Promoting function, fluency, and avant-garde architectural flair, this Steve Domoney-designed showpiece delivers a masterclass in family luxury.
Doubtless one of Essendon’s most luxurious and innovative pieces of design, a wonderfully bright and open interior serves to capture natural light, painting a pair of sumptuous storeys in all-day rays. Light voids enrich an inviting hallway and sensational main section, joining floor-to-ceiling windows in affording an ambiance of airiness and distinction. Each boasting superb marble benches, a wraparound wet bar adjoins a first-class kitchen, with a luxe butler’s pantry accompanied by a comprehensive suite of upscale Miele appliances. A magnificent living/dining area meets a supreme backyard setting with barbecue kitchen, with full-height and width sliding glass opening to create an unrivalled entertainer’s domain. Equally practical in winter months, a gas and wood fire enhance indoor and outdoor areas respectively, with an exceedingly private yard sculpted to the specifications of industry-leader Jack Merlo. The crux of an extraordinary plan, a radiant, self-cleaning pool soaks in uninterrupted northern sun, accompanied by a covered lounge and outdoor bathroom.
