Unrivalled in Warrandyte South with its grand proportions, refined sense of elegance and superior quality, this majestic 100sq (approx.) residence delivers a palatial living experience on a breathtaking scale, with a vast collection of living spaces for entertaining and countless options for recreation and relaxation.
Sitting gracefully behind automatic wrought iron gates on manicured grounds, no expense or detail has been spared in the creation of one of Manninghams finest homes, where state-of-the-art features, exquisite finishes and exceptional build quality dovetail with the one-of-a-kind design.
A European-style Portico with travertine flooring adds an extra element of security, as does the supreme alarm system. Individually styled double doors then open onto a magnificent entrance foyer, styled with a Murano chandelier and 20mm Crema Blue marble floors to set the tone for the lavish nature inside.
Class and elegance defines the formal lounge that flows off the main entry, dressed with a striking open fireplace. An arched opening unites the area with the formal dining, which in turn also connects with a European-style terrace, permitting glorious Northern light to filter through the opulent arrangement.
An expansive open-plan living at the top of the main hallway features an impressive gourmet kitchen as its centrepiece - and, evidently, is designed to entertain on a grand scale. Reams of rare light granite adorn the lengthy benchtops and splashback, while quality Gaggenau appliances, three-fan Qasair rangehood, cool room and a Blanco compactor rubbish bin are all hidden behind a central glass display cabinet - perfect for concealed meal preparations. Complete with an integrated Liebherr freezer, integrated fridge, sweeper ducts, microwave and emporite cabinetry, it's a sight to behold.
Swathes of glass frame views of the surrounding landscape and resort grounds below, and rather than enjoying the peaceful outlook from the informal dining or family living (with gas log fireplace) that complete the open-plan layout, venture onto the lengthy terrace for a front row view whilst enjoying a cocktail at sunset.
A generous collection of double bedrooms (four with their own ensuite) include a marvellous Master bedroom that dazzles with its large dressing room, sizeable sleeping area, terrace access and luxurious fully-tiled ensuite with a freestanding soaker bath, walk-in shower and his and hers vanity. The large home office, located at the front of the home, is dressed with the flexibility of a sixth bedroom option, while a downstairs bedroom with easy access to a fully-tiled bathroom with sauna offers overnight guest or extended family accommodation.
A wonderfully scaled and proportioned rumpus downstairs is consistent with the homes desire for large scale entertaining and integration with its scenic surrounds. A Calacutta marble wet bar (with two new bar fridges) services your guests every need, and with its close proximity to the 13-seat, soundproof theatre room of Gold Class quality (with platform seating, screen, projector with rare anamorphic lens for superior picture quality and state-of-the-art audio system), it's the ultimate cinematic experience.
French doors of the rumpus also integrates the interior with the resort grounds, comprising a glamorous fully-tiled, saltwater-chlorinated and gas-heated swimming pool (with remote spa) framed with handmade slate tiles, Cabana with air conditioning/heating, open fireplace, marble kitchen (Electrolux BBQ, AEG stainless steel oven, microwave/combi oven, ice maker and rangehood), fully-tiled change room with shower, bi-fold doors plus a pro-quality full-size and floodlit tennis court.
The homes commitment to quality and astute attention to detail is omnipresent, ensuring your living experience is of the highest standard. With so much detail and extraordinary features, this proud residence also enjoys the benefits of a fully vented 13-car basement garage (with double shed, ducted vacuum, speakers, alarm plus home office and games room with kitchenette and separate access to cater for independent living), two remote double garages with epoxy flooring and internal access, video intercom, speakers to all rooms (can be operated independently or as a whole throughout the home), zoned heating and cooling in each room (with separate control panel in each room), slab heating throughout, three-metre high ceilings, emporite doors and skirting, 20mm Crema Blue marble slabs framing carpeted areas, twin engine ducted vacuum units with integrated hoses, dumbwaiter lift, glass light switches, terracotta roof tiles, all TVs connected to Foxtel, gym room, Ralph Lauren stairwell chandelier, three-phase power, irrigated gardens and 23,000-litre water tank capacity.
