Resplendent in grand French Provincial style, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom home is securely set behind a high brick and ornate ironwork fence, with dual automated driveway entries leading to basement parking for at least eight vehicles. A limestone forecourt leads to the grand double-door entry where the sumptuous fit-out, inspired by the opulence of the Louis XIV period, is introduced in the reception and foyer with hand-cut French oak parquetry flooring, antique chandeliers and a sweeping central grand staircase. The ground floor layout comprises formal and informal living, dining and entertaining spaces, all with verdant outlooks to Paul Bangay’s mastery, as well as a study and a guest bedroom suite. Defining the culinary space is a huge Calacatta marble island and an imported AGA four-oven cooker, complemented by an integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer and Miele dishwasher, while the amenity is matched in the adjoining butler’s kitchen with a second AGA and a second Miele dishwasher. Glass French and sliding doors open out to the alfresco terrace where there is an outdoor barbecue kitchen, outdoor bar with drinks fridge, and the poolside entertaining zone, featuring a cabana with built-in daybeds/storage, and shower.

The stunning fully mosaic-tiled pool set in limestone surrounds is gas and solar heated, with auto cleaning functionality, while the surrounding gardens and courtyards are rich in Paul Bangay’s signature style features including elegant fountains and statuary. The entertaining amenity continues on the basement level where there is a five-star cinema/games room, a wine cellar/tasting room, and a gym/studio (or additional bedroom).

Palatially proportioned and lavishly appointed, the showstopping primary suite features padded silk walls, city skyline outlooks, a five-star sanctuary-like marble bathroom with free-standing tub and double shower, and a luxury-boutique inspired custom-fitted walk-in robe and dressing room.

Additional standouts include luxe powder rooms on each level, upstairs laundry chute to the marble laundry with drying cupboard and external access, an abundance of storage, pure wool carpets, retractable fly screens, security system, Sonos sound system, reverse cycle heating/cooling (four zones), and hydronic heating in the basement.
