Upgrade your family to new heights in luxury yet to celebrate its tenth birthday, this glorious builders own home sets a new standard for family luxury, from the resort – style in – ground pool to the huge downstairs casual living zone that could be converted to a self – contained apartment.

Framed by low – maintenance formal gardens with clusters of standard roses just waiting to bloom, the grand facade only hints at the expansive three storey home inside. Gleaming Rose Gum floorboards flow throughout the formal and casual living zones which include an elegant lounge/dining that leads to an impressive open – plan kitchen/meals and family living area.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite bench tops, stainless – steel appliances, and a walk – in pantry. For alfresco entertaining there is a wide wrap – around balcony under the roofline and by night the views of twinkling lights over the Heidelberg hills are simply stunning.

Downstairs, there is a huge rumpus room with space for a billiard table, a second kitchen, gym, sauna and powder room that gives the added flexibility to create a self – contained apartment. Better still, the solar – heated in – ground pool with cascading water feature is self – cleaning so there is more time to relax and entertain family and friends. Polished floorboards continue throughout the upper level too which comprises a main bedroom with ensuite and walk – in robe, family spa – bathroom, and three additional double – bedrooms with built – in robes.

An inspiring list of extras include a study, outdoor kitchen with built – in barbecue, ducted heating, air conditioning, and ducted vacuum, video intercom, and a triple garage with drive – through access to park a boat. The location is outstanding, with public transport at the end of the street and only minutes to the Eastern freeway, Heidelberg and Ivanhoe villages, Westfield Doncaster, Bulleen village, primary and secondary schools.
