About this property

Setting a new standard in prestige period living, this obsessively creative design from award-winning Maurie Novak Architecture / Obsessive Architecture reinterprets Spanish Mission beauty in ground-breaking style. Masterfully transitioning the original Spanish Mission home's modest family plan to a symphony of light and luxury, this four bedroom and study, 2.5 bathroom architect-design opens in spectacular style - stepping beyond an eye-catching barley-twist, vaulted-ceilinged veranda into impeccably restored period spaces ...with a literally breathtaking view to the luminous living beyond. Making a gracious entry with beautiful original rooms including a fine formal lounge, the home unfolds through a vast double doors and a marble threshold into the curvaceous family spaces beyond; offering room to lounge and dine beneath a raked ceiling soaring to 4.5.m....and entertain beyond towering sheets of full-height glass on a quarter-circle sweep of deck. Designed for family harmony with a plushly-private master-suite inhabiting its own rear wing (while sharing a curvaceous portion of deck), there's work/life balance in an easily enclosed/easily supervised glass-walled curtained study (with sculptural hanging showcase-shelving)...and a seamless flow of entertaining from a cutting-edge Miele appliance kitchen with dual-ovens and butler's pantry area, to a Verde Green marble feature-bar, to a well-appointed BBQ area. Curated with the finest natural stones and the widest French Oak wide-plank flooring, there are the tallest 2-Pac full-height doors, and the most velvety wool hand-tufted carpet. In this impeccable design, Carrara marble-topped vanities float in Tundra limestone-tiled bathrooms, motorised blinds backed Warwick sheer linen curtains, and About Space track-lighting shines beside Lucretia Lighting's South American crystal pendants and alabaster wall lights. From Murowash textured paint finishes for the kitchen and living zone, to nickel and aged brass tapware and hardware (and even rangehood), to the Colefax and Fowler wallpaper and Carrara herringbone tiles of the powder-room, every detail is considered and crafted here. Matching this high design with a passion for high-tech living, the home is made luxuriously comfortable by individual climate control to every room, while the bathrooms indulge with underfloor heating, heated towel rails and even a heated shower seat. Two glowing gas fires (one wrapped in Elba marble to match the kitchen) add further warmth and ambience. Wired with zoned Sonos speakers inside and out, and secured by integrated automation across CCTV, video entry and alarm, there's keyless entry and the added peace of mind of four-car gated parking including a through-access auto garage. Even the outdoors are obsessively designed with Spotted Gum decking meeting Italian Travertine paving in an irrigated, spotlit landscape that includes a modern formal front yard, a north-facing entertainers' garden, and a secret paved courtyard providing garage access via the laundry and mud-room). Located for family lifestyle around the corner from Kilvington Grammar School, this period-perfect home is also perfectly positioned just two blocks to EE Gunn Reserve, within 500m of Ormond shopping strip and station, close to buses to both campuses of Monash University, and a splash to the new Carnegie Pool and Wellness Centre.
