Ormond VIC 3204

Starring a Shaker-style kitchen with elite Ilve appliances, the home is a showcase of hand-selected finishes with Emporite cabinetry and natural granite benchtops for the kitchen, Emprador marble for the ensuite, and Crema Marfil marble for tiles, powder-room and hearth. With warm Brushbox parquetry alongside the plushest premium carpets, and a contemporary chandelier from Armadale's Custom Lighting for formal dining, the home is intricately detailed most notably with a stylised Grecian Key motif echoed from the marble-inlaid entry, to the ensuite, to outdoors; around the pool and al fresco shower.

Combining luxury and functionality with well-chosen window-furnishings (including e-screen and block-out blinds, bespoke curtains, plantation shutters and climate-controlling roller-shutters), it's all include here from walk-in and dual-duty laundry/butler's pantries - to a laundry chute! Climate controlled over four zones by ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning plus a gas-fireplace, the home features alarm and video intercom security, ducted vacuum, and surround-sound ceiling-speakers - inside, outside, upstairs and down.

Set in a formal landscape with an Italian-style colonnade of pencil pines culminating in a rare Illawarra flame-tree, there are lawns for kids to play, extensive random sandstone paving to entertain, and an amenity area with 6000L water-storage and kitchen-garden to harvest this winter. There's even a palazzo-style water-garden centred on a gentle fountain to guide guests directly to the glass-tiled solar-heated pool and entertainers' rear garden.

In a highpoint position with balcony views to the Dandenongs, even this location holds grand appeal for family life. A walk to Ormond station and one block to bus-routes to both campuses of Monash University, this once-in-a lifetime estate has the retail and rail strip almost around the corner, Chadstone's world-class shopping within minutes, and McKinnon Primary School in Zone.
