Designed for families who live large and entertain often, this Preston Downs residence pairs its five-bedroom floor plan with triple-car garaging and a series of social spaces that rise to every occasion.
Architect John Curtin's influence is immediately apparent in the home's commanding street presence, but it's the quality of the execution that leaves the lasting impact. Sweeps of glazing keep the interior exceptionally light-filled, while a layered mix of materials, finishes and textures gives each room its own identity without compromising cohesion.
Five double bedrooms provide exceptional family capacity, with the master suite stepping ahead through a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite, while a tiled family bathroom and moody powder room carry the same contemporary flair.
Open-plan by design and generous in scale, the kitchen, dining area and lounge establish themselves as the home's social centrepiece, with a log burner enhancing the ambience and a butler's pantry strengthening the kitchen's ability to perform behind the scenes.
A second living room provides a valuable point of separation, while a purpose-built office secures a dedicated workspace away from the flow of daily family life.
Accessed through a wall of sliding doors, the alfresco room broadens the living landscape, offering a sheltered setting that sits comfortably between outdoor entertaining and an additional living space. Revolving around a striking schist fireplace, it brings warmth, atmosphere and remarkable flexibility to the layout.
Beyond the covered courtyard, a central water feature, expansive decking and landscaped surrounds create a series of outdoor destinations where entertaining, recreation and relaxation each play their part across the 1,524sqm section.
Few homes cater as comfortably to the everyday overflow of modern family life, where a separate laundry, triple-car garaging and extensive off-street parking for up to eight vehicles reinforce the home's considerable capacity behind the scenes.
Overlooking a neighbourhood tennis court, playground and expansive reserves, the home enjoys a highly connected position with West Melton School, cafe's, a supermarket, pharmacy, medical centre and everyday village amenities all within easy walking distance and little more than 20 minutes from the city.
