Luxury, opulence and sophistication – it’s all here in this Lysterfield stunner where no expense has been spared to create the ultimate entertainer.
Set on 1.82 acres in one of Lysterfield’s best addresses, you know you’re in for something out of the ordinary from the minute you enter the secure gates and drive past the lake, gardens and floodlit tennis court.
What greets you is a home that wouldn’t be out of place in Bel Air or Beverly Hills.
Step through the stunning, specially designed front doors and your jaw will drop in the expansive entry foyer with porcelain tiles and grand sweeping staircase reminiscent of Gone with the Wind.
And the surprises keep coming with almost 120 squares of luxury living. Styling is first class with intricate cornices, larger than normal architraves, and high ceilings throughout.
Upstairs is an entertainer’s delight, with an enormous formal lounge and dining room, complete with wet bar.
You’ll be able to cook up a storm in the designer kitchen with CaesarStone benches, Emporite cabinets with concealed fridge/freezer and dishwasher, and Miele appliances, including a built-in cappuccino machine. A dumb waiter from the ground floor to the large walk-in pantry means bringing in groceries is never a chore. The piece de resistance is the drop-dead gorgeous red CaesarStone island waterfall bench.
There’s also a large meals area and even bigger lounge, and four reverse/cycle air-conditioners keep it comfortable year-round. Gorgeous sandstone-styled porcelain floor tiles run throughout the home, and are warmed upstairs by underfloor heating.
Almost as stunning is the view, which looks right over the Carrington Estate. What could be better than watching the sun set with a cool drink in hand?
Back downstairs there is more to be enjoyed.
Relax in the library which features kauri floorboards, built-in oak bookcases and a gas fireplace.
There are shades of Palazzo Versace in the master bedroom, with an impressive dressing room and ravishing ensuite, with shower, spa bath, bidet and another red CaesarStone bench.
Sleeping accommodation is well looked after, with four more bedrooms, three with walk-in robes and ensuites.
Further down the hall is a home theatre to die for, complete with screen-mounted projector, drop-down screen and built-in cabinets, and the home is wired throughout for Foxtel and internet.
A second kitchen and meals area at the far end of the house features the same CaesarStone benches, Ilve oven and Miele dishwasher, and looks over both the tennis court and solar and gas-heated, ozone-chlorinated indoor swimming pool.
Cedar paneling adorns the ceiling of the pool area, while the same floor tiles as in the rest of the house flow around the pool and up the walls. The more energetic will enjoy the gymnasium or sweating it out in the sauna. Caf-style folding doors bring the outside in.
What better place to enjoy a Sunday afternoon family get-together than in the enclosed cabana, featuring its own pizza oven, mains-gas built-in barbecue and gas fireplace. Or enjoy the paved outdoor area, complete with motorised awning.
Completing the picture is extensive security and surveillance system, reverse-cycle air-conditioners in every room, two water tanks totaling 45,000 litres at the front of the property and a 50,000 litre tank for maintaining the pool, fully irrigated and landscaped grounds and a four-car garage with plenty of extra storage space.
This is a home that has to be seen to be believed.
