Modern family living meets resort-style entertaining in this remarkably private, security-focused residence, where light-filled space, niche breakout zones and seamless outdoor connection create a luxurious urban sanctuary of impeccable quality and attention to detail.

Conceived by the renowned Neil Architecture studio, the home is a rare surprise in scale, unfolding across multiple levels with a solar-heated pool, a series of alfresco settings, and a spectacular rooftop terrace offering panoramic views to the East, all while maintaining exceptional seclusion and serenity, yet remaining effortlessly connected to the inner city’s most coveted lifestyle amenities.

Beyond its striking street presence, three-metre ceilings introduce a spacious entry and refined fireside living room, complemented by a versatile ground-floor bedroom with its own terrace connection. A laundry, bathroom, and powder room add everyday ease before the home opens to a stylish, airy north-facing open-plan living and dining zone wrapped in multi-aspect glazing that dissolves into the outdoors and amplifies the sense of space and light.

A sleek kitchen is beautifully appointed with an oversized waterfall island and breakfast bar, a suite of premium Miele appliances, and an expansive butler’s pantry, supporting everyday ease and large-scale entertaining alike. Indoor-outdoor flow is superb, extending to a side terrace with an automated louvre roof for all-weather alfresco space, continuing to a rear garden framed by timber decking and a solar-heated pool with space to lounge, relax and host, with multiple access points, including directly to the rear bathroom, enhancing versatility and liveability.

Upstairs, a dedicated home office with four workstations is balanced by a separate reading room or play area, while accommodation is thoughtfully zoned for growing households. The generous main suite impresses with a walk-through robe and a fully-tiled ensuite with dual vanities, joined by two further robed bedrooms and a family bathroom with tub. Continuing the home’s multi-level reveal, stairs rise to the private rooftop terrace, while below, a basement cinema accessed via the garage creates a brilliant retreat for family movie nights or teen independence.

Additional features include hydronic heating, zoned split-system comfort, ducted vacuum, internal-access garage, gated driveway parking, and abundant storage throughout as well as rear access. In addition to this, there is only one neighbouring property giving the home a quiet and private advantage.

Positioned for outstanding daily convenience, this address sits close to Bridge Road and Swan Street’s dining precincts, Burnley Park and the Yarra River trails, the MCG, AO and Punt Hill, Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre, Richmond Station and city-bound trams, with zoning for Melbourne Girls’ College and nearby Richmond High School adding a compelling family advantage. The result is a truly unique home where architectural intent, impeccable quality and exceptional security combine to deliver a stunning inner-city family sanctuary.
