Park Orchards

Amidst exquisite grounds on a private 1.6 acre / 6,225sqm (approx.) sanctuary hides one of Melbournes finest homes; a bespoke four-bedroom plus study residence built with the grandeur and elegance of yesteryear in the best street in Park Orchards.

Inspired by classical English architecture of the Cotswolds, gardens by Edna Walling and crafted by award-winning Kokoda Property with century-old materials sourced from around the world, this peerless home commands a class of its own simply because it has no equal.

Showcasing a Stuart Rattle-designed interior of a refined and cultured nature, this home has been crafted with superior quality and faultless vision and craftsmanship for the buyer with exquisite taste while delivering a free-flowing floorplan offering zoned accommodation, multi-generational possibilities and an array of indoor, outdoor and poolside spaces.

Automatic gates open onto a circular driveway that embraces an exquisite English Register Water Fountain, which together with the handcrafted Mt Angus Sandstone copper gutters and Historic Terracotta roof tiles that once sheltered a 500 year old monastery, evoke the charm and character of a Classic European manor.

A stone-tiled hallway hidden behind the entry Vestibule embodies the homes international flavour and extraordinary detail, as does the opulent formal lounge/dining, which captivates with its delicately designed vaulted ceiling, 100 year old limestone fireplace and indoor-outdoor aspect.

That essence of sophisticated palatial living extends to the expansive north-facing open-plan living domain, enhanced with relaxed fireside living, a magnificent calacatta marble Kitchen, LaCanche oven with Butlers pantry and a sizeable central dining area that accommodates a 12-seated dining table. But why dine inside when you can open the French doors and dine alfresco-style with a soothing outlook across the spectacular north-facing lifestyle backyard featuring a fully-tiled self cleaning swimming pool, adjoining pool house (with kitchen and bathroom, perfect for a home office, guest quarters or studio), ornamental lake and private nature reserve.

A private retreat zoned among the three-bedroom, two-bathroom childrens wing grants the kids with their own space to play. Privacy is also a standout feature of the hotel-style master bedroom with the walls tailored in fabric and boasting a deluxe vaulted ceiling dressing room and majestic marble ensuite featuring a 200-year-old Italian bath as its glamorous centrepiece.

Unrivalled in every category with a long list of must-see features, this home of distinction offers convenient access to excellent schools, shops, parks, buses and the Eastern Freeway.
