Last Listing description (June 2017)
Architecturally designed and constructed by renowned Sibbel Builders known for their pre-eminent and 'unashamedly modern' designs, this sprawling example of their likely last and finest work amasses a 1509m2 (approx.) block amid quiet and tranquil surrounds enjoyed only by a privileged few.
Immediately evident are the hallmark characteristics expectant of a residence of this calibre, showcasing electric gates with drive-in/drive-out access, vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, passive solar efficiency with north-oriented vast glazings, beautifully integrated bespoke joinery throughout and a series of formal and casual living spaces catering to every day enjoyment as well as unrivalled entertaining.
A spacious, elegant interior is employed with restrained architectural elements so as not to appear ostentatious, particularly appreciated in the inviting formal lounge and dining with the introduction of textures and finishes to encourage a warm ambience. The open fireplace brings the family together during the cooler months and becomes an arresting focal point.
A series of well planned and executed living spaces deliver exceptional household functionality and pleasing aesthetics, including a family room with meals, an additional retreat for the children with built-in cabinetry to house TV/games and a seriously striking rumpus room featuring a wet bar and powder room - a poolside must-have. The living zones are further extended by a brand new expansive covered deck delivering a seamless merging of indoor/outdoor living around the Roman-style, solar-heated, in-ground swimming pool and gas-heated spa. These separate zones, each connecting to the deck, are brought together as one to form a huge entertaining space to host the largest of gatherings.
The well-equipped timber kitchen is at the heart of the home and comprises an electric oven, gas stove, stainless steel Asko dishwasher, walk-in pantry and overlooks the garden through large windows. The design offers ample prep space making it a pleasure to work in.
Luxury continues in the main bedroom, enhanced by a walk-in robe, built-in bedside tables, ceiling fan, ensuite with rain shower, decadent spa, sizable vanity and ablaze with glass bricks. Additional bedrooms are generously sized, contain double built-in robes and split system air-conditioning, with the added bonus of the fourth bedroom being master sized and boasting a full ensuite. A great benefit lending itself to multi-generational living, particularly due to the completely level design - an advantage for seniors and those requiring disability access.
Luxe finishes have been adopted into the design of the sumptuous amenities, with quality materials incorporated throughout creating a sense of continuity. The family bathroom features a large shower, separate bath and double vanity. An adjoining powder room is also added for convenience.
Seclusion is a key feature to maximise full enjoyment of the established gardens with landscaping introducing both formality and informality into different parts of the property. Additional inclusions are listed as; study with built-in desk and shelving, highly efficient laundry with cupboards and built-in ironing board, slab heating, split system air-conditioning (x6), ceiling fans, sleek alcoves to accommodate TV's (lounge and family room), a blend of new carpet, floating floor and tiles, ample storage, ducted vacuum, high ceilings and doorways, privacy screening, security alarm and remote-entry garage with workshop space, cabinetry and rear access.
With the main entertaining areas and master bedroom wired for data and HD video distribution, fitted surround sound speakers in the main living room, the home features stunning state-of-the-art technology.

Parker Reserve with playground and tennis courts, Dandenong Creek Trail, Heathmont Bowling Club, Heathmont East Primary School, BMX track, Heathmont East Preschool, Heathmont Railway Station and Heathmont Village Shopping Centre providing; florist, pharmacy, beauty parlour, cafes, banks, hairdresser, fruit shop, bakery, butchers, clothes store and more.
