13 Chaucer Crescent, Canterbury, Vic 3126

A dress-circle location and exclusive high-side position introduces the magnificent garden-set façade of 'Dalwood Hall', an expansive modern mansion featuring a north-facing rear pool oasis. Deluxe in standing and stature, the grandeur of this stately slate-roof residence starts with a majestic presence as an automatic-gate driveway rises beyond landscaped garden to a remote-control three-car garage and triple-arched entrance porch.

A towering chandelier void at the reception hall reveals a light and airy, luxury setting that extends first to formal sitting and dining rooms with marble gas fireplaces. The layout links seamlessly to beautiful alfresco areas with water features and continues with an executive office/library, powder room, bathroom, laundry and mudroom before a family zone with a granite-finished gourmet kitchen (stainless-steel appliances) and dining and living areas flowing to covered BBQ entertainment terrace and tiled pool/spa.

Further are four spacious bedrooms each with ensuite access including the main with a huge dressing room (make-up table) plus a versatile lounge/retreat. Elegantly adorned and superbly appointed for unrivalled family living featuring under-floor heating in bathrooms, central heating, air-conditioning, ducted vacuum, security alarm, CCTV, speaker system, abundant storage, 80-dozen subfloor cellar plus a workshop and internal entry to the garage.

'Dalwood Hall' is one of Canterbury's most desirable domains in a blue-ribbon family pocket by delightful Maling Road cafés and the Canterbury Gardens. Walk to a range of elite private schools including Camberwell Grammar and Strathcona Girls' Grammar, Fintona, Camberwell High School, Canterbury and Camberwell East train stations, parklands and the Anniversary Trail, while located just moments away is Camberwell Junction's restaurants, shops, supermarkets, trams and the Rivoli cinema.
