4 Waters Edge Place, Edithvale, Vic 3196

This is high-end architecture within one of the beachfront?s highly-sought gated enclaves. Designed by e+ architecture, this four bedroom plus home-office residence goes beyond prestige to offer luxury, lifestyle and location within its precision-designed walls.

From its exciting entry featuring vast cedar pivot-door and sculptural stacked glass side-light, the home opens up into a light-filled expanse featuring a ground-floor dedicated to working and living. Behind a vast opaque-glass cavity slider, the individually-climate controlled home-office showcases rich cabinetry and quiet spaces, while beyond a second massive pivot door, there?s space to lounge and dine beneath a skylit ceiling. Then, through a wall of commercial-quality stacking-doors, paved gardens are graced with a water-wall feature and fully-tiled pool behind frameless glass screening.

Above, an exciting bay-view space takes the place of a traditional formal lounge, opening wide to a deep balcony and adding a fully-wired home-theatre experience to its use. Even the master-suite showcases the architect's design to detail, with a dual ensuite featuring double-shower and marble-topped dual vanity, and a professionally fitted walk-in-robe mixing cupboard, drawer and dressing-table spaces.

Finished to beyond-prestige standard, this 5-star home showcases the fittings expected of a home of this standard. The Stone Italiana kitchen features a butler?s pantry and modular AEG appliances (including BBQ grill and fryer), bathrooms feature state-of-the art Accent tapware and the cool Sicilian limestone that is echoed in flagstone flooring throughout.

Naturally, the home is fitted with climate control (set for 4 individual zones), audio wiring (also zoned), ducted vacuum and alarm system. Gardens are fully drip-watered and double garaging includes auto-entry and cellaring space. Less expected, is an exceptional attention to detail that sees cutting-edge under-tile floor heating, video-surveillance and a discreet wet-bar (with integrated Liebherr fridge) adding to the lifestyle mix.

Even the location goes above and beyond, with the beach stretching out to the front and direct pedestrian access to the shopping strip and station. With the bay?s most swimmable beach so close, the Mentone schools within a few stations and the CBD commute within easy reach, this is beachfront design of the highest order.
