Designed with generous proportions and meticulously considered down to the smallest practical detail, this substantial contemporary residence has been purpose-built for fabulous family living and entertaining just steps from Hays Paddock. Its elevated corner position has been engineered to maximise functionality with an entrance off Newbury Street, allowing broad two-level proportions to extend across the site as a multi-zoned family environment nestled between landscaped east and west gardens. Abundant natural light, robust construction and a refined palette of bluestone, Blackbutt timber, glass and concrete-look stone establish its distinctive modern character, while exceptional communal, entertaining and private spaces create a home in which every room has been designed to function effectively.

Beyond a secure high-walled entry, magnificent living and dining areas unfold on a scale that makes both everyday family life and large gatherings effortless. Eight-metre-wide sliding glass doors open to an impressive all-season entertaining area, enclosed by retractable flyscreens and comprehensively equipped with app-controlled strip heating and outdoor kitchen featuring barbecue, two wok burners, twin rangehoods, sink and extensive storage. Beyond, the leafy west-facing garden provides plenty of space to play, relax or soak in its glass-fenced spa. At the centre of the interior, a large custom kitchen combines Blackbutt cabinetry with concrete-look stone benchtops, a broad dining island, Miele gas cooktop and twin wall ovens, Qasair extraction and exceptional storage. A fitted bar with drinks refrigerator space and a butler’s pantry with dishwasher and provision for a second fridge provide invaluable support when entertaining, while a powder room and full laundry with extensive storage complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, a generous rumpus/retreat provides space for a pool table as well as relaxed family living, extending to a deep undercover terrace beneath broad skylights. Four-bedroom plus study accommodation is intelligently arranged into distinct zones. Two oversized bedrooms with extensive built-in robes share their own wing with a family bathroom, with one bedroom opening directly to the terrace. Another bedroom with an integrated study desk enjoys ensuite access to a second bathroom and powder room. A fitted study with built-in robes offers the flexibility of a fifth bedroom or nursery. Reached via a wide, skylit hall at the home’s eastern end, the sumptuous main suite incorporates its own sitting or breakfast area, an exceptional four-by-four-metre walk-in robe/dressing room and an ensuite with twin vanity, walk-in shower and freestanding bath. Sliding glass doors open to a secluded, sun-filled landscaped garden with independent street access—a delightful final dimension to this remarkable private retreat.

Meticulous planning is evident throughout in seemingly endless built-in storage and a comprehensive suite of appointments, including bluestone-tiled floors, hydronic underfloor heating and evaporative cooling downstairs, reverse cycle heating and air conditioning upstairs, double glazing, ducted vacuum, bedroom ceiling fans, app-controlled CCTV. An enormous remote seven-car garage incorporates workshop space, accompanied by a separately secured, temperature-controlled cellar with capacity for 924 bottles and three-phase power. Together, these carefully resolved inclusions reflect the practicality, thoughtful consideration and attention to detail underpinning every aspect of this magnificent home.

The scale and amenity of this home is complemented by its outstanding location. Hays Paddock’s expansive parkland, playground and walking trails are just steps away, with local shops and supermarket, city-bound buses and the No. 48 tram, Kew East Primary School and Kew High School all within walking distance. Perfectly positioned, the home offers easy access to North Balwyn Village, Kew Junction, prestigious independent schools, Yarra River parkland and the Eastern Freeway.
