17 Bourneville Avenue, Brighton East, Vic 3187

Renovated and extended to create the ultimate family home, one where quality and luxury is paramount, where living and entertaining is a breeze, where innovation and creativity are showcased, where strong design principles are employed, where there's ample room for the family to spread out, and where a relaxing lifestyle is the dominant feature. The architects brief has been fulfilled at every point and delivering much more, this superb home is a triumph.

Premier finishes are used throughout. From superb blackbutt flooring, to a lovely Victorian ash staircase, to a magnificent sandstone (imported from India) feature wall in the living room - only the very best is used here. It's the same with the deluxe inclusions - video intercom entry, zoned alarm system, data cabling, extensive storage, automatic front gates, zoned cooling and ducted heating, db gge, surround sound in the living room and to the rear garden, external sensor lighting, up-lit gardens, the list goes on...

There's an inviting, ambience to the formal sitting room with open fireplace at the front of the residence, and at the rear the "WOW" sensational open-plan informal living has built-in wall unit; deep window seat; interesting wall cut-outs; acres of glazing with a wonderful outlook to the spectacular tropical garden (what a great alfresco entertaining area this is); a brilliant Clive Champion kitchen (all CaesarStone benchtops, Miele appliances, soft closing drawers, glossy cabinetry, etc) - it's an awesome room.

Then there's a ground floor bathroom, a powder room, 3 double bedrooms (WIRs/BIRs, the guest suite has an ensuite), plus there's a relaxing multi-purpose room (home office/rumpus room/retreat/library/music room?). But that's not all - upstairs there's a superior master bedroom suite with fascinating window treatment, interesting storage solutions, private balcony, opulent ensuite (heated towel rail, heat sensor pad to the mirror, spa bath) and fitted walk-in wardrobe. Next door is a 5th bedroom (BIRs) offering flexibility of use.

Although there's a 3000L water tank, the gardens here are virtually no maintenance. They're created with a native theme in the front garden, and a lush tropical paradise (with water feature) at the rear and side.

On an allotment of approx 650sq m / 7,000sq ft, this exciting property is mere minutes from Dendy Park and all manner of leisure pursuits, and handy to schools, train station, shopping, bistros, beach and all the activities that are to be enjoyed in Bayside.
