Design by Finnis Architects as the builders own home, this sumptuous four bedroom plus study three bathroom stunner is better than new within a private landscaped garden sanctuary. Using 100 year old recycled pressed red solid bricks from a Kensington warehouse to pay homage to Bentleigh Easts 1920s past coupled with the inspired lifestyle needs of today, this c2021 built home is full of contemporary character using VJ board panelling to frame the spaces. On the northern side ensuring plenty of natural light, this bespoke creation showcases a large private study, a mudroom to the garage, a downstairs guest bedroom with robes and beautiful semi ensuite and custom laundry. The Hamptons style kitchen is a highlight with its Miele appliances include two pyrolytic ovens, Fisher & Paykel extraction rangehood, Hafele cabinetry, Japanese finger mosaic splashback, 60mm benchtops and a butlers pantry. The awe inspiring open plan entertaining area is a relaxed space for family connection with its gas fireplace and stacker sliding doors to a covered alfresco deck, with Velux skylights, is home to a Weber barbecue kitchen with bar fridge space and gas/water points, and a landscaped fire pit area. The first floor has a huge living area for kids to escape with two double bedrooms towards the back with robes, a stylish bathroom with bath, powder room and the gorgeous main bedroom is at the front featuring a double sided walk in robe and luxe ensuite.
