43A Hoddle Street, Elsternwick, Vic 3185

Built to an uncompromising architectural specification as the developer's own home, this 32 Square residence rises impressively above the streetscape with an immensely adaptable up to four bedroom/potential dual living, three bathroom accommodation with the possibility of suites upstairs and down, a bonus home-office area lit by the soaring entry-void, and spectacularly entertaining living flowing to a well-appointed al fresco area.

Cleverly conceived with quiet living zone designed to double as a ground-floor suite, this breathtaking design puts the emphasis on parental privacy with a private master-wing incorporating a spa-ensuite and 5 Star dressing-room – luxuriously fitted with a Hollywood-style make-up area. A striking showpiece home with dramatically curated interiors, there are dual Miele ovens plus a 900mm induction cooktop for the cutting-edge 2-Pack kitchen, a clever open butler's pantry area extending to a second sizeable sink, and luxurious fully-tiled  ensuites and bathroom ... all set beneath up to 3m ceilings.

Showcasing luxury finishes from across the globe, the home showcases imported European tiles from Signorino (in a heated flagstone format for ground-floor flooring), Italian Scarabeo washplane basins and German Gerberit concealed-cistern WCs for each bathroom. In this impeccably-styled design, Brazilian granite graces kitchen benchtops, and Calacatta-style stone stars in the alfresco kitchen. Even the lighting is world-class; with a spectacular teardrop chandelier from Lucretia Lighting and a Stilnovo dining pendant against a backdrop of subtle pelmet and sub-cabinet LED lighting. 

Appointed with no expense spared, the homes features zoned climate-control supplemented by a wide-format gas-fireplace and hydronic heating (in-floor, panel and  towel-rail), and the security of video-intercom, Bosch alarm and a double auto-garage. There's even a massive 10kW solar-system to keep everyday expenses down. 

Located for family life just 200m from Wesley College and one block to Hopetoun Gardens, this world-class home  enjoys one of Melbourne's most cosmopolitan locations with bars and bistros and delis and delights of Glenhuntly Rd within a walk, the tram at the end of the street and an easy commute by road or rail in reach.
