OBVIOUS

A home to pass down through generations, the attention to detail is obvious in this fully renovated two-storey California bungalow.

A sanctuary within the quiet neighbourhood or the first choice for family gatherings, this five bedroom plus study home features four bathrooms including three ensuites. Redesigned from the ground up, the architects restored heritage features on the street-facing exterior, as well as the open fireplaces throughout the home.

The retreat-like master bedroom includes a premium walk-in-robe and the ensuite is equipped with a limestone freestanding bath and double shower. You'll find the second master bedroom upstairs, also with a walk-in-robe and master ensuite, and romance in the form of an Oriel bay window overlooking Surrey Hills. Uniquely, all three ensuites in the home feature marble throughout.

Every comfort addressed, under your feet you'll find European oak timber floors that lead you to an open plan kitchen, living, dining and entry hallway. When the electric gas fireplace isn't turned on to spark atmosphere, the hydronic heating throughout the house will counter any Melbourne winter.

The kitchen has been meticulously designed, put together to optimise storage with floor to ceiling joinery. Pair this with Miele appliances like the self-cleaning double oven and induction cooktop, a butler's pantry with wine fridge, and Elba marble benchtops and splashbacks.

The beach has come to Surrey Hills with a fully automated, app controlled, mosaic tiled salt water pool. If the beach was self-cleaning and heated all year round, that is. Holidays won't be hosted elsewhere with hardwood decking, a built-in outdoor kitchen with BBQ, alfresco weather cover and automated blind, complete with synthetic grass basketball court and enclosed netting. The gardens are equipped with automated irrigation and landscaped by multi-award-winning Natures Best Landscapes.

High ceilings, high tech. For those who value privacy: remote controlled electric gates with video intercom and Samsung automated swipe or pin code enabled double-door entry. Control your mood from your pocket with reverse cycle and zoned air conditioning, sheer curtains and electric blinds all fully app-controlled. Surround sound courtesy of Sonos.

The contemporary extension means that the floorplan flows seamlessly throughout the home. The family bathroom has direct access to the pool, the laundry - equipped with concrete benchtops poured on-site - flows out to the basketball court. All four of your cars accommodated on the property, and a fenced garden shed can store unwanted gifts.

SEALS THE DEAL

Diligently designed for beauty without compromising on function, this perfectly balanced home has all bases covered - from storage to flow to your family's next chapter.
