Last Listing description (June 2017)
This simply stunning four bedroom plus study home has been completely gutted, re-wired, plumbed and renovated into what is essentially now a brand new home, offering the ultimate in luxurious, stylish living within moments of the Eastern Freeway/Eastlink, well-regarded schools, Nunawading train station, Tunstall Square shops, The Pines Shopping Centre and scenic parkland.
In fact, don't be fooled by the implication of 'Springvale Rd living' with this state-of-the-art residence, which is set deeply into the sprawling 3472sqm (approx.) allotment amongst towering trees behind the security of remote front gates to offer a private living experience in safe and secure surrounds.
Not only does the secure rear yard with key lock gates and peaceful pockets of lawn highlight its suitability for the growing family, but so too does the chic interior of this breathtaking residence, made possible with a generous display of three separate living areas that promote a practical and functional approach to everyday family life.
What's also clear from the outset is that not a cent has been spared in modernising this home. A grand 1200mm wide front door that works on a pivot is a fitting welcome to the sheer magnificence that awaits inside. An impressive entrance employing depth, width and height successfully separates the home's sun-kissed living spaces from the dedicated sleeping wing, which comfortably accommodates five spacious bedrooms (Master with fitted walk-in robe and glamorous ensuite with 1500mm wide shower with two 'Monsoon' shower heads, LED-sensor temperature display and built-in shower seat), separate powder room and a lavish family bathroom, luxuriously styled with a 1200mm wide shower with two 'Monsoon' shower heads and LED-sensor temperature display, and designer freestanding soaker bath. The intelligence and carefully considered nature behind the design of this remarkable residence is also evident in the clever use of double-glazed skylights along the lengthy hallway, which draws abundant natural light into this section of the home.
An understated elegance defines the radiant formal lounge and dining arrangement, warmed by a 600mm gas log fireplace (with remote) set atop an engineered Calacutta hearth with a magnificent outlook across the grassed front yard in the background.
Designer kitchen boasting a lengthy feature island bench, engineered Calacutta benchtops, Fisher and Paykel CoolDraw fridge, 900mm and 600mm wide ovens, display cabinet with LED backlighting, taps with LED-sensor temperature display, separate Butler's pantry and loads of storage is a fitting feature in the grand open-plan layout, dressed with roasted Blackbutt engineered floors underfoot, warmed by an 1800mm-wide gas log fireplace (with remote control) and linking physically and visually with the scenic outdoors.
Head downstairs and discover a private rumpus, featuring plenty of space for casual living, a billiard table in the middle and large flat-screen TV on the vast wall space available. Complete with a fantastic wet bar with a Fisher and Paykel dish draw, commercial-quality bar fridge (with quiet fans installed), Absolute Black granite benchtops and LED strip lighting, it's primed for your housewarming party! And just in case you run out of wine, head across the four-car garage and into the character-filled wine cellar, beautifully styled with concreted flooring and exposed brick walls reminiscent of a winery.
As you'd expect, this impressive home also offers the best in modern comfort, with reverse-cycle air-conditioning units to all bedrooms, laundry and living areas, plantation window shutters, double-glazed front windows, Viridian 'hush' laminated rear windows, upgraded three-phase power supply (installed underground), huge laundry with Black Pearl marble benchtop and TV, LED downlighting throughout, R6.0 ceiling insulation batts, R2.5 high density insulation batts to all external and internal walls, new roof and gutters installed, new down pipe system installed ready for the installation of water tanks, extensive under house storage with shelving, designer switches throughout, video monitor/intercom to front gate, keypad access to front door, pedestrian gate and front gates, sensor for lights to hallway and garage, solid concrete slab construction to upstairs living areas, bathroom and ensuite share an instantaneous hot water service, and the kitchen, laundry, Butler's pantry and bar also share a storage hot water service with a recirculating pump, meaning there's no wait for hot water to these areas!
