THE DEAL
INSPECTIONS VIA PRIOR REGISTRATION ONLY
Luxury has a new name. Encompassing approximately 2284 sqm of perfectly sculpted Paul Bangay-designed gardens with a second frontage to Inglebrae Court and parking for upward of five vehicles, this architectural masterpiece is, without exaggeration, Melbourne's finest home. Breathtaking in scale and precision, this landmark tri-level icon transcends expectations at every turn. From its symmetry to the poolside entertainment zone and north-south tennis court, it is both a work of art and a feat of engineering brilliance.
Cobblestone paths wind past a centuries-old oak to the commanding 1889 Edwardian facade, where bold steel-framed glass, American oak, and Venetian plaster contrast beautifully with soaring ceilings, intricate leadlight windows, and restored ornate details. A formal wing with a gallery foyer, sitting room and opulent main suite epitomises elegance, with his-and-hers dressing rooms, a bay window outlook over the lush garden, and a twin marble ensuite bathroom.
An artwork in itself, the 2m-wide staircase stretches across three extraordinary levels, its polished plaster, steel, and Tundra marble composition setting the stage for the home's monumental proportions. Expansive living and dining spaces, framed entirely by glass, extend in their entirety to the rear gardens, joined by the kitchen, appointed with American White Oak joinery, integrated Gaggenau and Miele appliances, and a skylit butler's pantry built for grand entertaining. At the rear, symmetry within the rear facade forms an imposing presence, overlooking a 20m pool, championship tennis court, and an alfresco pavilion that redefines outdoor living with a gas fireplace, BBQ kitchen, and full bathroom.
Five king-sized bedrooms, each as indulgent as the next, surround an upper-level living room, whilst it's the basement that takes entertainment to new levels, from the multi-tiered luxury cinema with a marble bar and temp-controlled wine cellar to the custom-built gymnasium. An office, multiple living areas, seven bathrooms, wood-burning and ethanol fireplaces, custom steel/marble dining settings, and garaging for five vehicles with additional secure parking underscore the impressive stature.
