Architecturally designed to coddle the family in the lap of luxury, this serene sanctuary is perched in an elevated position, saturating each room with sunshine and stunning views. Embraced by towering trees and rock retaining walls, the home has a seamless connection to its environs, wrapped in vast panes of double glazing, and echoing its surrounds with an abundant use of stylish natural materials. Draped in imported Italian bricks, the home lies harmoniously amid its landscape, welcoming guests across a wide verandah. Inside, oak floorboards meander through the sprawling layout, hosting formal gatherings beside a stacked-stone gas fireplace in the lounge room, while a huge open plan zone mingles crowds of family and friends. A 5.8m void and a wall of windows highlights the open plan domain, nurturing relaxation, lively dinners, and indoor-outdoor celebrations. Stretching through stacker doors to an enormous northern patio, sheltered dining and sunny recreation are enjoyed until day turns to night. The home cook is pampered with an exquisite kitchen, dressed in swathes of stone, Italian tapware, and endless 2pac cabinetry. A mammoth island aids preparation, while an exciting array of Smeg and Bosch appliances caters to crowds, including a wide induction cooktop. Gleaming with exposed concrete floors, the basement promotes zoned privacy as the family grows. A huge games room with a kitchenette offers flexibility for cinema or music, while a multi-purpose room and adjacent bathroom provides options for a gym or office. Lavished in luxury, the master bedroom is placed privately on the ground level with a work zone and retreat, a fully tiled ensuite with a freestanding bath, a customised dressing room and verandah access. Upstairs, the kids are spoilt with a study for homework, and a family retreat for play, opening onto a lush treetop balcony. 3 immense bedrooms with walk-in robes nurture private sanctuary, sharing a spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower and a separate WC. Finished with an internal-access 4 car garage with large workshop, the home is cocooned in today's luxuries including 3-phase power. Balancing lifestyle and leisure, the home is situated among parklands, walking trails, sports clubs, and buses, while minutes from Eastland, Ringwood station, and elite public and private schools.
