In 1973, one man set out to build the finest home he could for his own family. He chose solid brick on a suspended slab, sourced marble, terrazzo, walnut veneer and stained decorative glass, and spared no expense on the craftsmanship. Five decades on, that commitment to quality still shines through in every room – a standard that would be almost impossible to replicate today.
Set on approximately 958m² in a quiet no-through road, the home has since been substantially updated and modernised, while carefully preserving the character that makes it so special.
Your story begins on the wrap-around marble terrace, leading into a wide foyer where double doors reveal an elegant lounge framed by walnut veneer joinery. Beyond, the north-facing dining room opens back to the terrace, while the updated granite kitchen – with two Bosch ovens, a Bosch gas cooktop and a Miele dishwasher – overlooks a spacious meals area made for family life.
Four large bedrooms, a sun-splashed sunroom, a gallery of storage, a newly renovated bathroom with its original marble floors, a powder room and a generous terrazzo-floored laundry complete the main level. Downstairs, there is room for everyone to grow: a huge fifth bedroom, an expansive rumpus or retreat, a dedicated home office, a study nook, a second kitchen, a second powder room and a wine cellar/storage room. With its own kitchen and amenities, this lower level can serve as a fully self-contained unit – perfect for extended family, older children, guests or a home-based business.
Outside, terraced garden rooms with mature fruit trees stretch across the deep east-facing backyard, while roses and olive trees line the Mediterranean-inspired front garden. Ducted heating and reverse-cycle cooling, automated shutters, three water tanks and an oversized double garage add everyday comfort.
And then there is the address. In a prime A+ position just a heartbeat from Westfield Doncaster, zoned for Doncaster Primary School and Doncaster Secondary College, with buses, the library, parkland and the Eastern Freeway close by, this is Doncaster at its most convenient.
For those with an eye to the future, the opportunity here is extraordinary. Holdings of approximately 958m² are increasingly rare this close to Westfield Doncaster, and this substantial block sits within the General Residential Zone (Schedule 2). That combination of size, zoning and location creates outstanding scope for a boutique multi-townhouse development, a luxury custom-built residence, or a subdivision that retains the existing home – all subject to council approval. Enjoy the home now, lease it out while you plan, or land-bank one of Doncaster's most strategic sites for years to come.
Built with love, crafted to last and positioned for the future – the next chapter is yours to write.
