Extraordinary architecture, an exemplary location and extreme functionality personify this unique family home. From the grand hall with its exceptional curved roof and enormous windows overlooking the sparkling pool, to a separate wing incorporating more living and family bedrooms, the versatile layout is ideal for any family. Add to that a brilliant kitchen that adjoins a fabulous meals area with cosy fire place and big bi-fold doors that open to an equally fabulous private outdoor courtyard that is designed to capture the northern sun, the pluses continue to add up.

Set well back from the road, a long asphalt driveway leads through the gorgeous grounds occupying approximately one acre. Beautiful established trees complement intelligent planting and landscaping that provides utmost privacy and picture-perfect views from the interiors.

While the stunning living area under the soaring feature roof is a highlight, it’s far from the only one. Take the master suite for example. Indulgent in every way, it provides direct access to a decked area with a private outdoor spa. The ensuite, like the rest of the home, displays unique attributes that are more than just aesthetic – the gorgeous glass wall blends filtered light throughout the suite, that includes a designer vanity and wonderful double shower.

A second master suite, situated in the middle of the home, features another private bathroom and walk-in robe, while the southern wing of the home is ideal for children and teenagers, thanks to a large rumpus area that can be closed off from the rest of the home, and big bedrooms with quality fittings that are serviced by a brilliant bathroom.

The kitchen features black stone tops, a 900mm gas cooker and stainless steel appliances, with a large adjoining laundry. A clever low window provides glimpses of nature to the east, while the fabulous private courtyard really does feel like an extension of the kitchen and meals area.

As you’d expect of a home of this calibre, carpets, window furnishings and light fittings are all high quality, while double glazing, multiple split systems and a large solar array provide year-round comfort and sustainability.

There’s a large double garage under the roofline of the home, and an incredible standalone multi-car garage that has dual car access, and a wonderful, versatile space that ideal for a home gymnasium, home office or artist’s retreat.

Positioned close to the highly regarded Eltham College and Research Primary School, it’s also within easy reach of village shopping, central Eltham and mall shopping at Doncaster or Greensborough. Public transport options are plentiful, as are sporting facilities, walking and cycling trails, and the gourmet delights of the Yarra Valley.

The ultimate entertainer, this home is a testament to thoughtful design and sustainable living. It transcends the ordinary, thanks to its strategic location, unbelievable salt/solar pool and considered architecture, combining to deliver a harmonious blend of luxury, beauty and functionality.
