5 Zeus Court
Templestowe Lower

A stellar example of chic, mid-20th century architectural brilliance, this landmark, seven-bedroom family classic - as featured in Home Beautiful Magazine - has been the architect's own meticulously maintained home for over half a century. Offered for the first time, this is a rock-solid, Ben Alexander (OAM)-designed, 35 square (approx.) home that boldly pioneered a more open-plan style of living and is certain to exceed expectations, on a peaceful cul-de-sac allotment of 1028 square metres (approx.).

Wrapping around an exquisitely crafted, light-drawing and central Japanese-style atrium garden, the living spaces manage to create an open sense of connectedness while also offering a sense of division, ensuring the home is suited both to daily family life and to larger scale entertaining. The kitchen/meals is largely original and well-designed around a floating central island bench, while flowing easily to a dining area in which the swinging-door bar is sure to be a talking piece. Meanwhile, the flow continues to a huge lounge where a staggering wall of floor-to-ceiling windows introduce streams of northern light to complement delightful garden outlooks.

Entertainers will also celebrate the continued effortless connection from a traditional library/possible pool room to outdoor living and a BBQ area that is directly adjacent to all the joy of the home's in-ground swimming pool. Importantly, the master bedroom offers parents the privacy of walk-in robes and an ensuite, whilst each of the remaining bedrooms has been completed with built-in robe storage and some also with built-in desks.

Additional features include a fully tiled and particularly chic central bathroom with independent shower and bath, as well as two separate WCs, a triple carport with additional driveway parking for another three vehicles, ducted heating and split system air conditioning.

Right on the cusp of Doncaster, this terrific position is zoned for Templestowe College and merely moments from everything at Westfield Doncaster, the shops of High Street and the endless expanses of Ruffey Lake parkland as well as the Eastern Freeway and its popular Park & Ride service.
