By AppointmentSerene, secure, and altogether sumptuous, this architectural prize employs outstanding space, first-class inclusions, a private basement, and canopies of vibrant plant life to be a peaceful retreat in Baysides leafy heart.Standing out from the luxury-home norm with a private elevator accessing each of its three storeys, the abode offers an endlessly practical layout to be equally brilliant for families, downsizers, and professionals. A sense of space is quick to impress in a broad hallway and sun-soaked front sitting room, with high ceilings continuing into a back section made for the entertainer.A gas-log fire, green outlooks, and vast proportion all add to the ambiance, with living, dining, and completely private backyard areas combining to make warm-weather hospitality a breeze. The passionate cook is sure to feel at home in a gourmet kitchen, with profuse soft-close cabinetry, sleek stone benches, and a walk-in pantry perfect counterparts to range-topping Smeg appliances. Just as ideal as a movie room, games area, music studio, or anything in-between, a sound-treated rumpus room accompanies a workshop and turntable on a three-car basement level, with accommodation spanning two storeys above to give a family ample room to grow into.Flexible by design, a ground-level guest room and ensuite double as a home workspace, with a top-floor main bedroom enjoying all-day rays, a walk-in robe, ensuite, and sweeping views to wake to. A smart bathroom with a separate powder room joins excellent robe space in serving bedrooms three, four, and five, while other highlights reverse-cycle heating/cooling, engineered timber floors, two bathtubs, camera security, automated irrigation, three-phase power, a retractable alfresco awning, full-size laundry, ducted vacuum, and front deck delightful for a cocktail on a summer evening.Mere footsteps to elite schools in St Leonards and Haileybury Colleges, great coffee at Were Street and Dendy Villages, and the shopping, dining, and nightlife of a true Melbourne icon in Hampton Street, its only moments to acclaimed golf courses, famous Church Street, city-bound trains, and the foreshores parks, leisure trail, and pristine swimming beaches.
