Occupying a prominent north-west corner in a prized tree-lined locale, this newly completed, five-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom European-inspired residence showcases the finest in contemporary luxury, with lavish finishes, expansive family proportions and sun-drenched northern garden surrounds.
A grand reception hall makes an impressive first impression, with rich herringbone oak floors, soaring LED-lit tray ceilings, natural stone finishes, and intricate wainscotting that reflect classical elegance. Elegant formal sitting and dining rooms with ornate coffered ceilings open to a private decked terrace bordered by established greenery, while a spectacular curved oak-and-steel staircase rises beneath a domed skylight, forming a magnificent centrepiece. Natural light floods the substantial rear living and dining domain, featuring a Real Flame electric fireplace, an exotic natural Patagonia quartzite backlit bar and an immense full-height picture window overlooking the lush garden. Sliding glass doors extend entertaining to the covered terrace, while the stone kitchen and adjoining butler’s kitchen are appointed for the keen host, each with premium Miele appliances.
Generous five-bedroom accommodation includes a ground-floor guest suite, while upstairs, four oversized en-suite bedrooms accompany a central lounge with kitchenette and a dedicated fitted study. Encompassing the entire northern border, the palatial main suite offers a peaceful space to unwind, with a designer dressing room featuring a central island and extensive storage, and a luxurious en-suite centred around an indulgent round bathtub.
Comprehensive appointments include double glazing, 3 metre ceilings, zoned reverse-cycle heating and cooling, luxury mud room, laundry chute, garden irrigation, CCTV and alarm, intercom, a striking back-lit quartz powder room, biometric digital secure front main door, motorised entry gates and a double garage with additional secure parking and internal entry. In a premier Glen Iris family setting opposite the Anniversary Trail, this first-class address sits within easy walking distance of Hartwell Primary, local parks, Golden Child and Neon Tiger cafés, with nearby trams and trains providing convenient access to Melbourne’s prestigious private schools.
