This imposing executive residence, master-built to the most exacting standards, has been designed to maximize light and to create free-flowing living spaces. Set on an elevated corner allotment (963 sq,m) opposite parkland, it enjoys an enviable location – excellent private and government schools, shopping and public transport are within walking distance of this quiet tree-lined street, and Deakin University’s Burwood campus is close by.

From the front terrace, double doors open to a spectacular atrium reception area, flanked by classic rectangular pillars, and soaring to the second storey. To the right, double doors lead to a handsome study, balanced on the other side by an elegantly-proportioned formal living and dining area. Beyond the deep foyer is a magnificent main bedroom suite, with room-size dressing room and luxury bathroom with separate bath and shower. There is a second large bedroom (originally designed as a home cinema) on the ground floor, adjoining a powder room. The informal living and dining area is set to the rear of the house, where a wall of north-facing windows opens to a loggia-style verandah overlooking a large expanse of lawn, edged by mature snow pears. The family area of the house – large by any standards – is overlooked by a sleek gourmet kitchen fitted with quality European appliances. Beyond this is a second wok/ butler’s kitchen, similarly well-equipped, and a full-size laundry utility room adjacent to the double garage.

From the atrium a handsome jarrah staircase sweeps up to the second level, surmounted by a hand-made contemporary chandelier. Here, a U-shaped gallery opens to a balcony overlooking the park. Three well-separated large bedrooms (one with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe), a third living zone with north-facing balcony, and a further bathroom complete the upstairs accommodation.

This tranquil property, one of the most impressive contemporary houses in Surrey Hills, has been finished to an exemplary level – here is eastern suburbs living at its finest!
