A local landmark set within a breathtaking botanic garden and pool paradise designed by Rick Eckersley, this remarkable c1908 solid brick 6-bedroom Edwardian on 2180 sqm (approx.) is a celebration of palatial proportions, irreplaceable elegance and unparalleled family functionality. Expansive interior dimensions and meandering established gardens provide the space for entertaining family and friends on the most lavish scale imaginable.

Behind the wide frontage (55 sqm approx.), the imposing entrance hall featuring high ceilings and spotted gum floors flows through to an executive study with balcony and to the grand scale formal sitting and dining room with leadlight windows. Equally dramatically proportioned, the family living and dining areas with a built in bar with fridge are adjacent to a sensational media/cinema room beneath a vaulted ceiling. The connoisseur’s kitchen is capable of meeting any culinary requirement with its stone benches, quality appliances and butler’s pantry.

The living spaces open out to a large, elevated deck draped in vines and a bluestone terrace surrounding the picturesque solar/gas heated pool and spa. Beyond the pool also shrouded in vines, an exceptionally generous undercover pavilion with BBQ, sink and speakers provides an unbeatable venue for all weather al fresco dining and entertaining. The glorious gardens shaded by established trees encompass a large ornamental pond with fountains and a vine covered gazebo.

An abundance of family accommodation upstairs comprises the lavish main bedroom with walk in robe and opulent ensuite, four additional robed bedrooms, a 6th bedroom or retreat with balcony, a powder-room and a designer bathroom with freestanding bath. On the basement level there is a double garage, gym and 1400 bottle wine cellar.

In a prestigious and tightly held pocket close to Maling Rd, Canterbury and Chatham station, Whitehorse Rd tram and leading private and public schools. It is comprehensively appointed with an alarm, CCTV, ducted heating, zoned RC/air-conditioning, in-built speakers, 2nd powder-room, laundry, irrigation, 65,000L underground water tank, solar panels, garden sheds, auto gate and ample off-street parking.
