Sporting an ultra-modern, cutting-edge design with high-end finishes, designer style and multiple living areas, this bespoke five-bedroom architecturally designed masterpiece has no equal in Research. Well hidden on a private acre (approx.) block, this peaceful family sanctuary makes an immediate impression with its captivating façade, dressed with lifetime-lasting zinc cladding that requires zero maintenance and duly sets the tone for the elevated level of style and sophistication that resides inside. Double-glazed argon-filled thermal heat commercial-grade windows and doors filter loads of northern sunlight into the striking interior, which delivers no shortage of wow factor with its soaring square-set ceilings of various heights, full-length internal doors, luxurious fully-tiled bathrooms with high quality Apaiser fittings, lavish lighting, feature open-step timber staircase, multiple indoor-outdoor entertaining spaces and natural beauty all around. Sleek lines, excellent visual flow and huge dimensions are assets of the vast open-plan living domain, which flaunts a central two-way feature fireplace and sliding doors that integrate the showroom interior with the sensational entertainer's deck. A gas mains connection for your BBQ makes it easy to cook outside against a scenic backdrop any time of year, but with a first-class kitchen with a feature island bench, stone benchtops, Miele appliances and a Butler's pantry, it's hard to resist the temptation of cooking in style inside. A theatre room with a ceiling-mounted projector and screen makes every night a movie night, while a three-bedroom, two-bathroom children's accommodation wing that includes a carpeted living area with deck access is successfully separated from the parents' zone that boasts a large retreat of its own (with deck access) and a hotel-style master bedroom with a glamorous ensuite styled a freestanding soaker bath. Overnight guests will appreciate the secluded nature of the lower-level fifth bedroom (with ensuite), while a zoned inverter ducted air-conditioning system, remote triple garage with sink, ducted vacuum, hidden 10,000-litre rain tank (pumped to outside taps), home office with a towering high ceiling and a gym room completes the appeal of this idyllic escape to the country. Moments to local Research shops, Eltham's Main Road shopping precinct, wineries of the Yarra Valley, transport, Research PS and Eltham College, it truly is a home that needs to be seen to be believed.
