Crafted with an unwavering commitment to excellence and drawing inspiration from classic Hamptons proportions, this stunning family residence designed by Harry Diakos of Abode Studio seamlessly blends modern luxury with timeless design throughout its expansive floor plan. This is a home that spares no expense in delivering next-level family luxury in a coveted family pocket, offering four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder room and a study equipped with the bespoke oak bookcase and desk.

Perfectly positioned in one of the area’s most sought-after tree-lined streets, a grand solid hardwood pivot door opens to interiors defined by soaring three-metre ceilings and illuminated by sunlight. The expansive open-plan living and dining area is anchored by a statement 3.2-metre Carrara marble island and 2-pac joinery, setting the stage for an entertainer’s dream kitchen. Featuring a suite of Miele appliances—including induction cooktop, steam oven, and traditional oven, alongside the integrated Liebherr fridge and freezer and a Vintec wine fridge, this culinary space is matched by an oversized butler’s kitchen featuring a gas cooktop and bathed in natural light.

Floor-to-ceiling glass doors flow effortlessly to a limestone-paved terrace completed with an integrated Artusi BBQ and marble-topped outdoor kitchen, ideal for refined alfresco entertaining in the secluded north/west backyard, soaked with sunshine.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers a true sanctuary, featuring oversized walk-in robe with bespoke oak cabinetry and opulent ensuite enveloped in full-height Tundra marble. The refined palette of oak, 2-pac joinery and marble flows seamlessly through the home, carrying through to the built-in robes of the secondary bedrooms and bathrooms and powder room. There are huge amounts of floor-to-ceiling storage cabinetry throughout the house.

Designed with meticulous attention to detail, this sophisticated residence also includes an internally accessed double garage with floor to ceiling storage cabinetry, leading to a private courtyard, comprehensive security with Intercom and security alarm. Additional premium features include full double-glazing windows and doors, engineered oak flooring, wool carpet, a high-performance Daikin reverse-cycle zoned climate system and gas log fireplace, NBN internet access and solar hot-water with a back-up gas heating system to ensure the hot water is instantaneously available even on a cloudy or raining day.

For those who appreciate the convenience, aesthetics, and warmth of gas cooking and a gas log fireplace, this is among the last recently built homes (with a planning permit), to still have both included - following the State Government’s ban on natural gas connections for all new homes requiring a planning permit, effective from 1 January 2024.

Walk easily to the cafes, restaurants, shops and village vibes of Ashburton, as well as parkland, city-bound trams and trains from Ashburton Railway Station and a variety of schools including Ashburton Primary School, Korowa Anglican Girl’s school and Caulfield Grammer School.
