Indulge yourself in a holiday lifestyle of luxurious comfort. This remarkable 46sqm (approx.) home set on 1,064sqm (approx.) comprises a functional yet elegant layout split over four levels of flow-through living. With panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay and a stunning nightscape, this four-bedroom home is superbly located on the upper-side of the street in McCrae's gorgeous hinterland adjacent to Arthurs Seat State Park.
From the moment you arrive, you'll know this is the property on the Peninsula with the 'wow' factor you've been waiting for. The aggregate driveway and low-maintenance established garden of yuccas and succulents welcome you to the front deck and spacious entrance foyer with its own private lounge or 4th bedroom. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms on the mezzanine level each have BIRs and access to a 4sqm (approx.) deck with bay views. They also have convenient access to the main bathroom with corner spa and the rear undercover entertaining area. The spacious and comfortable main lounge is on the second top level with cathedral ceilings, dimmable lights, open fire, built-in bar with sink and bar-fridge, large windows flanked by Queensland louvres and a deck with yacht-rigging balustrades overlooking the sparkling blue waters of the bay.
Enjoy striking views of the fountain and rear garden through the glass wall in the contemporary formal dining area where vaulted ceilings add to the spaciousness. Or you might prefer to entertain your guests outside in the large open space complete with wood-fired pizza oven. The huge master bedroom opens to a rear deck and boasts an 8-door purpose-built wardrobe, reverse cycle heating/cooling and an impressive full ensuite bathroom with double shower, double vanity, deep bath, toilet and bidet.
The open-plan kitchen and informal dining on the fourth and top level present an equally enviable seascape. The well-appointed kitchen comprises granite benchtops, breakfast bar, built in “hot rocks” grill, Emilia stainless steel oven with 6-burner gas cooktop, insinkerator food waste disposer and a very large butler's pantry with wine fridge, double pantry, European laundry and plenty of cupboard space. Set off the casual dining area is a spacious den with built-in bookcase and garden views, perfect for natural inspiration working from home.
The gigantic Cyprus hedges that border each side of the backyard ensure your ultimate privacy while the rear boundary adjoins the State Park. Other features of the home include a remote control double lockup garage with internal access and an area for a workshop and cellar, double block-out blinds, gas wall furnaces, reverse cycle heating/cooling on all levels, a third bathroom outside with shower, toilet and vanity, and a separate rear studio with electricity, plumbing and hot water. With six decks in total, three living areas on three levels and plenty of space throughout, this decadent home is the ideal place for entertaining, growing families or a luxury holiday home.
