What is elegantly unassuming from the quiet expanses of Ironbark Avenue unveils a split-level showcase of quality, and ends in the views of Sturt Gorge you never saw coming, and the realisation this luxurious ode to the Mediterranean is something special.

The current owners asked the much-acclaimed Medallion Homes to bring their custom dream to life – a sophisticated three tier home on some 949sqm (approx), with walking trails at its rear doorstep.

That was 20 years ago. But such is its immaculate presentation and meticulous build, you can be forgiven for assuming it was born yesterday.

The stone water feature under a mood-lit dome is a fitting first impression of the top tier comprising three main bedrooms, including a master featuring a walk-in robe and an en-suite.

Most residences don’t have a view like this. And the first glimpses are served from the two-person spa of the en-suite for the perfect end to the day.

Before a taste of the Sturt Gorge becomes a full-blown, living and breathing work of art, stop to admire the middle tier, where a formal lounge and dining room lead to a quaint courtyard.

Then, with one last step down, the Gorge in all of its gum-studded glory comes flooding through big bay windows to make this no ordinary open-plan living area.

As the sun fades over the hill, take dinner to the pillared and stone-paved portico and lush terraced gardens, making this abode feel more like Tuscany than Flagstaff Hill. Special, indeed.

And it just gets better and better:
