A striking expression of all-new French Provincial style, this singular 5 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom trophy home sets a Balwyn North benchmark for breathtaking attention-to-detail. Every distinctive finish of this very special home has been carefully crafted with a strong emphasis on luxury, privacy and the highest quality. No expense has been spared and nothing has been left to chance!

From street level, the pristine presence of this modern masterpiece is overwhelming. Beyond an auto-gated and double-crossover entry to a semi-circular granite driveway, the grand introduction to the home is high, wide and inviting through towering Georgian columns. A welcoming sense of depth branches off to a ground-floor bedroom, large home office, a formal lounge warmed by a gas log fireplace, and a cinematic media room highlighted by a sublime luminous ceiling, built-in audio and a high-end 4K LG projector.

Glide over European oak to reveal designated space for gallery-sized living and dining, stretching out in the all-day warmth of northern sunlight. Entertain in style with a stone-finished kitchen showcasing a custom island bench and the integration of top-of-the-range Miele appliances including a 5-burner gas cooktop, coffee machine, steamer/conventional/microwave ovens, and a cleverly concealed double-door fridge/freezer. A second kitchen is graced with unrivalled storage capacity, a dual-drawer dishwasher and a 5-burner Bosch gas cooktop. Both these chef-friendly workspaces will be a constant source of inspiration and a centrepiece for celebration.

Enjoying an inclusive all-seasons harmony between the internal and external, slide open bi-fold doors and embrace a genuine sense of occasion under a sheltered north-facing alfresco. Luxuriate in an automated, gas-heated pool and cook up a storm on high-performance Ziegler and Brown BBQs on natural gas. Underpinned by a private perimeter, this functional outdoor space works equally well for large-scale entertaining or retreating for some quiet time.

Discover a choice of sizeable and sunlit bedrooms, all with their own walk-in robes and luxe ensuites boasting floor-to-ceiling tiles, stone-topped vanities, premium tapware, concealed cisterns, and rainfall/hand-held shower fittings. The palatial master suite features additional living space, a vast dressing room with a standalone island, and a twin-vanity ensuite boasting a freestanding bath and decadent walk-in shower.

Take full advantage of a bright first-floor retreat, a large laundry, ground-floor powder room, a piano alcove under a spiral staircase, an upstairs bar with a Vintec fridge, substantial storage solutions, and a remote-controlled 3-car garage featuring internal and external access. Designed to promote ease of living, app-driven automation controls designer lighting, the swimming pool, heating/cooling, advanced HiLook security measures and so much more.
