18 Ilma Court, Bulleen, Vic 3105

What's obvious from the outset is the prestigious Ilma Court address - one of the most desirable upmarket enclaves in Bulleen. But what isn't as obvious is the exceptional 47.5sq (approx.) layout of this stately home, disguised by a single-level facade that hides two self-contained levels of living luxury tailor-made for the large family with multi-generational living requirements.

Crafted by the builder who happens to own this remarkable residence, a premium standard of quality and high attention to detail are therefore assured within this well insulated and solid-built home.

Grand living spaces total three in number, intelligently segregated to offer formal areas for elegant entertaining and communal living for everyday functionality. Furthermore, both levels are fully self-contained, allowing the extended family to co-exist without disturbing the harmony of the household.

Striking bulkhead ceilings add an element of grandeur to the lengthy entrance hallway, which runs alongside the opulent formal lounge and dining arrangement (with open fireplace and private courtyard access) before stopping at a stunning open-plan setting that's grand in every sense. Cooks of any level will fall head over heels for the huge kitchen framed with granite benchtops and splashback, timber cabinets, Butler's pantry and equipped with quality appliances, while the setting's direct access to the entertaining terrace boasting a serene outlook towards the neighbouring Yarra Valley Parklands promotes indoor-outdoor living. Bedrooms on the upper level are also of a stately size, given their ability to comfortably accommodate a double-sized bed.

A fully self-contained lower level with its own private entrance will also delight extended family members, with a well-appointed kitchen, spacious living area with wet bar, bedroom with built-in robes, laundry and ground-floor alfresco delivering a premium sense of privacy and freedom.

But there's more. Two storage areas under the house - one being a large storage room with plenty of height, space and concreted flooring - are guaranteed to eliminate clutter throughout the home, while a four-car remote garage with internal access presents safe and secure off-street parking.

Finished with premium drapes and pelmets, fully-tiled bathrooms, slab heating, evaporative cooling, split-system heating and cooling and ducted vacuum, it's clear that no corner of this home has been compromised in quality.

Conveniently located within moments of Marcellin College, well-regarded sporting facilities, transportation, Bulleen Plaza and the Eastern Freeway.
