Woodend VIC 3442

It???s easy to see why it has attracted so much attention and praise. From concept to completion, the hallmarks have been clever design, attention to detail and a commitment to quality.
Designed by the vendor???s brother, architect, Michael Moloney, the house is split level and has two distinct areas. On the entry level, the living room is vast, with soaring ceilings and an enormous picture window framing the fabulous view of nearby Mt Macedon. With the views starring in every window, the d??cor is minimalist and understated. A predominantly white palette contrasts with the dark concrete floor, and the angled windows and practical external blade walls add interest. Big glass doors open onto the fabulous outdoor entertaining area, whilst a bank of cupboards conceals a euro study, utilities and storage.
In addition to the passive solar opportunities afforded by the polished concrete floor and, double glazed north facing windows there is deliciously warm under floor heating, reverse cycle air conditioning and a gas log fire. Remote electric windows and dual blinds make control of the indoor climate simple and efficient.
The kitchen has an abundance of cupboards, soft-close drawers and benches in gloss white, and a dramatic mirrored splash-back to echo the views. Integrated appliances provide splashes of bright steel, while a very large butler???s pantry takes care of the messy practicalities.
This house is an entertainer???s dream, with the pool and deck extending the living space to the fabulous outdoors. The dining area has been known to host dinner parties of 70!
The laundry/utility room is enormous, and has a powder room, as well as loads of storage and bench space.
In the elevated wing, serenely separate from the rest of the house, are the four bedrooms. The master suite epitomises seclusion and luxury, with a dressing room and fabulous ensuite with concealed shower and toilet. The remaining bedrooms have built in robes and desk and external access doors.
A bespoke sculptural bath is the centre piece of the family bathroom.
Also on this wing is a lounge/playroom that can be integrated or separated by means of a large sliding wall panel.
Quality finishes include thick sisal carpet and exclusive Harper Sandilands Royal Oak flooring.
On the northern side of the house is a low line timber deck and a pergola made from substantial beams and timbers. Just across the lawn from the spa and solar-heated inground pool, it enjoys views of Mt Macedon and famous Hanging Rock. A pair of enormous Elm trees frames the front of the house, and there are some young plantings being established, but with around 1550 square metres of garden, there is plenty of scope for further development.
There is a double garage clad in Frencham cypress, a gravel driveway and paths.
The property is connected to mains gas, power, phone and water, and is tech-ready with a hub for internet, pay TV and security. There is a 5000 litre rainwater tank and a solar hot water system. It is only a very short distance from local schools and the centre of Woodend township.
In this property, thoughtful architecture has combined with a beautiful site, breathtaking views and a terrific location. The result is a stunning residence that is unequalled in comfort, style and beauty.
