A majestic family home on 3,063m2 (approx.) with pool and tennis recreation
Set amid sprawling gardens originally designed by Edna Walling, this immense six-bedroom home is a captivating blend of Mediterranean-style architecture and luxurious modern style. Indulging an affluent family lifestyle on a private 3,063m2 (approx.) estate, the home is enviably positioned on a prestigious tree-lined boulevard, close to esteemed public and private schools, Box Hill Central, and Westfield Doncaster, while only footsteps from Beckett Park playground and gardens, Balwyn East shopping village, and city-bound transport.
Imbued with style, the home offers multiple living domains to indulge flexible family living and lively entertaining. Three formal living zones deliver essential versatility, including a formal sitting room, and adjoining lounge and dining rooms for refined fireside entertaining. A casual home theatre or rumpus nurtures kids’ retreat and play, while the home’s heart is a vast family room highlighted by a cosy stacked-stone fireplace and a soaring 13-foot ceiling. The spacious skylit kitchen sits centre stage, catering with a wide ILVE cooker, a Miele dishwasher, and a huge butler’s pantry, while dressed in stylish Victorian Ash cabinetry and a lustrous, marble-topped hostess island.
Outside, an enormous dining patio connects the casual living spaces for vibrant indoor-outdoor enjoyment, mingling family and friends for alfresco dining beside an azure swimming pool and spa. The extensive gardens offer space for kids to run and play, while a grassy, floodlit tennis court encourages a sporty family lifestyle.
Upstairs, the luxurious accommodation includes a plush master bedroom suite with a scenic northerly terrace, a walk-in robe, and a fully tiled ensuite with a deep bathtub. Four secondary robed bedrooms accommodate rest and homework with study nooks, serviced by a central bathroom and a separate powder room. On the ground floor, a sixth robed bedroom grants privacy for guests while providing flexibility for home-based business with autonomous entry for clients, complemented by an adjacent bathroom.
Finished by a guest powder room, a laundry, a cellar, a pool house, and an internal-access double garage with a workshop, the home pampers the family with a host of modern comforts, including hydronic heating, split-system air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and motorised gates.
