daily living unfolds across a broad open-plan family, dining and kitchen zone wrapped in walls of glazing with automated blinds that draw in outlooks to a central courtyard pond and the pool beyond. The stone and timber kitchen is comprehensively appointed with Miele appliances, integrated storage and a seamless connection back to the laundry (chute) and a powder room, while a separate rear rumpus with oak flooring and storage opens to the garden and in-ground trampoline. First-floor accommodation is superbly arranged with five large bedrooms (two north-facing) and a huge family bathroom with twin vanity, bath and frameless shower. The palatial main bedroom occupies a prized north-facing position and boasts a sky-lit dressing room, Poliform cabinetry, lavish dual-vanity marble ensuite (spa bath and separate shower), and a private balcony with treetop and distant range views. Each other bedroom is fitted with built-in robes and desks, with one including its own ensuite. Further is a separate self-contained apartment (bedroom, ensuite, kitchen, living room) and a storeroom, while outdoor entertaining is delivered on a remarkable scale with a tiled self-cleaning swimming pool, a fully-fitted pavilion with a polished concrete floor, heating, speakers, barbecue facilities and kitchenette, and a floodlit mod-grass tennis court with a basketball hoop (underground water storage) and remote access to Knutsford Street, creating rewarding sub-division possibilities (STCA). Comprehensive commercial-grade appointments underpin everyday comfort, including zoned heating and cooling (linear venting), ducted vacuum, alarm (back to base monitored), CCTV surveillance, automated blinds and extensive storage throughout. Internally-accessed basement garaging accommodates multiple vehicles and incorporates a wine cellar and plant room plus additional storage, complemented by secure gated entry with a wide turning circle for ease. Commandingly elevated, this vast family residence represents a remarkable lifestyle opportunity and an exceptional blue-chip landholding of immense scale, privacy and convenience close to elite private schools including Camberwell Grammar and Fintona, Whitehorse Road shopping and restaurant precinct, Balwyn cinema, beautiful parklands and trams.
