1 Millah Road, Balwyn, Vic 3103

Set in 1190sqm of beautifully landscaped gardens between Canterbury’s Golden Mile and Balwyn Village, the divine design of this magnificent contemporary home not only provides a large and luxurious living environment, it forms a perfectly private indoor/outdoor sanctuary with a close connection to nature. Designed by renowned Melbourne architect Col Bandy, its substantial proportions make the utmost of their remarkable parcel with every oversized room unfolding to one or more lushly landscaped outdoor domains or a series of Juliet balconies that enjoy verdant leafy views. High ceilings, panoramic glazing, abundant natural light and hardwood timber floors amplify the sense of space and outdoor connection in generous four bedroom three bathroom accommodation that offers multiple living areas, a fully fitted home office, unforgettable ground floor main bedroom suite, large upstairs kids’ domain, sumptuous pool with cabana/ games room and remote double garage.

A superb surprise behind a secure, high walled entry, soaring clerestory windows flood a central hall/foyer with beautifully bright natural light, linking the executive study/ office finished with extensive custom storage to the palatial main bedroom that forms its own retreat with a serene sitting domain, walk-in robe/storage, ensuite and secluded breakfast courtyard. Beyond, a tranquil feature garden takes centre stage around which a generous living and dining room with open fireplace, open plan family living/ dining and a third living room with dual built-in desks and office storage unfold to paved indoor/outdoor entertaining areas – a stunning setting indeed for quiet contemplation or grand scale family occasions. A stone-finished family kitchen featuring NEFF appliances, including gas cooktop and steam oven, overlooks open plan family areas that also unfold to a large bluestone paved entertaining terrace with auto café awning amidst the deep landscaped rear garden. Here, the sumptuous pool awaits offering fabulous family entertaining complemented by the ideal poolside games room featuring built-in media storage and storeroom. 

Upstairs, a long gallery like retreat with multiple Juliet balconies overlooks the central feature garden, linking together a family bathroom and three oversized bedrooms with built-in robes, study areas and their own Juliet balconies overlooking the rear garden. Further highlights include laundry with storage and chute, ducted heating/cooling, sound system, alarm, solar panels, substantial subfloor cellar/storage accessed via stairs and hatch door, auto garden irrigation, internally accessed remote double garage and additional parking.
