A meticulously curated, builder’s own, top-to-bottom renovation has elevated this exquisite Spanish Mission home into an uplifting celebration of light and proportion that seamlessly integrates its rich circa-1930s Art Deco heritage with a more contemporary design and effortless alfresco connections. Rising above its superbly landscaped corner allotment with two lavish outdoor entertaining areas, this double-story home presents four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a study before culminating in poolside entertaining where a spa further underlines the promise of year-round family frivolity.

Organised around a huge stone-topped island bench with polished hardwood under foot, the open-plan dining / living area is spectacularly large and light-filled, underpinned by a gourmet European kitchen and effortless connection to the deck, the pool and the spa. Meanwhile, a second family living room delivers its own alfresco flow to an equally sun-drawing entertaining area that evokes an alluring sense of sanctuary.

The bedrooms are each generously scaled pamper zones with walk-in or built-in robes – two with ensuites – whilst there is a lounge room and upstairs living to ensure multiple areas for family members to retreat as needed. Further highlights of this details-oriented home include a double lock-up garage and secure driveway parking for another two vehicles, as well as a powder room, solar panels with a battery, a security alarm, central and zoned heating and air conditioning.

Zoned for the Lloyd Street School and conveniently positioned for private school access, this is a first-class family location near Darling Railway Station, Gardiners Creek parkland, Waverley Road cafes and city-bound trams, as well as Koornang Road dining and Chadstone Shopping Centre.
