4 Rossfield Avenue, Kew, Vic 3101

Proudly revealing a bold double-story reinterpretation of its circa-1920s heritage, this breath-taking California Bungalow is a lavish resort-like indulgence benefiting from a landmark renovation undertaken by the award-winning Andrew Parr of SJB. Masterfully, the home has been crafted to synthesise a superior level of appointment and private poolside entertaining with a flexible four-to-five bedroom floorplan that also offers two studies, all in a remarkably peaceful location that is right on the cusp of Kew’s coveted private school belt.

Opening up in spectacular style, vast open-plan dining / living is underpinned by a gourmet kitchen in which a suite of Miele appliances – including induction cooking – is complemented by a Liebherr integrated refrigerator and striking white Macaubas Marble benches. Effortlessly, huge double-glazed sliding doors extend the open-plan outdoors to a bluestone paved entertaining area, a partly undercover dining area and an outdoor kitchen, all of which is designed to overlook the gas and solar-heated in-ground swimming pool and spa.

The main bedroom is a wonderful indulgence with huge built-in and walk-through robes leading to a sumptuous Balinese-inspired ensuite that features more marble, a double basin vanity and an inspired private courtyard outlook. Another pair of upstairs bedrooms – one with city views – have each been appointed with walk-in robes and share easy access to a second study and a retreat / forth bedroom, for all the flexibility a large and growing family may require.

With a double lock-up garage and gated driveway parking for an additional 3 cars, the home can comfortably accommodate five vehicles, plus there are another two marble bathrooms and a large laundry. Additional highlights of this luxury-led residence include evocative feature lighting throughout, a striking moon-inspired light fitting above the home’s showpiece central staircase and automated blinds, as well as extensive double-glazing to the downstairs windows facing the pool, an outdoor shower to service the swimming pool, secure video entry, an alarm, central and zoned heating and refrigerated air conditioning.

This is an exclusive, leafy location that offers proximity not only to a diversity of elite schools, but also to all the shops, cafes, restaurants and bars of Glenferrie Road, while Kew Junction offers multiple tram routes for effortless commuting to the CBD.
