Soaring across three expansive levels, this stylish, contemporary entertainer enjoys light-filled interiors, designer finishes and city glimpses from its enviable locale in an exclusive pocket of Bardon. In fact, situated just down the road from Government House and less than 5km from the CBD, its unique position is such that the property boasts a vibrant lifestyle with shops, parks and great eateries all only minutes away yet is also located in what is essentially a near-private road, surrounded almost entirely by established trees and well-maintained greenery.

However its outstanding locale is just one of this property’s many desirable traits, with a quality build and designer style ensuring the home itself remains very much a star attraction. From the street, the building rises majestically up from the road with a varied use of external materials including glass, stainless steel and timber cladding ensuring maximum interest and architectural aesthetic despite its grand dimensions.

Stepping inside, the floor plan has been split into three practical zones; utilities on the ground level, children on the middle and family and entertainment on the uppermost floor. This means that not only is there a great separation of living, but a deceptively large floor space for the 402sqm block. The rooms themselves also offer incredibly generous proportions, promoting an overall feeling of great space and superb liveability.

The uppermost floor is really where it’s at, with the open plan lounge and dining space able to open onto an East-facing deck and sprawling balcony by way of multiple banks of bi-folding and sliding doors. This blueprint in turn very much promotes the feeling of indoor/outdoor living and encapsulates both the breezes and those stunning views across the leafy suburbs to the city beyond. The kitchen benefits equally from this design, with its dark cabinetry and stainless steel appliances forming a dynamic contrast to the light, bright airiness of the rest of the home.

The master bedroom is located nearby and offers the same light interior, which is similarly anchored by the rich mocha-tonings of the ensuite. With a spa-bath, dual recess shower and adjacent walk-in wardrobe, this space is most in keeping with a home of this calibre. A further three bedrooms are located on the level below, with each enjoying access to a balcony or terrace, built-in wardrobes and shared use of the family bathroom. An expansive family room also occupies much of this floor, with plenty of room for music, movies and for children to entertain their own friends either inside or on the home’s second large balcony.

The ground floor makes space for a good-sized laundry, third full bathroom, dual vehicle garage and plentiful storage facilities. But as is seemingly always the case with this house, the amenities and space don’t end there. For at the rear of the home, flanking the salt water pool exists not one but two additional rooms that could either be used as studies, home offices (one boasts built-in cabinetry) or even a gym or sewing room. Finally, a powder room, ducted air and security complete the picture.

Perfectly configured for family living, this home boasts all the space and dimensions of an executive suburban residence, but with the lifestyle and low-maintenance upkeep of an inner-city abode. Truly the best of both world’s amidst the most elegant of surrounds.
