Its commanding street presence suggests this extraordinary home is cut from an entirely different cloth. Venture beyond the automatic front gates and through the stately double doors and you'll quickly realise that is indeed the case. Refined in its quality, generous in its proportions and displaying a luxurious character, those with an appreciation of the finer things in life will value the outstanding quality associated with this lavish two-storey, five-bedroom residence. Zoned living, open spaces and swift access to Our Lady of Sion College, Box Hill Institute, Deakin University Burwood Campus and Kerrimuir Primary School will appeal to the family on the search for a luxurious upgrade in a location that's every bit the 'educational hub'; the home's ability to entertain in glorious fashion will also be valued by the grand entertainer, who will view this entertaining haven as the final piece of the high-end lifestyle they crave. A sleek island bench with waterfall stone benches is the face of the first-class kitchen, which generates instant appeal with its 900mm Blanco stainless steel cooker, integrated dishwasher, walk-in pantry and separate Butler's pantry, which allows for concealed meals preparation whilst entertaining. Equally captivating is the incredible size and scale of the vast open-plan living domain, which comfortably blends the sunken lounge, elevated living, north-facing meals area and kitchen as one in the heart of the home. The private nature of the carpeted lounge presents a favourable space to relax and unwind; a third living zone upstairs with balcony access, meanwhile, lends itself well to a spacious games retreat for the kids. Thoughtful design sees fully-tiled ensuites attached to the four deluxe bedrooms upstairs (master with private balcony, large walk-in robe and huge spa ensuite) and downstairs guest bedroom, putting an end, once and for all, to morning queues forming outside the bathroom door. A gas mains connection to the undercover alfresco, ducted refrigerated cooling/heating, toilets connected to recycled rainwater tank, alarm, high ceilings, open study, remote triple garage with internal access and rear roller door, mud room, bright laundry and an easy-care north-facing backyard completes the appeal of this exquisite residence, located within minutes of buses, Box Hill Centro, Westfield Doncaster, North Blackburn Shopping Centre, Blackburn & Box Hill High Schools, scenic parks and the Eastern Freeway/Eastlink
